Illustrator Classes

Illustrator training classes available for all versions

Whether you are using the most recent Creative Cloud version, or earlier releases such as CS6, CS5, or CS4, we offer Illustrator training courses to help you learn the tools you use. Our regularly scheduled public Illustrator courses use the most recent versions of the applications, and we also have older versions available to use as well. If you wish to use an older version of Illustrator for your training, simply let us know and we'll work to accommodate you. Our Illustrator instructors have more than a decade of experience working with it, and can address questions and deliver training on all versions of Illustrator.
