What level of Microsoft PowerPoint knowledge do I need to take your courses?
You don’t need any specific knowledge to take our Microsoft PowerPoint courses, just a desire to learn and improve.
Our Introduction course assumes no prior knowledge, while our Advanced courses build on existing skills.
If you’re unsure which course is right for you, give us a call – we’re happy to help you find the perfect fit!
Will I learn how to design better-looking presentations?
You’ll learn the technical skills to implement good design, along with some basic design principles.
While we won’t turn you into a graphic designer, you’ll understand how to:
- Use themes and templates effectively.
- Create consistent, professional-looking slides.
- Work with colours and fonts appropriately.
- Arrange content for better visual impact.
- Use graphics and SmartArt to enhance your message.
How is the course structured? Will it be hands-on?
You bet! While we’ll demonstrate techniques, most of your day will be spent actually working in Microsoft PowerPoint. You’ll create slides, add content, apply formatting, and practice presentation techniques. It’s all about learning by doing!
Will I be able to apply what I learn immediately in my work?
What course materials do you provide?
Manuals and Training Files
So that you won’t need to carry home a printed manual, all participants on our face-to-face courses receive a PDF copy of the course manual and associated training files.
However, a printed copy can be made available at an additional cost.
Participants also get a pen and A5 Notepad to scribble down all those lovely tips and tricks for later.
Manuals and Training Files
For courses delivered online, links to our course manuals and exercise files are made available to participants to download prior to training. If you forget to download the files, they will be available on the day.
Is the course curriculum up-to-date with the latest Microsoft PowerPoint features and best practices?
Definitely! We continuously update our course content to reflect the latest features in Microsoft PowerPoint and industry best practices.
Our trainers are Microsoft PowerPoint experts who stay on top of new developments to ensure you’re learning the most current and relevant skills.
How many people can attend a training session?
Public Scheduled Training Courses
These courses are open to the general public, unlike closed courses which are exclusive to a single organisation.
- Group Size: Up to 6 participants but typically the average class size is 4, this ensures:
- Individual attention
- Group interaction benefits
- Comfortable learning environment
- Scheduling: Pre-set dates, these can be viewed on our Course Dates page.
- Location: Held at Keystroke Learning’s facility:
Suite 613, Level 6,
1 Queens Road
Melbourne, VIC 3004
These course are run with the standardised manuals and offer opportunities to network with learners from diverse backgrounds.
Closed Courses
Our group sessions are designed to optimise the learning experience:
- Standard capacity: Up to 10 participants

- Individual attention for each learner
- Beneficial group interactions
- A comfortable environment for questions and discussion
- For larger groups:
- Additional learners can be accommodated for an extra cost per person
- Multiple sessions can be arranged
- Other options are available to meet specific needs
We try to cap our courses so each learner receives personal attention. This creates a comfortable learning environment where participants can ask questions freely without the fear of being judged or feeling anxious about public speaking.
I'm nervous about public speaking - will this course help?
While it’s not a public speaking course, we’ll show you Microsoft PowerPoint features like Presenter View that can boost your confidence. You’ll learn how to set up your presentations to support your delivery, rather than having slides that compete with you for attention. Many participants find that understanding their tools better helps reduce presentation anxiety.
Can I bring my own presentation to work on?
While we follow a structured course outline to ensure everyone learns the core skills, we’re happy to look at specific challenges you’re facing with your own presentations during breaks or after the course. Plus, our lifetime post-course support means you can reach out for help when you’re working on your presentations back at work.
Will I be a presentation expert after taking the course?
Let’s be realistic, creating truly engaging presentations takes practice and experience. However, our courses give you the essential tools and techniques you need to start creating professional-looking presentations. You’ll learn the fundamentals of good presentation design and get hands-on practice with Microsoft PowerPoint’s features. Think of it as learning to paint – we’ll teach you about the brushes and techniques, but mastery comes with practice!
Will I receive a certificate after completing the course?
Yes! Upon completing your training course, you’ll be eligible for a Certificate of Completion.
This certificate confirms your participation and the specific skills covered in your chosen course.

What is the return on investment (ROI) of taking the course?
The ROI can be significant. Many of our students report increased productivity, ability to take on more complex tasks, and even career advancement after applying their new Microsoft PowerPoint skills.
While it’s hard to put an exact figure on it, consider how much time you could save each week by being more efficient over a year, this can add up to substantial time and cost savings for you or your organisation.
Lets use an intermediate course, priced at $385 with a 6 hour duration as an example. For a participant earning $40 per hour, the total investment, including opportunity cost, is $625 ($385 + $240).
We’ll now assume the course enables the participant to save 30 minutes per workday. In a typical work year with 250 workdays, this translates to 125 hours saved annually.
The value of time saved: 125 hours × $40/hour = $5,000 per year.
In this example, the course offers a substantial 700% ROI based on productivity gains alone. The participant’s investment breaks even in just over 6 workdays. This impressive return demonstrates the course’s potential to significantly improve efficiency in daily tasks, even with a conservative estimate of 30 minutes saved per day.
How does the cost compare to other Microsoft PowerPoint training options?
Our pricing is competitive, and we believe we offer the best value.
Our courses are led by expert trainers, who provide hands on experiences using content that is constantly kept up to date. We also offer lifetime post-course support, which most other providers don’t.
When comparing costs, it’s important to consider the overall package and long-term benefits, not just the price tag.
Can you customise the Microsoft PowerPoint course content for our company's needs?
Absolutely! If your team needs to learn specific features or create particular types of presentations, we’ll tailor the content to match. We can even incorporate your company templates and brand guidelines into the training.
Do you offer any follow-up support after the course?
Absolutely, as you delve into Microsoft PowerPoint, a few surprise questions may pop up like toast in a toaster and we are happy to help by addressing those questions.
We provide lifetime post-course support via email, phone even Teams and Zoom.
Contact us for any questions that might arise as you start applying your new skills.
What is the policy for missed classes, cancellation or rescheduling?
We know that life often throws up the unexpected and so we offer as much flexibility on our courses as we commercially are able to.
However, when you book a place on a course, we can’t offer that place to someone else. Therefore, we need to put a limit on changes and cancellations.

Can you explain what 'closed course' means?
A closed course is a specific type of training arrangement. Let me explain what it typically means:
A closed course, also known as a private course, is:
- Exclusively arranged for a single organisation or group.
- Not open to the general public.
- Often customised to meet the specific needs of the client.
Key features of a closed course:
- Attendees are typically from the same company or organisation.
- The content can be tailored to address specific organisational needs or challenges.
- The schedule is often more flexible, arranged to suit the client’s preferred dates and times.
- Usually held at the client’s premises or at the Keystroke Learning’s training facility.
- The group size can be adjusted based on the organisation’s requirements.
- Confidentiality is maintained as sensitive company information can be discussed freely.
Closed courses are beneficial for organisations that want to train a group of employees together, ensure consistent skill development across a team, or the company.
