Storyline 360 Essentials 2-Day Workshop – Newcastle Upon Tyne

This is a beginner to intermediate-level training course designed for individuals who are new to Articulate Storyline 360 or have only limited experience using the software.

No prior experience with Storyline is required. However, to get the most out of the workshop, participants should:

• General IT skills and confidence using a Windows-based computer

• Have general experience using office or productivity software (e.g. PowerPoint, Word)

• Be comfortable with basic file and folder management (e.g. saving, renaming, and locating files)

If you’ve already built a few projects in Storyline and are looking to explore more advanced features like variables, JavaScript, and adaptive learning pathways, you may prefer to attend our Storyline 360 Advanced Skills course instead.
