Adobe Captivate Training Course

 

Adobe Captivate 3.0
Duration: 2 days
Adobe Captivate

Course Synopsis: This Adobe certified Adobe Captivate training class provides students with the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to develop and build software demonstrations and interactive eLearning simulations . In addition to learning key concepts, students also learn best practices for creating and publishing Captivate projects. 

Who Should Attend: This course is for beginning and intermediate Captivate users who want to create software demonstrations and interactive simulations. Captivate appeals to a wide variety of audiences, typically grouped in training and education, sales and marketing, or technical support and documentation.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in the workshop, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class.

What You Will Learn:
• Recording a Demonstration
• Editing a Demonstration
• Working with Objects in the Timeline

Time: Class time is 9:00 a.m.- 4:00 p.m. Breaks are scheduled throughout the day and lunch is typically scheduled 12-1. Students provide their own lunch.

Locations: We have company-operated facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Denver, San Diego and Washington DC. We also work with a network of rental facilities to offer our classes regularly across the United States and in Canada.
