Here are some reviews of the training vendor.

   

Under prerequisites, Eliquo stated: ADAI101—Adobe Illustrator CS5 is essential; however, the pace of the advanced course was very fast and assumed that, in addition to ADAI101, participants had a certain proficiency / practical experience level. As such, it would have been very helpful if Eliquo had stated the minimum number of hours of practical experience needed to join the Advanced Illustrator course. At best, I received some exposure vs. learning specifics.

The introduction at each session which includes a detailed explanation of post-course support and an overview of the outline takes way too much time (upto 45 minutes on average). If you are taking the course, you already know the outline and it should only take 10 minutes to quickly go through the post-course support. People with questions can always ask during the break. Everything else with Eliquo is excellent!

Very interesting and informative, sessions were paced and not overloaded, equipment operated flawlessly.

The content was excellent, and we had some opportunities to apply what we learned; however, because Illustrator has a steep learning curve, I needed at least another half to full day in a "lab" to fully implement what we learned.

Could have used an additional day and more handout material but overall was a great course I highly recommend it!

Course was great.

More hands-on time would be nice. Perhaps 2 days of lecture/training and use the third day to create a project using the topics learned in the first two days. Also, handing out the course manual is the standard in all traning environments, not at the end of the course. Students/participants use text books/manuals to follow along with the verbal instruction and also take notes to assist with their own knowledge gain.

There could have been more time allowed for doing some of the coding on our own more - it was a little dry.

Reviewed by Colette P. 2011

   

for this specific course it would be a big advantage if you have familiarity with CS5 Premiere or at a minimum previous versions.

Reviewed by Mark C. 2011

   

A course manual would have been helpful - something to follow along with during the cours and make personal training notes and tips which you can refer to at a later date.

It was the trainer's first or second time training for Eliquo and he wasn't very prepared. I don't know if it was Eliquo's fault or his own but I wasn't impressed by that at all. In general though, the trainer is a nice person. I was also surprised tha
