Why Bring Your Own Laptop?
Personal Comfort and Efficiency
Working on your own laptop means you’ll be instantly familiar with your keyboard layout and system preferences. No need to spend 20 minutes figuring out why the volume button is launching the calculator instead. This familiarity allows you to focus entirely on learning new skills rather than wondering why someone set the desktop background to dancing hamsters.
Access to Your Complete Work Environment
Your laptop comes with your personal setup of applications, customised settings, and existing files. Think of it as bringing your digital home with you, minus the dirty dishes in the sink. This means you can immediately apply what you learn to your real work documents and seamlessly integrate new skills into your daily workflow.
Practical Setup
During the training, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds, your personal laptop connected to our professional training setup. Each workspace is equipped with a 27-inch monitor (perfect for those who squint at their phones even with reading glasses), full-size USB-A keyboard, and USB-A mouse.
Software Accessibility
With your own laptop, you’ll have immediate access to your licensed software and saved preferences. This is particularly important for applications where having your existing login credentials readily available ensures a smooth training experience. No need to remember that complex password you created after your third coffee of the day.
Don’t Have A Laptop?
No problem! We’ll provide a fully equipped laptop for your training session. Contact us in advance, and we’ll make sure you’re ready to go. We promise it won’t be running Windows XP – remember those days?
Bring Your Enthusiasm!

EXCELLENT Based on 141 reviews Mike K2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the Excel Intermediate and Advanced training with Mark and I had a great experience. The course took a great holistic approach to covering the different aspects of Excel and Mark also took time to show how different elements of the program could be useful in my role specifically, spending longer on the parts of the program that were necessary for me. With a promise of lifetime support, giving me the ability to reach out at any point where I continue to be a bit stuck with Excel, I am very happy with my choice to train with Keystroke Roslyn Mujkanovic2025-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Articulate Storyline Introduction training course with Brendon Farrell was very informative and beneficial to my role as learning designer. Brendan was very helpful throughout the training and provided us with useful tips that we can apply to enhance the learning experience for our staff. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an introduction into Articulate Storyline. S Gon2025-03-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed an Excel course with Brendon, and he was excellent. His knowledge and clear explanations made the material easy to understand. I've already been able to put what I learned into practice. I'm very pleased I took this course and highly recommend it. Kamil Rutkiewicz2025-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had the opportunity to participate in the *Techsmith Camtasia Introduction* course offered by Keystroke Learning, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. The course provided an excellent foundation for understanding the fundamentals of the software, its uses, and its applications. The real-world example used in the training allowed me to grasp how a project is composed, and I also gained a deeper understanding of the necessary methodology and ways of thinking that are crucial for approaching a personal project. The course clearly emphasized the rules and processes that can be applied to real-world scenarios, making it incredibly practical and relevant. The instructor, Mark Finney, was outstanding. His extensive knowledge and firsthand experience with Camtasia in real-world applications truly set this course apart from others. It was clear that Mark wasn't simply reciting information; he was sharing valuable insights from his own experience, which added immense value to the course. I particularly appreciated the time and effort Mark dedicated to thoroughly explaining each step of the process and his willingness to answer any questions posed by the class. His proactive approach in encouraging participation from everyone in the course helped ensure a high level of engagement and a deeper understanding of the material. I highly recommend Keystroke Learning to anyone interested in mastering Camtasia or any other software they offer. The ongoing support provided by Mark and Keystroke is also a huge asset, especially as we plan to implement Camtasia in my own workplace. Knowing I have a reliable resource to turn to for further assistance is invaluable. Thank you, Keystroke Learning, for a fantastic learning experience—I look forward to exploring more courses with you in the future. Sophia Buksh2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark Finney is a great facilitator/trainer. It was very insightful and well-structured. He explained concepts clearly, provided practical examples and ensured the session was engaging. I feel more confident using Power BI now. Yinny C2024-12-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently completed a one-on-one Excel training course for beginners, and I'm so glad I did! Despite being the only student, the instructor graciously accepted my application and provided personalized attention throughout the course. As someone who's been rusty with Excel for many years, this course was a fantastic refresher. The instructor made the learning process easy, interactive, and engaging. I appreciated the many valuable tips and tricks I learned along the way, which I wasn't aware of before. This course has been incredibly beneficial in preparing me for my next job. I feel much more confident in my ability to work with Excel. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to improve their Excel skills, whether you're a beginner or just need a refresher. -Linda Roberto Falcone2024-12-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ive had numerous training modules with Brendan and Mark, and they are excellent. They know their stuff, teach in practical way, and are always willing to provide additional information during training. John Grainger2024-11-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very good introductory course on Articulate Storyline. Was great to get the fundamentals and will be very keen to complete the intermediate and advanced courses. Tony Baron2024-10-30Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
