Captivate Classes for e-learning
Participating in Captivate classes allows educators to learn the process and techniques for creating e-learning educational materials as part of a small-group workshop. This traditional classroom setting provides an opportunity for individuals to learn Captivate directly from an e-learning professional, and benefit from questions, projects, and discussions with other educators. Public Captivate courses follow a standard curriculum, which can be either introductory or advanced, depending upon the course. Regularly scheduled public Captivate courses are available in Boston as well as in NYC and in Philadelphia.
Private Captivate Training
For groups that need to learn Captivate to work on specific e-learning projects, a private Captivate training workshop is beneficial. Private Captivate training can occur on-site, or off-site at a classroom. Regardless of the location, a private Captivate workshop can focus on specific topics or projects that need to be completed, and emphasize specific capabilities or functions.

For those who are unable to attend a regularly scheduled class or are unable to travel to a classroom location, an online Captivate training class provides an opportunity to learn Captivate without leaving their desk. A live online Captivate course is led by the same instructors who teach public Captivate classes, yet it is delivered completely online.
