FAQs about the Photoshop Advanced course

Is this Photoshop Advanced course suitable for me?

This course is designed for people who have experience in Photoshop or have already attended one of our Photoshop training courses or who would like to further their knowledge of best practice in the use of Photoshop.

How is the content taught throughout the Photoshop Advanced course?

Our Photoshop Advanced course is extremely interactive. You will be using Photoshop throughout the day, working through examples and live projects under the guidance of our trainer, who will be supporting you through each step.

Should I attend the Photoshop Advanced course in person or live online?

For in-person courses at our London training centre, you will receive a warm personal welcome, your choice of the latest Mac or PC and morning and afternoon refreshments.

How many people are likely to be in the class when I attend the Photoshop Advanced course?

We have the smallest class sizes in the industry. On average there are 2 to 3 people on our Photoshop Advanced public courses.

What support is available after I attend the Photoshop Advanced course?

We offer ongoing support to our Photoshop Advanced course attendees through email and by arrangement, phone calls. You are welcome to ask any questions on topics covered during training. Our trainer will always do their best to explain principles and help you with any issues you encounter.
