FAQs about the Photoshop Introduction course
Is this Photoshop Introduction course suitable for me?
This course is designed for people who are new to Photoshop or have been using Photoshop for a while but have never had formal training or who would like to learn best practice in the fundamentals of Photoshop.
How is the content taught throughout the Photoshop Introduction course?
Our Photoshop Introduction 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 Introduction 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. If you prefer to attend remotely, rest assured that you will be taught live by the same experts that deliver our in-person courses, covering the same training content, using the same exercises and materials. A second monitor is recommended but not essential.
How many people are likely to be in the class when I attend the Photoshop Introduction course?
We have the smallest class sizes in the industry. On average there are 2 to 3 people on our Photoshop Introduction public courses. When we are oversubscribed, rather than put more people on the same course, we open up a new course date, which ensures everyone has maximum interaction with our trainer and the chance to ask questions throughout the day.
What support is available after I attend the Photoshop Introduction course?
We offer ongoing support to our Photoshop Introduction 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.
Will I receive a certificate upon completion of my Photoshop Introduction course?
Yes, you'll receive a certificate of completion from Transmedia, demonstrating your knowledge and attendance on our Photoshop Introduction course. Our certificates note our Authorised Training Centre status.
