Illustrator masterclass and Adobe certified

This Illustrator masterclass & Adobe certified professional training course is designed for those who are either new to Illustrator or have some experience and seek professional guidance to understand Illustrator at an advanced level.

Our experienced training instructors will be there to assist you in preparing for the Adobe Certified Professional exam on the final day.

Our accelerated learning format allows you to digest more information whilst making it more memorable. The emphasis is on how the brain works. The most important factor about a training course is what you remember afterwards, and that's our number one focus.

You’ll begin by getting to grips with the Illustrator interface before learning about shapes, infographics and other standard features. You’ll then progress to the advanced features like workflows, compound paths and raster effects.  

Our experienced training instructors will be with you to help you undertake the Adobe certification exam. Afterwards, if you pass, you can publicise your accreditation with Adobe digital badges, which provide a standardised certification outcome.

You must take the exam on a non-work (home) computer using a browser (Chrome, EDGE, or Safari) connected to your home broadband connection (no VPN). You don't need Adobe software installed to take the exam. The exam is delivered in Windows mode, but since you're connecting via a browser, it doesn't matter if you're a Windows or MacOS user.

What to expect from this course

The first two training days will focus on starter features, including shapes, logos, and basic infographics. Days three and four are targeted toward more advanced features like workflows, custom brushes, transparency, etc. Day five will be focused on the certification exam, with the first half dedicated to exam preparation before sitting the exam.

You’ll leave the training course with a solid understanding of Illustrator and the confidence to create logos, workflows, shapes, and more.
