Mark Finney
Co-Founder / Facilitator
Hi, I’m Mark Finney, one of the Co-Founders and lead trainer at Keystroke Learning.
We’re a technology education hub with a bit of a geeky love for tech and coffee!
I wear many hats! I design and deliver courses on a variety of software from Microsoft, Adobe, and even create eLearning materials. Whether it’s in the classroom or behind the scenes, I’m passionate about helping others learn and grow.
My love affair with tech training started in the age of floppies, and over 30 years later, the passion hasn’t faded! Witnessing those “Eureka!” moments when clients realise they’ve saved hours is the ultimate reward, like finding a hidden treasure chest in the digital world.

What Motivates Us?
We live for those ‘Ah ha!’ moments, you know, when the digital fog lifts and you suddenly realise that your computer hasn’t been plotting against you this whole time. These moments of tech enlightenment are the heart and soul of our training.
There’s a special joy in seeing the smile spread across someone’s face when we reveal time-saving tricks. It’s like watching someone discover they’ve had a secret superpower all along, only instead of flying, they can now format an entire document in record time. Our passion lies in empowering people to tackle complex tasks with less stress and even a sense of enjoyment.
Nothing brings us more satisfaction than hearing the words, “You just saved me hours!” It’s music to our ears, more pleasing than a crashed program miraculously recovering your work.
This phrase never loses its impact, and it’s the driving force behind our continuous learning, research, and innovative thinking. It’s more than just a job for us, it’s about making a positive difference in how people work and interact with technology. Plus, it gives us a great excuse to keep buying new gadgets for “research purposes.”
Your team deserves more “Aha!” moments.
Book Brendon or Mark for in-house or online training and give
your staff the confidence to tackle any digital challenge.
