Why us

Training you can point at afterwards

Six things we commit to on every course, written plainly so you can hold us to them.

Most software training fails in the same way. The room is too big for the instructor to see anyone's screen, the exercises use clean sample files that behave, and a fortnight later nobody can repeat what they saw. We have built the school around fixing those three things.

The test we apply to every course is simple: at the end of it, can you produce the thing your job actually asks for, on your own machine, without the instructor sitting next to you. Every outcome listed on a course page maps to a module in that course's curriculum, so you can check the promise against the timetable before you spend anything.

What every course includes

Small classes

Public classes are capped at twelve learners so the instructor can watch your screen, catch the wrong click early and change pace when the room needs it. The cap is the same online and in the classroom.

Real project work

You retouch a portrait with skin texture left intact, set a report with an automatic contents page, cut a two-minute edit to a brief, or ship a working assistant. The files are messy on purpose, because client files are.

Recordings for twelve months

Every live session is recorded and stays available to you for twelve months. Miss an afternoon, or come back to a technique in March that you learnt in September.

A free retake within six months

Sit the same course again, live, at no charge within six months of the class you attended. One retake per booking, subject to a free seat on the date you pick.

Priced in LKR or USD

Sri Lankan learners and companies pay in rupees at a price set for this market. Everyone else pays in US dollars. Same syllabus, same instructors, same materials.

Mapped to ACP objectives

Adobe courses are written against the published Adobe Certified Professional exam objectives for that application, and include practice questions in the same style.

‘Adobe Certified Professional is delivered through Certiport and currently covers Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Animate, Dreamweaver, Acrobat Pro, Adobe Express and Adobe Firefly. Specialty Credentials in Visual Design, Video Design, Web Design and Marketing Design are awarded when two related professional certifications are completed. You sit those exams with Certiport, not with us, and you buy the voucher separately. What we do is teach against the published objectives, so nothing in the exam is a surprise. We do not guarantee a pass, and anyone who does should be treated with suspicion.’

How we behave when things go wrong

If a date does not run

Public dates confirm once they reach their minimum enrolment. If a date will not run we tell you at least five business days before the start and you choose a full refund or a free transfer to another date.

If your plans change

Transfer to another date free of charge with ten or more business days' notice. Inside that window you can still transfer once for a fee, or send a colleague in your place at no charge.

If you fall behind in class

The instructor has the room small enough to notice. Failing that, the recording, the workbook and post-class email support on the exercises are all included, and the retake is there if you want the day again.

If your setup is broken on day one

Join the pre-class setup check. We confirm the version, the system requirements and the exercise files before the class rather than losing your first hour to installations.

Compare a course against your own work

Open any course page and read the curriculum next to the outcomes. If the module that builds the thing you need is not there, tell us and we will point you at the course that has it.
