What is the course

What is the Visual Storytelling programme?

Visual storytelling connects images, text and sequence to help an audience understand a situation, follow a message and recognise the intended next step.

This programme helps participants shape workplace information into a visual narrative. They define the audience and message, develop a story structure, choose relevant imagery and organise layouts so the viewer can follow the meaning. Practical exercises cover presentations, communication campaigns and learning content, with attention to accessibility, accurate representation and responsible image use.

UnderstandAudience, message and narrative structure

ApplyImagery, hierarchy and visual sequencing

ImproveClarity, accessibility and audience relevance

Is this right for your team

Is this built for your team?

For teams that need to communicate ideas with visuals and want a consistent process for planning and reviewing the story.

Ideal for teams who:
  • Need to explain ideas through images and a clear narrative
  • Want more focused presentations and communication campaigns
  • Need to turn dense workplace information into a visual story
  • Want practical ways to review clarity and audience relevance
Another course may be better if:
  • You are looking for a public, open-enrolment course
  • You need specialist graphic-design or filmmaking certification
  • You mainly need advanced illustration or software tuition
  • You need an agency to produce finished creative assets

6Can you deliver virtually?

Yes. We offer flexible delivery options, including onsite, virtual, or a blended approach, depending on your needs.

7Who is this course suitable for?

Marketing, communications, learning and development, managers and project teams can attend. It is also relevant to colleagues who review and approve visual messages.

8Do participants need graphic-design experience?

No formal design qualification is required. The course focuses on message clarity, narrative and purposeful visual choices. Simple drafts are sufficient for the learning exercises.

9Do you provide course materials?

Every participant receives a learner’s guide, a course workbook, digital resources and handouts. We do not provide PowerPoint slides for this course.

10Will participants receive a certificate?

Yes. Each participant receives a Certificate of Completion from Knowles Training Institute.

11How far in advance should we book?

We recommend three to four weeks, which allows time for a needs discussion and customisation. We can often accommodate shorter timelines.

12How does this differ from a storyboarding course?

Visual storytelling focuses on communicating meaning through narrative, imagery, text and layout across channels. Storyboarding focuses more specifically on planning a sequence of panels and production notes. This course may use a simple sequence as a planning aid.

13Do you offer multi-course or annual training plans?

Yes. We build annual learning roadmaps and multi-course programmes, with preferential rates for larger commitments.

14What is the investment for a corporate programme?

Fees depend on the course, number of participants and delivery mode. Contact us for a customised proposal based on your specific needs.

15Do participants need specialist design software?

Specialist software is not required for the core planning and review techniques. Discuss your preferred tools during the needs conversation so practical arrangements can be agreed.

16How can we apply the learning after the course?

Use the planning process on an upcoming communication brief. Define the intended takeaway, draft the visual story and ask colleagues to review clarity and interpretation before publication.

17Can we bring our own communication materials?

Yes. A suitable presentation, campaign draft or message brief can make practice more relevant. Agree the example and handling of any confidential material before delivery.

18Will the course cover accessibility and responsible image use?

Participants check readability, visual interpretation, representation and image permissions when reviewing a draft. Organisation-specific approval or accessibility requirements can be discussed during customisation.

19How do we get started?

Send us an enquiry with your goals, team size and preferred dates, and we will respond with a tailored proposal.

20Who can we speak to for a detailed proposal?

Contact our corporate training team at [email protected] and we will arrange a discussion.
