Adobe Courses in Birmingham
The Adobe Courses in Birmingham combine various pieces of Creative Cloud including our InDesign-Photoshop-Illustrator-Premier Pro Training courses.
We host our onsite Adobe Courses in Birmingham and the surrounding areas as well as UK wide. We also provide virtual online Adobe Training sessions with a live instructor.
We offer set courses ranging from Introduction through to Advanced but our specialism is tailored Adobe Training. The options are numerous but together with you we can put together course content that you really need to cover as opposed to sitting through content surplus to you.
To make it easy we call it cherry picking and the best place to start is by getting in touch with us.
As well as Onsite training we also offer online Adobe Training Course sessions held with a live instructor in a virtual classroom or the trainer comes directly out to you and delivers the training face to face.
How does tailored Adobe Training work?
Our courses start and end with you and once you’ve got in touch with us we organise an online meeting. During this we discuss your aspirations for the course, what you need to do to progress your learning and the actual content to be covered.
Don’t worry that’s not cast in stone, our courses often veer off tangent and look at things like modern design, typography, latest cameras the photography show etc etc
An online meeting also gives you the opportunity to meet your trainer prior to the course and organise any logistics involved.
We find this makes the course run smoothly for everyone involved.
Who is this Adobe Training Course for?
It is perfect for small business owners looking to bring their design inhouse. This course will teach you how to create your own marketing materials, brochures /newsletters and design your own social media posts.
It is also ideal for companies wishing to upskill their staff and private individuals who need to be more involved in the design flow of their roles.
This course is flexible and the course content is only given as a guide but we are happy to adapt the course to your needs & create a completely tailored Adobe Training Course for you and your staff.
During the course you will learn the same techniques and features used by professional designers for high quality design. The course is available both as an Online Adobe Course or Onsite Adobe Training and is ideal for company groups or 121 sessions.
Over the years we have delivered this training to graphic designers, artworkers, administrators, bid writers, construction, photographers – probably its more a question of who we haven’t trained rather than who we have.
How do Online Adobe Training Courses work?
This is also delivered as an Online Adobe Training Course hosted with a virtual live instructor. You will have direct live contact with your instructor throughout the whole of your course both via video and sharing screens in real time.
Our Online Adobe Training Courses are available on any time zone so we can offer 24 hour availability and over the weekend.
We run our online training sessions via the most popular video conferencing software including Zoom, Teams, Google and WebEx. It’s your choice which video conferencing software you prefer.
You will have direct contact with your Trainer throughout the duration of the course via video and audio link in real time and be in contact visually and audibly throughout the whole time.
We are happy to record your training session for you to refer back to after the training.
Added Bonus about Online Adobe Training Courses
An added bonus of our online courses is there’s no travel involved meaning less stress on the planet so environmentally it makes great sense.
No fighting traffic or public transport just get up, have tea /coffee and something to eat, turn on the computer and we’ll be there ready to deliver your course.
Online InDesign Training is also available in short bite-size sessions (2 hours /4 hours /half days) or if preferred courses can be split into two sessions over different days. We also offer weekend and night time courses for clients outside the UK time zone.
If you have any questions about Online Adobe Training please do not hesitate to pick up the phone, send an email or find out more about online training here.
What else do I need to know about this training?
The course content is five days, two days with Photoshop, two days with InDesign with the last one dedicated to Illustrator but we are happy to run it in any order for 121 sessions and company courses. You can also swop out courses for any others on the Greta Powell website. So if you fancy doing a Premier Pro Course and not an Illustrator then we can change it for you to create a tailored Adobe MasterClass Course.
