Where & When

Corporate 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.

Open courses

We currently do not run open courses.

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 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 (desirable, but not essential)

That’s all.

Oh, and enthusiasm. BYO enthusiasm.

We’ll bring everything else.

Storyline Training sessions run at various lengths. Quick Start and Pro Kit are one-day courses. Power Launch is two days.

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.

Group Training

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. Ten (10) is the maximum limit for group Storyline Training sessions.

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 ten, the benefits of expert guidance diminish.

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

No!

In fact, the great individual attention given to each participant in smaller groups can make them a very appealing way to go.

With Storyline Training’s flat fee per course, you’re free to balance the price-per-participant with the benefit of more personalised training and one-on-one opportunities.

Course Content

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, including a printed manual and digital assets
  • 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
  • developers who are looking to switch to Storyline from another e-learning authoring tool, such as Adobe Captivate or Lectora
  • 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.

  • Storyline 1
