Counselling & demo class
Design is learnt by making things and having them critiqued. Every module here ends in a piece of work that the trainer reviews with you, line by line and layer by layer.
Your work is reviewed and you redo it — the step self-learning usually skips.
Logos, posters, social posts and print jobs written like a client would write them.
Files prepared correctly for a Hoshiarpur print shop as well as for Instagram.
You leave with a portfolio of finished work, not a folder of exercises.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
A practical skill to add while you decide on, or continue, further studies.
Fits alongside a degree, with weekend and evening batches covering the same syllabus.
Skills you can bill for, plus the delivery habits clients expect.
Enough hands-on depth to build, brief or evaluate the work yourself.
No prior experience needed — the first modules start from fundamentals.
Eligibility
Not sure whether your background fits? Counselling is free — tell us your background and goal and we will suggest the right batch, with no obligation.
The stack you work with in class and in the live projects.
Finishing Adobe Photoshop puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the Adobe Photoshop programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during Adobe Photoshop, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.
See internship trainingIllustration — ask to see a real certificate at the centre.
How the paper is used
The roles Adobe Photoshop prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.
Talk about placementsMost Adobe Photoshop courses cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.
