Storyline Training

When do you want it?

In general, we work to your schedule.

Ready-to-run Storyline Training courses typically run during office hours, with enough versatility to ensure you’re well served.

If you need something beyond the norm, let us know.

Storyline Training sessions run on demand.

If you’re eager, you might be able to have one next week.

Get in touch. Let us know what you’re after. We’ll let you know the possibilities.

Storyline Training courses are costed for delivery at your preferred venue. Onsite at your office is easy. Or, you can book a venue you like better. Letting you control the venue is one way we continue to offer value.

If it’s more convenient for us to arrange an appropriate venue, let us know. We’ll add it in, easy done.

Our requirements are simple enough.

• A room that’s suitably sized for the group.
  (We don’t swing cats. We sometimes pretend to.)
• A projector and screen are handy.
  (We can book them on your behalf, if needed.)
• Power outlets are vital.
  (We need juice for fancy presentations. Learners need it so their computers stay on.)
• Internet access, please.
  (Wi-Fi or wired is fine.)

Most modern offices and events venues have them. Chances are, it’s all there already.

If you need help making arrangements, get in touch. Our technicians are handy folk.

Each learner needs a computer, pre-loaded with two apps:

• Articulate Storyline (licensed or trial version)
• Microsoft PowerPoint.

That’s all.

Oh, and enthusiasm. BYO enthusiasm.

We’ll bring everything else.

Storyline Training sessions run at various lengths. Quick Start is 5 hours. Power Launch is two 8-hour sessions. Pro Kit is a single 8-hour session.

You’ll see progress instantly.

Then, as learners start to put their new skills into practice, they’ll continue to develop the efficiency over time.

Sessions are completely hands-on. There is no sitting just listening to a trainer talk. We get straight into it from the get-go.

Your trainer will walk you through the topics step-by-step on a big screen. Participants follow on their computers, asking questions where required. Your trainer will check on you regularly and make sure everyone is going OK. They might even give you a chocolate bar.

Yes. Twelve (12) is the maximum limit that we recommend for group Storyline Training sessions.

Sure, we could go higher. We just don’t recommend it.

Our sessions aren’t lectures, they’re designed to be interactive and engaging. These are pretty intensive practical courses. Our in-the-room experience shows that once groups get beyond twelve, the benefits of expert guidance diminish.

Keep it to twelve or fewer and everyone has the best opportunity to get what they need.

Yes. …and not exactly.

Yes, Storyline Training recommends minimum sizes for group training.

For our top-shelf training to be viable (for us) and great value (for you), location is a factor. Presently, we operate out of Melbourne, so:

• if you’re in Melbourne and you’ve got a group of four (4) or more, we’re sitting pretty.
• if you’re in Sydney or Canberra and you’ve got a group of six (6) or more, we can do that easily and at good rates.
• if you’re somewhere else, get in touch—we’ll work something out for you.

Not exactly… because we can accommodate all sorts of requests.

It’s certainly possible.

Thing is, we design our courses with teams in mind. We set minimums so that our top-shelf training is viable at great value. Not all our services are listed in our price guide. We quote other services on a case-by-case basis. Often, one-on-one sessions can be cost-prohibitive on the client side. Experience shows, the amazing value we offer teams of four or more is much more likely to appeal.

Can’t put the minimum number through at the same time? Maybe you can team up with an aligned organisation to achieve economy of scale.

Storyline Training minimums are set so we can provide top quality training at great value.
We can train groups that are smaller, however the total cost will be about the same as it would be for the recommended minimum.
Given this, some organisations benefit from training people in internal support roles, while others team up with aligned organisations to boost numbers.

Knowledge is the main thing. Expansion of capability, made possible by having a genuine expert dedicated to your professional development.

Besides knowledge, all Storyline Training courses include:

• study materials
• multimedia presentations
• re-usable project templates
• a professional presenter.

Think something else should be included? Let us know! We’ll do our best.

The right course depends on what you want to achieve. It’s important to have a clear understanding of your current situation as well as your ideal end-point. We have ready-to-run options for:

• beginners aiming to get a grip on the basics
• beginners taking the first step to become a professional e-learning developer
• established practitioners looking to enhance their existing skill-set with advanced techniques.

Some teams are in a unique category and need something more than a ready-to-run course. You can get Storyline Training customised to meet your needs. If you’re not sure exactly what those needs are, you can get a Storyline Training needs analysis consultation to discover the best course of action.

We’ve been working with it since the beginning. We’ve been working on the most recent versions since before they were commercially released. That’s why our courses can be tailored to whichever version your team uses.

What sort of value are you after?
A common sense approach is to determine your training needs and then to meet those needs efficiently and effectively. Storyline Training can certainly help meet the need. If necessary, we can also help you determine your training needs. Above, under Customised Programs, we mention training needs analysis in the context of developing custom coursework, but it can also be a consultancy service in its own right. If you’re interested, get in touch.
Some people want to know how to get the best deal per learner. Storyline Training prices depend on number of enrolments. Each enrolment requires less outlay than the one before it. So, to get the best price per learner, enrol the maximum number of learners. Group enrolments of 12 learners get the greatest value per learner.

Full payment is required one week before the training starts. This ensures we can get all the materials to all the participants in time.

Teams wishing to cancel a scheduled course may do so at least one week before the training date to receive a full refund.

No refund will be issued when materials are delivered to participants before course commencement. Storyline Training will be happy to re-schedule your training to a more appropriate date, subject to availability.

We regularly write helpful articles and create video tutorials to which anyone can subscribe and view. We often get requests for tutorials on specific topics and we do our best to create them.

If you’re after more formal, get in touch. We can chat about your needs and get a training support plan in place.

Our Quick Start course can get one of your folks operating at a basic level in under a day. If you need something more advanced, or if you’d like it even sooner, you may be well-served to contract a developer for your project.

Storyline Developer will sort you out.

They’re our sister-company. We share experts.
