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?
For PowerPoint sessions, participants may bring their own presentations. The workshop covers the essentials with sample files, but enhancing your own slides during the course helps you put the skills into practice straight away.
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.
After successfully finishing the course, participants will receive a PDF Certificate of Completion via email, provided that we have received their details.
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 course, we can’t offer that place to someone else. Therefore, we need to put a limit on changes and cancellations.
Cancelling the Course:
- 5+ business days before start date: No fee
- 1-5 business days before start date: 25% of course fee
Transferring to Another Date
- One reschedule request allowed per booking
- 5+ business days before start date: No fee
- 1-5 business days before start date: 25% of course fee (in addition to course fee)
All requests must be must be provided to Keystroke Learning via e-mail at [email protected].
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.
