Advanced Digital Training

Advanced Digital Training is a computer-training school whose courses are focused on computer graphics and digital photography.

Located on the North Shore close to the foot of the Lions Gate Bridge. It is also just 5 minutes away from Route 1 making it easily accessible both to the Downtown area as well as the entire North Shore and areas situated along Route 1.

Their focus is computer instruction in a variety of graphical and photographic disciplines. ADT School has chosen to use PCs for two simple reasons:

• Most people use PCs both at work and at home, and would prefer to train on the system they are used to;
• Most Graphics training schools use Apple computers.

ADT provides training in: Digital Photography, Video Editing, Web Site Creation, the use of selected Adobe products - namely Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere. To find out more about each of these courses, go to www.adtschool.com just click the "COURSE LISTING" menu button to the left. Browse through the rest of their site and discover for yourself the benefits of attending courses at ADT.

Everything they do is based on four very important foundational principles - the reason you will find their courses to be both very effective AND thoroughly enjoyable:

• SMALL CLASSES: All classes have a maximum of 8 students. Small classes facilitate learning and allow for greater attention to individuals.
• PERSONALIZED INSTRUCTION: No tapes or headsets - you could do that in your home. You get personalized tuition by a qualified instructor.
• PRACTICAL APPLICATION: We help you apply the theory to your everyday tasks to ensure that you actually use all the "stuff" you learned while on course.
• NO TECHNO-BABBLE, jargon or computer speak - just simple everyday language that facilitates learning.
