Which Ottawa Adobe Class is Right for Me?

You have several options when it comes to learning Adobe, so we’ve chosen 19 of the best Ottawa courses from the top 4 training providers to help you make your decision. But even so, with the variety of considerations including cost, duration, course format, starting level, and more, choosing the perfect course still isn’t that easy.

Here are the key questions you should ask yourself before enrolling in an Adobe course. We hope you’ll find the best option based on your learning preferences and goals.

What level should I start at?

Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

In-Person in Ottawa

If you prefer to learn Adobe face-to-face with your instructor, you have four schools to choose from in the Ottawa area:

The Training Company located at 1150-45 O'Connor St in Ottawa, ON. We found nineteen Adobe courses with prices ranging from $333 to $815 and class duration ranging from 1 day to 3 days.

Please note that due to COVID-19 some providers are temporarily offering online training only. Check with each provider for the latest status on a school’s in-person reopening plans.

Live Online Training from Anywhere

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. Here are 0 of the best live online Adobe classes we found:

When are Adobe classes available?

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For in-person training in Ottawa, the Adobe courses we found (shown above) are only available weekdays. For those with busy schedules looking for evening or weekend courses, these live online options offer flexibility:

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

What should I learn in Adobe?

With Adobe encompassing so many verticals and subtopics, it could be challenging to find what you’re looking for. We’ll help you break down the subcategories and related topics (see the Adobe topics section) to focus directly on one of the subcategories.

When learning Adobe, you can attend a course or program that dives comprehensively into Adobe or focuses on a particular topic, including Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator.

Focus on a Specific Subtopic within Adobe

Within Adobe, you can focus your learning on a specific topic, including Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro. Each one of these topics will directly enhance, supplement, or support your learning in Adobe. To see how each topic relates to Adobe and to focus your learning on any subcategory, see the subtopics section above.
