Inclusive by design
Training created for every kind of brain
Technical training moves quickly – new ribbons, new features, new ways of working. That is exactly why every Keys Training Microsoft course is built for different types of learners, including neurodivergent attendees and people with disabilities, so nobody is left behind at the keyboard.
Whether someone has dyslexia, ADHD, autism, a hearing or visual impairment, or simply learns best by doing rather than watching, our trainers adapt the pace, the screen and the exercises to the people in the room – on-site or remote.
Every course has been assessed by accessibility experts to make sure it is accessible and beneficial for all.
01
Hands-on, not lecture
Everyone works on their own machine, step by step. Skills are built by doing Microsoft Office tasks, not by trying to remember a demo.
02
Screen-friendly delivery
Zoomed-in demonstrations, high-contrast views and live captions on remote sessions, so every click is easy to follow.
03
Paced to the room
Small groups with regular catch-up points – the trainer does not move on until every screen matches theirs.
04
Guides that work afterwards
Plain-language step guides and practice files, available in alternative formats on request, so people can revisit at their own speed.
