After building on six years of success as an Apple Training Centre, Filmbase is delighted to add Adobe Certified Courses to their range of professional industry training. Filmbase can now deliver Adobe courses taught by certified trainers in all the applications of the Adobe Creative Suite. Similar to the Apple Authorised Courses, students will have the opportunity to sit exams and upgrade their credentials by becoming Adobe Certified Experts.
Illustrator Essentials sold out quickly in August but there is still a chance to secure a place on InDesign in September and Photoshop or Premiere Pro in October.
