Prerequisites

The prerequisites depend on the Photoshop course you wish to take. The Photoshop Basics class requires no prior knowledge of Photoshop, you merely need basic computer skills. It is however important that you have access to Photoshop so that you can practice what you have learned. If you are not sure which Photoshop class to take, feel free to contact us and a teacher will 'interview' you and suggest the course to fit your needs and purposes.
