Master the essentials of Photoshop on this Cambridgeshire course
Professional Adobe Photoshop training across Cambridge and Cambridgeshire designed for teams, small businesses and individuals. It’s either hosted onsite at your premises or live online via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet, allowing your team to learn wherever they are based.
Because every organisation uses Photoshop differently, our courses are designed around real tasks and workflows rather than a rigid training overview. This means your team learns the tools, techniques, and shortcuts that will help them work faster and produce better results in their day-to-day projects.
Flexible Training Options to Fit Your Needs
Whether you want a comprehensive introduction or quick, targetted skills for your team we offer three distinct training formats across Cambridge and online.
- A Standard Adobe Introduction Course which is best for: Individuals and teams who want a thorough, structured foundation. This has a step-by-step course overview covering all core tools, layers, selections, and essential workflows from scratch.
- Bespoke & Tailored Photoshop Training best for: Companies with specific project goals or unique branding pipelines. These are private sessions customised entirely around your own images, assets, and business requirements moving completely at your team’s pace.
- Virtual Online Short Sessions (Mini-Tutorials) which are best for: Busy teams who need fast, actionable skills without taking a full day out of the office. These are bite sized, live online modules concentrating on specific topics like quick image editing, social media marketing graphics, advanced retouching, or fast production workflows.

Why use Greta Powell for your course?
Meet Greta, less jargon, more tea and stacks of experience
I’ve always believed the best way to learn Photoshop isn’t from a manual it’s by getting stuck into real projects. I talk a lot in real life (useful or useless depending on who you ask), and I bring that same energy into my sessions across the Cambridgeshire region.
I’ve been working with Adobe software since the early days of Photoshop, right through to today’s Firefly‑powered AI tools. That experience means I can explain the “why” behind the software, not just the buttons.
I don’t just train; I translate complex, sometimes intimidating tools into simple, practical workflows you can use immediately. My workshops are relaxed, hands‑on real‑world imagery sometimes even photos we snap together on the day and always fuelled by far too much tea.
Most of all, I want you to leave feeling confident, capable and maybe even a little bit excited about what you can create.
