Have you ever wondered how to create business documents, presentations, spreadsheets and other company files and templates?

Even though Microsoft software applications are universal in the modern world and on most people’s desktops, not everyone can use them to their full extent.

It’s like playing the guitar – just because someone can strum a few chords and play a couple of easy songs doesn’t mean that they can actually perform more difficult songs or solos, let alone jazz or classical music pieces.

Microsoft Training Courses - Keystroke Learning

Likewise, each of us can type in Word or create a simple PowerPoint presentation, but who can really make use of all complex functions in Excel or efficiently store information in Access?

That is why Microsoft computer courses are the best way to learn some of the more advanced features of these powerful programs.

Indeed, our Microsoft computer training courses allow our participants to engage, interact and get constructive feedback, all of which have proved to be invaluable. Moreover, if you participate in the best Microsoft training courses, you will most certainly take your skills to an advanced level. Again, you probably know how to use Word for simple tasks, but can you build a template in it?

There are numerous features that not many people can teach you appropriately. We assure you that you will be surprised when you find out all the features and functions of these seemingly simple software applications, let alone when you learn how to use them effectively.

Do you need to analyse and store data, summarise expenses or quickly sort and filter a list?

Microsoft Excel is used for precisely this purpose. You can also perform powerful analytical tasks and data visualisations using Microsoft Power BI.  

If instead, you need to create business documents such as reports or letters, Microsoft Word is the leading word processing software on the market. For your next presentation, PowerPoint is the way to go, and it’s likely that you already use Microsoft Outlook to organise your email, scheduling, and contacts. If you are using Office 365, then you already have these tools at your fingertips.

You can add digital note-taking to your toolbox by using OneNote for your meeting notes and research. Microsoft Visio is used to create professional looking business diagrams such as flow charts and organisation charts, while Microsoft Project will help you to set up and manage your next project, and Microsoft Access is used to store and manage large data sets. Finally, to help make all this information available to your team and allow for true collaboration, to help you make all this information available to your team and provide true collaboration, you can use Microsoft Teams or Microsoft SharePoint.

Beginner to Intermediate Advanced Microsoft Training Courses

Beginner to Advanced Microsoft Training Courses

Some of our courses are aimed towards beginners, while some of them are more advanced courses.

Accordingly, in our introductory courses, we teach participants how to use basic functions of these programs, whereas our advanced Microsoft training courses are designed to suit those users who already have a solid foundation of skills.

However, what we can say from our extensive experience is that there is always something new to learn. Whatever your current skill level is, rest assured that you will walk out of the training room with far more knowledge and confidence than you had before the course.

In addition, we have designed courses that are focused on specific aspects of a software application, such as Pivot Tables in Excel or templates in Word. This way, our participants can choose to learn only those features that they really need.

Our participants always walk out of the classroom feeling confident of their new skills. Our approach is professional, yet friendly and personalised. We are proud that our clients consistently rate our courses as among the best Microsoft training courses they have attended, if not the best.

Microsoft Access is a flexible database application that is used to store information for reference, reporting, and analysis purposes.

Microsoft Access can help you analyse extremely large amounts of information, and it manages related data more efficiently than Microsoft Excel or other applications.

Microsoft Excel is perhaps the most important software application used in business today. Excel spreadsheets are excellent for working with business information. 

Data is inserted into individual cells in rows or columns, which can then be used for both simple and complex calculations using formulas.

With Office 365 you have access to your Office applications from anywhere at any time. Log in with your Office 365 account and everything is there ready to go, all your Office applications and much more. 

Also, with your subscription, you get automatic updates for your applications, no more waiting for the next version to be released.

Microsoft OneNote is a digital notetaking application that allows users to type or add handwritten notes, drawings, audio recordings, file attachments, screen clippings, and video.

It’s an application most people have access to but don’t realise the benefits of using such a powerful program.

At Keystoke Learning we like to describe Microsoft OneNote as the best application you’ve never used!

