Do I require any prior knowledge of Adobe software in order to do this class?

No prior knowledge of Adobe software is needed however you will require basic computer skills

Please note that while this class is perfect for beginners to the Adobe Creative suite, you will require basic computer skills. This includes keyboard and mouse skills (including being familiar with various right mouse click functions) and being able to navigate your way around either an apple or windows environment. This course will not teach those basic computer skills.

What should I bring on the day?

Please bring along a USB stick (at least 2GB minimum) in order to save your files during class, and a pen and paper to take notes (optional). Basic course notes will be provided.

I notice the course is run on MAC but I have a PC (or vice-versa) – Can I still attend?

The answer is yes! Given the Adobe interface is practically identical on both MAC and PC platforms (other than some differences in regards to keyboard shortcuts and the like), as long as you have basic computer skills (ie: are comfortable navigating around a windows or mac environment) you should experience no issues. Your teacher will assist with any difficulties you may experience here. If you have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 9652 0611 and we’ll discuss this with you.

While the above is true – we do still offer the course on both platforms. If you would prefer to do the course using a Windows PC, please see our Adobe Photoshop: Introduction (PC) courses here.
