Professional Blended, Classroom, and Online Courses
London/York (UK), September 2010 - Software packages like Photoshop, Flash, and InDesign are becoming more and more complex with every version. Highlander, an authorised training centre in the UK, offers blended-learning courses on the Adobe product range.
Complex topics that are either difficult to grasp or which are the underlying foundations for other modules are covered in a classroom environment. Topics that are either less challenging or deal with specialist areas that not everybody needs are covered via online learning modules. This allows participants to access far more content than possible in a standard classroom-based course, and the cost is kept low.
The classroom-based modules are available at the London training centre, located at the Islington Business Design Centre, not far from Kings Cross station. In addition, a number of classes are offered from the training centre in York. For large groups, it is possible to hold on-site courses at a client's location.
The online modules are run via Highlander's learning-management system. They comprise a mixture of high-quality video presentations, sample and exercise files, instructor-led course forums, and much more. The video modules have been created by experienced instructors and go into niche features of the products that wouldn't normally get coverage in public classes. The exercise files can then be used to practice the techniques presented, and any problems or questions can be resolved by instructors via the course-support forums.
Highlander values continuous development: rather than ending the learning when you walk out of the classroom, blended-learning courses continue the classroom session momentum via the online learning module, resulting in better adoption of the techniques and skills learned.
Certification Bootcamps are unique to Highlander and are the best way to prepare for formal professional certification through the Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) exams.
