Who Should Attend: Designers, pre-press professionals, production managers, Web designers and anyone who wishes to master the Creative Suite should attend this class. Special attention is paid to keyboard shortcuts, automating workflow and special effects techniques.

Prerequisites: Because of the amount of material we cover in class, 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. This class is designed for the beginner level and no prior experience is necessary.

What You Will Learn: All Sterling Ledet and Associates’ classes are led by industry professionals with real-world experience and proper credentials. In this course each individual instructor will incorporate real-world experience with strategic learning techniques to teach a variety of skills in this product suite.

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. Please double-check the location of your class with our office to make sure you get to the right location.