Microsoft Outlook is a personal information manager which is part of the Microsoft Office suite. Although it is primarily used as an email application.

Outlook also includes a calendar, task manager, contact manager and note taking tools. 

Users can quickly create appointments and meetings, add contact information, and set up tasks to assist with time management tasks.

Microsoft Power BI (Business Intelligence) is a business intelligence and analytics tool. It can easily connect to a huge range of data sources, including your existing Excel spreadsheets, SQL databases, and more.

Once connected, it allows transformation and cleansing of data to create visually immersive and interactive dashboards, providing end users with live real time analytics of data that they use on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. 

Microsoft PowerPoint is used to create professional looking slideshows that can be displayed on projectors or big-screen TVs.

During a presentation, PowerPoint slides are used as backdrops to reinforce the key points made by the presenter and to add visual information.

Slides can also be sent to attendees to provide extra information before or after the presentation.

Microsoft Project is a project management software application that displays information in a Gantt chart.

It is used to develop project plans, assign resources, such as employees, tradespeople or developers to tasks, track progress, maintain schedules and analyse workloads.

Microsoft SharePoint is used by companies for intranets, document management, employee collaboration, process automation and much more; all centralised through a single comprehensive platform.

It is customisable, so a business can build the specific tools required within SharePoint.

Microsoft Teams is a communication and collaboration tool that is part of the Microsoft 365 Suite. 

It can be used for video conferencing, instant messaging, shared file storage, document co-authoring and much more. Microsoft Teams helps teams work together remotely.  

Microsoft Visio is a business diagramming application used to create layouts, diagrams, and charts. It can be thought of as design program for “non-designers”

Visio has a huge library of standard images for use in flowcharts, decision diagrams, workflows, and network diagramming.

Microsoft Word is a word processing program used to create various business documents. 

It is the standard for all word processing programs on the market due to the wealth of features and tools it contains. Word can be used to create letters, memos and reports.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Self Paced Assisted Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning combines the best of independent learning with the best of trainer assisted learning.

This unique approach to learning works as follows:

Each participant is provided with a training manual for a given application and level, and they work through a series of exercises.

If they get stuck or don’t understand a concept, the trainer is immediately available to help them understand the issue at hand and to give examples of how to implement the feature or application.

It is not uncommon to see one person working on an Excel Advanced manual while the person beside them is doing a Word Introduction, and another is working on something else.

Active Monitoring

The role of the trainer in the Self Paced environment is quite different to their role in a typical classroom. Even when each participant is working well unassisted, the trainer will be actively monitoring their progress, providing feedback and encouragement as well as fine-tuning the learning process. There is usually little time to “take it easy” as the trainer works to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of learning.

Personalised Learning

Self Paced Assisted Learning is very personalised, with the interactions generally being around individuals and small groups.

These sessions can be broken into 1.5-hour blocks of time, allowing up to 4 sessions in a day, thus allowing a larger number of people to attend for shorter time periods.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Seminar Training

Seminar Training

Is your team lost in the tech wilderness, sending smoke signals for help?

Let’s face it, expecting your staff to “figure it out” on their own is a recipe for chaos, confusion, and probably a few broken keyboards. Relying on this approach is like using “password123” for your bank account, technically possible, but you’re just asking for trouble.

Keystroke Learning - Learning Methods - Roving Training

Roving Training

Roving Training brings expert facilitators directly to your workspace, either in-person or virtually, to address specific training needs.

Looking for training that’s as unique as your team? You might stumble upon a few buzzwords like “Roving Training”, “On-Demand Training”, “Floor Walking”, “Corporate Trubleshooting”, “Floater”, or “Roaming Training Services”.

Basically, they’re all just fancy ways of saying, “On-the-spot instruction tailored to specific needs”.

Roving Training is a 1 on 1 or very small group training session which is generally scheduled for short timeframe on a specific subject. 

