Adobe Training Courses

Our Adobe courses are designed to help people at all skill levels. We have courses aimed at those who have little or no experience in Adobe applications, as well as classes for those who have a lot. Many of our clients are either self taught or know they would benefit from a real insight into best practise. Our highly experienced tutors are all practising professionals in their field and are only too happy to teach best industry practise alongside advanced techniques for those who need them. Whether you're new to Adobe applications or looking to refresh your knowledge, our training provides a step-by-step approach to mastering the tools.

Our Adobe courses are available in various formats: classroom-based sessions, live online sessions, or for private courses, teaching in your own corporate offices, at a time and with an agenda of your own choosing. Our expert instructors are all highly skilled in the Adobe products you use. For example, our Premiere Pro and After Effects trainers have worked on countless videos, editing and applying titling animations and special effects. Our Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign trainers have worked as professional graphic designers for many years, all to the benefit of our clients who can be assured they are learning the skills used in design studios every day. And they are all here to help you learn.

Course durations vary depending on the topic and format. The video and graphic design courses such as Photoshop, InDesign and Premiere Pro, are usually two days. Some, such as Acrobat, Firefly and Express are one day. When you book a private course, we will recommend a duration to match your learning requirements but the choice is always yours.

Yes, all participants in Adobe product classes receive a Transmedia certificate of completion, which can be a valuable addition to your professional portfolio.

For live sessions, instructors are available to answer questions in real time. Don't be shy - our tutors are always delighted when attendees ask questions during the course and the answers they give will often be helpful to other attendees. After the course, we provide unlimited support on all topics covered during training, via email or a phone call. If you have very specific questions on a current project, we can offer you a private consultancy session - just ask your account manager for help.

Our Adobe training courses cover a comprehensive range of applications, including Photoshop for image editing, Illustrator for vector graphics, InDesign for publishing, Premiere Pro for video editing, After Effects for motion graphics and Adobe XD for UX/UI design. We also offer training in Acrobat Pro for document management, Adobe Firefly for generative AI tools, Adobe Express for social media content creation and Dreamweaver for web development.

Many of our courses are a great preparation for taking the Adobe Certified Professional exams. If you are interested in a course tailored to passing a specific Adobe exam, please ask our customer service for more information.

Yes, we offer both beginner and advanced Adobe courses live online. These are live virtual sessions led by the same expert instructors who teach our classroom-based classes. You'll receive exactly the same personal attention and support as when you come to our training centre.

Yes you can. Just book a private course, and we'll work with you in advance to pinpoint topics from the different applications that would comprise a course to match your needs.

The answer depends on your job! If you're a graphic designer and photo artist, we would recommend Photoshop for photo editing and digital painting, or Illustrator if your job is more oriented to logos, icons and vector design. Pure Photographers should consider Lightroom for organising and batch-editing of photographs. For video editors, Premiere Pro is the industry-standard for editing video content of any kind. If you are an animator or visual graphics artist, then After Effects is the essential tool for animations, motion graphics and VFX. Web designers and UI/UX professionals should choose Adobe XD - it's lightweight, easy to learn and focused on user interface and experience. Editors, writers and sub-editors, plus anyone working on print or layout design would find InDesign ideal for producing books, magazines, flyers and brochures.

Adobe Certified Professional is the industry-recognised certification, popular with those pursuing digital media careers, who want to prove their mastery of Adobe Creative Cloud software. Exams are integrated with an Adobe application, allowing for an authentic assessment of job-ready skills. Each exam consists of 30 to 35 questions, taken over 50 minutes. Exams are available for After Effects, Animate, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop and Premiere Pro. The Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) programme still exists but has been scaled back by Adobe, applying to the enterprise users of Adobe's marketing and business solutions. It also covers Captivate, ColdFusion and Firefly.

No, there are no pre-requisites. The more formal and informal learning programmes you attend and on-the-job practical experience you have, the more likely you are to pass. More information about certification can be found at https://learning.adobe.com/certification.html

There are useful video-based learning programmes available but at Transmedia, we specialise in live learning with an expert tutor. Here, you can ask your own questions and benefit from the answers to questions asked by others, as well as from our trainers' extensive industry experience. You can still learn from the comfort of your own home or office with our Live Remote option, via Teams or Zoom.

As an Adobe Certified Professional, you'll get an official certificate from Certiport and a digital badge that you can add to your portfolio, website, CV, LinkedIn profile and email signature. This provides tangible proof of your skills that you can showcase to potential employers or clients and help you differentiate yourself from other candidates. From the hiring perspective, Adobe certifications allow an employer to quickly assess a job candidate's digital design skills and businesses can choose to invest in and promote their employees by paying for their Adobe certified Certifications.
