As all of our instructors have real industry experience, they bring that knowledge with them into the classroom. Students are not only taught how to use the software, but also how to apply that knowledge creatively so that they can troubleshoot issues for themselves. We also treat class assignments as real productions with the relevant deadlines. Students are also given tips on dealing with clients and managing jobs within both large and small teams. This helps to prepare our learners more fully for the rigours of production work.
2 of our instructor staff have The CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer (CTT+) certification which identifies excellent and dedicated industry instructors. CompTIA CTT+ is an international, vendor-neutral certification that covers core instructor skills, including preparation, presentation, communication, facilitation and evaluation in both a classroom and virtual classroom environment. Adobe, Dell, Microsoft, Novell and Ricoh recommend that their trainers be CompTIA CTT+ certified. The Training Associates also look for CompTIA CTT+ certification when hiring trainers.
