Photoshop CC Getting Started is a 2 day live online course, taught by one of the UK's leading Adobe Certified Instructors with over 20 years experience using Adobe's design tools.
About this course
Over two days you will learn to understand all about resolution and colour modes. You will create accurate selections in Photoshop, work with layers, create transparency masks and make complex adjustments with a variety of tools.
This course is aimed at users with little or no experience of Photoshop. Attendees will often include graphic designers, photographers, marketing and comms professionals, medical and forensic imaging specialists as well as others.
You should be computer literate, and comfortable with standard operating system functionality such as copy and paste or opening new files. As the course is a live online course, you will need a machine with Photoshop installed, and a stable internet connection. For the best experience we also recommend a headset and a second monitor, although the course can be completed without these.
This course is taught on the latest version of Photoshop by Andy Gardiner, an Adobe Certified Instructor with over 20 years experience. In addition to holding Adobe Certified Expert and Adobe Certified Instructor status on Photoshop, Andy is also an Adobe Certified Design Master and a CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer.
Upon receiving your request you will be contacted by one of our training advisors, who will be able to answer any questions you have. They will advise on upcoming course dates, as well as other options such as private team training if appropriate.
The course runs as a regular scheduled live online course, meaning you can attend from your own desk, whilst getting a fully interactive experience in which you can chat with the instructor. It can also be delivered as a private course for groups, either online or face to face.
Yes, we offer private courses either face to face or live online. These are popular for small teams of between 3 and 10 people.
Yes, you will receive a certificate of completion to confirm you have undertaken the course.
