Ascend Training

Ascend offers hands on training in Chicago in all Adobe Applications. Since 1998, we have developed the top training classes in the country for creative media. We believe in a hands-on approach in such classes as Photoshop, Dreamweaver and Flash, incorporating real-world exercises taught by the top industry professionals. We firmly believe that one of the best ways to learn is by hands-on experience. Each student is provided with his or her own state-of-the art Mac or PC workstation with a minimum of 2 GB RAM in a class with never more than 10 students. We also understand that time constraints don"t always allow students to return to their office and begin working on the software right away. Therefore, we offer a 6 month re-take policy for each application.
