Adobe Training Curriculum

Please note: Each class is unique, and we do not guarantee that all topics mentioned on our course outlines will be covered in every class. It's our philosophy that to a large degree, participants get maximum value from a class when they are well prepared for the experience, and have access to the software they were instructed on in order to practice post-training. Participants are encouraged to communicate their primary objectives on our pre-class questionnaire. We do not guarantee that all objectives on the questionnaire will be covered, and refunds are not available if a particular objective is not met. Please view our retake policy on our FAQ page.

Flash CS4/CS5: ActionScript (Flash II) - 3 Day Class ($1395)

Course Description

(Note: This class is taught with Flash CS4/CS5. Flash CS4/CS5 is considerably different from Flash CS3 and so the class will best suit students that have Flash CS4/CS5 or plan to upgrade to Flash CS4/CS5.)

Flash CS4/CS5 ActionScript 3 offers significant leaps over its predecessor, ActionScript 2. With the new version of ActionScript, developers will find a faster runtime environment, better debugging, a consistent method for handling events, and an improved framework of classes for development.

In this course we will explore best practices when developing rich Flash applications, review important concepts such as syntax, object oriented programming, animating with ActionScript, and controlling objects using the keyboard.

We will also take a detailed look at several classes in the ActionScript 3 class library. Each of these classes will allow us to quickly add rich and robust functionality to our Flash applications. Once you complete the class you’ll have a strong understanding of ActionScript 3 and develop a Flash version of the popular game Asteroids.

Performance-Based Objectives

After completing this course, you should be able to:
Create variables
Manipulate Symbols
Organize your code using Object Oriented paradigms
Manipulate the Flash Document Object Model
Write event handlers that react to keyboard and mouse movement
Enhance your applications through the use of ActionScript class libraries
Read and parse XML
Programmatically animate objects on screen using a physics model

Dreamweaver: Website Develepment - 3 Day Class ($1395)

Description
Adobe Dreamweaver Website Development is a 3 day course that provides
web designers with the knowledge and hands-on practice they need to
build and manage professional web sites using industry standard for
professional web development and design. This class introduces the
student to the fundamentals of Dreamweaver with an emphasis on best
practices and current web standards.

Prerequisites: This is an introductory-to-intermediate class for students that: 1) have never used the software, or 2) students that have some limited experience with the software but are not comfortable using it, don't understand why what they do is or isn't working and want the benefit of an Adobe Certified Instructor to clarify and build a solid foundation of understanding, or 3) students that have worked in an earlier version of the software but need a solid orientation in the features of the current version. Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make every reasonable effort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.

Captivate 4 Beyond the Essentials (Advanced) - 3 Day Class

Description

This course is for advanced Captivate users who would like to create software demonstrations and interactive simulations. Captivate appeals to a wide variety of audiences, typically grouped in training and education, sales and marketing, or technical support and documentation.

Picking up where Captivate 4 (Comprehensive introduction) left off, you will quickly learn Captivate's higher-end functionality while improving your production skills via project templates, design templates, advanced actions and scripts. You will learn to collaborate with team members via Captivates' powerful commenting features. You'll enhance your users experience via variables that will make it seem like each eLearning lesson you produce has been customized for and is talking directly to your customer.

Course length
Three days (Note: Onsite Captivate classes usually entail a certain degree of customization and the 3rd day may be spent addressing customer goals.)

Prerequisites: Captivate 4 (Intro), or equivalent. Because of the amount of material we cover in class, we do require students to be comfortable using
a mouse, opening and saving files, and the general operations of computers. While we will make
every reasonable eff ort to help, students with insufficient skills may be required to observe the class
lessons or do their best to keep up without slowing down the rest of the class. We highly recommend
working with the application tutorial before coming to the course.

Advanced Digital Photography: for Corporations, Government, Law Enforcement, and Military

3-Day Master Class, Onsite delivery only: $1284 per student up to 6 students. (50% surcharge for one-on-one.) Beyond 6 students contact us for pricing. (3-student minimum enrollment for non-government customers. Government customers please see our GSA Schedule).

Prerequisites: Students must have a digital camera with manual adjustments, and some experience taking pictures. Students should be somewhat familiar with Adobe Photoshop's tools and features, or have taken the Photoshop Intro class. Knowledge of shutter speed and f:stop would be helpful but are not required as we will be discussing those issues at length during the course.

Course intent: This class is designed for students that have to produce the highest quality photographs possible with their equipment, and while having some limited experience want to be able to achieve excellent photographs for assignments, documentation, print, or web. During the class the fundamentals of photography will be reviewed with emphasis on digital workflow, including post-production in Photoshop. Camera skills and computer post-production will be discussed.

Course description: This 3-day course provides a solid foundation in photography and the role both the camera and Photoshop plays in workflow - for print or web. The class is customized to your workgroup's needs and photographic tasks. Mixed needs are typical and can be handled within the structure of the 3 days. Curriculum concentrates on: Day 1 - Camera operation and photographic principles including proper exposures using f-stops and shutter speed, and ISO, to control exposure, and focus, composition, lens and other camera operations and menu items, low light and daylight shooting, camera related techniques for product or people/portrait photography; Day 2 - Lighting including lighting for products, people, mixed lighting, outdoors, and any other scenario the students typically need to light; Day 3 - Input and Output including RAW processing using Photoshop (Camera Raw or Lightroom), metadata, compression, image size vs. resolution, labeling and sorting, file organization, retouching, color management, output to web or print. Wherever possible the course is customized to the students particular goals, and the curriculum will vary. Through lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on work, students learn the tools to fulfill their photography needs, and advance their skills and careers. Students leave the master class with new found knowledge and a solid understanding of photography from camera to computer to print or web.

Topics Include the following, but are subject to change depending on customer needs:
