Should you have aspirations for a web design career, find a course in Adobe Dreamweaver.
For professional applications you'll be expected to have an in-depth and thorough understanding of the complete Adobe Web Creative Suite. This is including (though it's not limited to) Action Script and Flash. If you wish to become an Adobe Certified Professional (ACP) or an Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) then these skills are paramount.
To develop into a professional web-designer however, there is much more to consider. You'll be required to have knowledge of some programming essentials like HTML, PHP and MySQL. An excellent grasp of SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) and E-Commerce will also give you a distinct advantage in the marketplace.
Some training providers are still maintaining the rather old-fashioned idea of classroom days. Very often portrayed as a huge benefit, after discussion with someone who has first-hand experience, you'll most likely hear about many or most of these issues:
* Loads of travelling to and from the workshop centre - usually quite a distance away.
* Weekday access to workshops is usual, and with two or three days required at a time, this can be difficult for most working students.
* Holiday days lost - a lot of employed people get just four weeks holiday each year. If over half of it is swallowed up by training classes, that isn't going to leave much vacation time for the student.
* Training workshops sometimes reach their maximum intake very quickly, so we end up having to take a less-than-ideal slot.
* Many students want to study at a pace that is different to the other class members. This can create a classic case of 'classroom tension'.
* Calculate the increasing cost of all the travelling, accommodation, parking and food and you could find yourself astounded. Students have reported extra costs ranging from hundreds to over a thousand pounds. Do the maths - and you'll see how.
* Not wanting employers to know about the training is often very important to a lot of students. Why sacrifice any lift up the ladder, wage increases or success with your current employer because of your studies. If your work discovers you're putting yourself through training in a different industry, what do you think they'll do?
* Surely, all of us at some time have shied away from raising a hand in the air, because we wanted to look smarter?
* Typically, classes become virtually undoable, when you live or work away from home for days at a time.
A more flexible training route is to employ pre-filmed workshops wherever you want to take them - taking them when it's convenient to you - not some other person.
You could study at home on your desktop computer or if you've got a laptop, you can go anywhere. If you've got questions, then logon to the 24x7 support facility (that should've been packaged with any technical type of training.)
There's no need to take notes - every lesson is laid out for you already. If you want to re-do anything, just go for it.
Even though this doesn't avoid every little difficulty, it unquestionably makes things easier, simpler and less stressful. You've also got less costs, hassle and travel.
An effective training package will undoubtedly also offer wholly authorised exam preparation packages.
Be sure that the mock exams haven't just got questions in the right areas, but are also posing them in the same way that the proper exam will structure them. This can really throw some people if the questions are phrased in unfamiliar formats.
Simulations and practice exams are very useful for confidence building - so that when you come to take the real thing, you will be much more relaxed.
