Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For live online Adobe training, we’ve found flexible scheduling options, including weekday, evening, and weekend courses.

Career Changer

You’re not only committed to learning Adobe comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career.

Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.

Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training. And due to the steep prices (some courses as high as $4,995) many programs provide financing options. See financing notes below but always be sure to confirm with the school and read the terms and conditions. Not all applicants are admitted and approved for financing.

Here are a couple “career-changer” programs. All the programs include career services (see the provider’s website for details on what is included).

• Video Editing & Motion Graphics Certificate @ Noble Desktop ($4,995 | 126 Hours).
  The course provides job support and comes with a money-back guarantee (see the school’s website for terms and conditions). Financing is also available: Students can finance their tuition with installment plans, or no-interest student loans via Climb Credit. See terms and conditions.
• Adobe Premiere Pro Course @ Centro de Estudios de Innovación ($790 | 54 Hours).
  The course provides job support and comes with a money-back guarantee (see the school’s website for terms and conditions).
