Adobe Photoshop Elements Training Course On-site and Online

PhotoShop Elements Training Course

This one-day Photoshop Elements course incorporates all the tools and features in the image editing software, and provides you with the knowledge that you need to get started manipulating photographic raster images. And, if you have already upgraded to PhotoShop Elements 2023 or later you can even learn to use new creative features such as animating an object within an image and explore the new web version of Elements.

Our PhotoShop courses are taught on the Creative Cloud subscription version, and for Mac or Windows operating systems. Courses are delivered on-site at your workplace or as live virtual classroom for small groups of up to 10 delegates.

PhotoShop Elements Training Course Prerequisites

In order to attend this course you don't need any prior knowledge of Adobe PhotoShop Elements, but should be familiar with using a keyboard and a mouse. If your learners already have some self-taught experience with PhotoShop but feel more comfortable starting from scratch that's fine too.

Intended Audience

This course is aimed at individuals and groups who need to improve their PhotoShop design and image editing skills for purposes such as:

• Desktop Publishing
• Photography
• Graphic Design
• Web Design
• Advertising and Marketing
• Corporate Literature and Branding

Live Virtual Classroom Photoshop Elements Courses

If you'd rather that your team learns remotely, these small-group Photoshop courses are also available as live virtual, interactive sessions from the comfort of your own office or workplace. These live instructor-led courses are taught via MS Teams video conferencing.

Why choose virtual learning? As we've all become used to Online learning (and live virtual meetings) it is clear that virtual classroom delivery has some advantages over traditional face-to-face learning.

If you're looking for local training, then you can't get closer to your doorstep than you can with virtual learning.

Our virtual learning PhotoShop courses cater for classes of up to 10 and your learners benefit from full and immersive interaction with the trainer just as if they were in the classroom with you, with engaging hands-on training via advanced live video conferencing that is enriched by features such as live chat, private chat, and sharing screens and documents.

These Adobe PhotoShop training courses are conducted at your workplace for small groups. You should aim to book at least a month in advance and we can attend anywhere in the UK mainland (for overseas requirements, please enquire).

What's the difference between Adobe Creative Cloud and Creative Suite?

Adobe Creative Cloud is Adobe's platform of Cloud-based creative design and desktop publishing apps and tools (such as PhotoShop, Indesign, Illustrator and so forth) which is a subscription-based service for both the All Apps "CC for Teams" suite and for individual apps.

Adobe Creative Suite is Adobe's legacy suite of desktop publishing apps. Old timers will recall that it was licensed with a traditional EULA and the software was physically installed from a disk.

These days, our Adobe courses are delivered on Creative Cloud.
