In this two-day Advanced Adobe Illustrator course, you will use some of the more complex features the software has to offer. We will cover topics like using several artboards, slicing, integration with other Adobe software, the gradient mesh tool and creating batch scripts.
Adobe Illustrator is the most popular vector drawing and graphic design package in the world. You can enlarge vector artwork infinitely, making it an excellent choice for billboards and large format posters. You can also create EPS files that retain all Postscript data needed for print, making it suitable to create tee shirt designs, as well as any package design.
We also dedicate time for you to ask us real-life questions to gain knowledge of doing something with the software relevant to you. This course is ideal for those new to Illustrator, and at its completion, you will be able to create your own designs. For the full technical breakdown, please see further down the page.
Finally, we offer six months of email support on all of our courses. If you get stuck on something (as long as it's in your course outline), drop us an email, and your trainer will get back to you with a solution.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
