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!

Our Clients
EXCELLENT Based on 129 reviews Nicholas Hughes2024-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark was a great instructor. Highly recommend using Keystroke for all your training needs. Adelaide MacRae2024-09-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic, easy to understand and well taught class. I attended a recent Adobe InDesign Training with Brendon after previous trainings with another organisation were cancelled. I work for a school, so I have to go through a fair process to get training approved, and their 'guaranteed to run' classes meant I didn't have to worry about the class actually happening. The class was really well structured, even with only two of us attending, and Brendan was happy to work with us to give whatever guidance was needed, relevant to our specific work. The class had plenty of breaks, with lot's of opportunities to chat or run downstairs for another coffee, or grab a nespresso from up the back of the room, which made it easy to feel comfortable with asking questions. The actual coursework was filled with tips and tricks that will make my work much faster and much more efficient in my day-to-day, as well as going over some technical info that will be helpful in understanding why InDesign works the way it does. The location is great, a short tram ride from the CBD, with ample paid parking around for about 20 bucks, which is great if public transport isn't an option. Overall I would recommend the Beginners InDesign course with Keystroke Learning wholeheartedly! whitney kingston2024-08-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Keystroke Learning provided wonderful learning opportunities with presenters that show a real depth of knowledge across a wide range of applications. Even if you have been working with Microsoft products extensively, you will still learn something you didn't know. kim dowler2024-08-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience and training program, I wish I had done this sooner. I will definitely be back! Tara McDonald2024-07-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An outstanding introduction to PowerBI created for any skill level or expertise of data management and reporting. The team at Keystroke Learning have nailed the ability to make technical content like creating your own Power BI reports engaging and interactive for all. The pace of the class, the resources provided during and post, as well as their fun energy makes it a great workshop for individuals looking for something new or groups looking to up-skill. Huge shout out to Mark for running an excellent session. Bronwyn Hobbs2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. fantastic learning experience. Well worth attending highly recommend Mark from keystroke learning Rowena Johnson2024-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I completed an Intermediate InDesign course with Brendon as the instructor. Brendon was an amazing instructor and I could tell how passionate and knowledgeable he is across all platforms. I would highly recommend KeyStroke to anyone who is interested in learning in depth any of the Adobe programs! Fabien Zanchi2024-06-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a very interesting meeting with Brendon and Mark at Keystrokelearning and the initial discussion went extremely well. Both came across as professional, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Our initial discussion was highly successful, and Brendon and Mark demonstrated remarkable professionalism, expertise, and approachability. I am confident that our goals and values align perfectly. This promising first step leaves me excited about the future possibilities, and I eagerly anticipate continuing our conversation. Maisie Blanck2024-05-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent training