Typically, these training sessions are structured by allocating time slots/appointments with individuals. The topics covered throughout the session do not have to be at the same level or software package.

Roving Training offers the benefit of immediate, hands-on support right where and when it’s needed, ensuring that learning is directly applicable and highly relevant to real-time challenges.

How Roving Training Works

In this example, Sarah, the office superhero has scheduled blocks of time for her colleagues. For instance, James is scheduled at 9:30am for half an hour to work on Pivot Tables. After James gets his Excel fix, the trainer visits Ellen at 10:00am for an hour to help solve a problem she is having with Photoshop. The trainer then continues visiting each person in the schedule, addressing their individual requirements.

Sarah also handles training during software upgrades and rollouts with one of our nifty tactics called floor walking. This involves the trainer roaming around the office to provide instant, on-the-spot support for any tech hiccups.

It’s like having a tech wizard who appears out of nowhere when you need them the most, no magic wand required, just a trainer with lots of expertise and a friendly smile!

Think of it as an intellectual day spa, with plenty of time to soak in each concept, from the fundamentals to the fine points. Your brain cells will thank you for the pampering!

With a full day dedicated to learning, participants can engage in extensive hands-on activities, workshops, and real-world applications.

You’ll have ample opportunity to tackle complex problems, ask questions, and even share a laugh or two as you work through exercises.

A standard training course takes around 6 hours, plus scheduled breaks to ensure everyone stays refreshed and ready to absorb more. We promise not to make you do jumping jacks during these breaks… unless you really want to.

The start time of the training is completely negotiable, but typically, the training time slot will be 9:00am – 4:00pm.

This turns the training day into an enjoyable and productive fun run rather than a sprint. Don’t worry, the only medals awarded will be for “Most Enthusiastic Learner”

Half Day Sessions

Half-Day Group Training Sessions offer a focused exploration of your chosen subject, providing a compact yet impactful experience that’s ideal for teams looking to dive into topics efficiently.

Think of it as an intellectual boost, with a concentrated dose of knowledge that’ll leave your brain feeling refreshed and invigorated. It’s like a shot of espresso for your mind, minus the jitters!

In this condensed learning sprint, participants engage in targeted hands-on activities, workshops, and real-world applications. It’s a mental obstacle course designed to challenge and stimulate without being overwhelming.

You’ll have the chance to tackle key problems, ask burning questions, and maybe even crack a few witty one-liners as you zip through exercises. After all, who said learning can’t be snappy and snazzy?

A standard training course takes around 3 hours to complete, which includes a short break at the halfway point. Don’t worry, we won’t make you solve riddles to earn your break—unless that’s part of the training, of course!

The start time of the training is completely negotiable but typically, the training time slot will either be 9:00 am – 12:00 pm or 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm. Whether you’re an early bird or a post-lunch learner, we’ve got you covered.

Off the Shelf Courses

Off-the-Shelf Training is like walking into a bookstore and picking out the perfect novel, it’s ready to go and has been vetted for quality.

These pre-designed courses are packed with tried-and-tested content, so you can dive right into learning without any fuss.

Whether you’re tackling Microsoft Office, Adobe Creative Cloud, or any other major software, these courses are designed to cover the essentials with a dash of flair.

Just as how you wouldn’t need to re-write a bestselling novel, you don’t need to re-invent the wheel with these training options.

They’re perfect for when you want solid, no-nonsense learning that’s ready when you are.

Customised Training

Customised Training is the tailor-made suit of the training world.

Think of it as the Gucci suit of the learning world — bespoke, fitted, and perfectly aligned with what you need.

It’s all about designing a training experience that’s as unique as your organisation.

Just like a custom suit is made to fit every curve and seam, customised training is crafted to address specific challenges, industry nuances, and skill gaps within your team.

Our training is modular, so you can mix and match like a fashionista, choosing from a selection of existing topics, or we can work with you to develop something specific to your organisation. Either way, we are on hand for advice on the best way to structure your customised training course.
