Instructor-Led Training for Creative, Technical, and Knowledge-Work Teams

I design and deliver instructor-led, hands-on training for creative professionals, business teams, and organizations. Courses are available as virtual instructor-led training (VILT), on-site classroom training, and private customized engagements, with content for all engagements tailored to real-world workflows—not generic feature tours.

Course Levels

Most software courses are available at three levels, depending on audience experience and goals:

Introductory

Designed for learners new to a tool or with limited, infrequent experience. Focuses on core concepts, essential workflows, and building confidence.

Advanced

For experienced users who are largely self-taught or ready to work more efficiently. Emphasizes best practices, workflow optimization, and deeper feature mastery.

Master Class (Expert)

For professionals with significant real-world experience. Highly customized, project-driven, and focused on advanced techniques, edge cases, and production-level decision-making.

Example: Adobe InDesign

  • Introductory: For new users or those with limited experience
  • Advanced: For working professionals looking to fill gaps and improve efficiency
  • Master Class: For designers and publishers with at least 3 years of experience seeking expert-level control and customization
