Waar vindt de incompany training Illustrator CC Basis plaats?
Wherever suits you: at your office, at one of our training locations or online. You also choose the date.
Can the content be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. Before the course we discuss with you what the group can already do, where things go wrong in practice and what should be different afterwards. The trainer uses examples and exercises from your own work.
How large can the group be?
That depends on the course. For a skills course we prefer to work with a small group, so that everyone can really practise. If more people are involved, we schedule several groups or set up a fixed programme.
Wat kost Illustrator CC Basis incompany?
You receive a fixed price for the whole group, in a tailored quotation. For a group this works out cheaper than booking everyone individually. For comparison: a place on the scheduled course costs EUR 1575,- excl. VAT per participant.
Can the course be delivered in English?
Yes. For in-company courses we deliver the training in the language of your choice, Dutch or English. Mention it in your request.
Do participants receive a certificate?
Yes, every participant receives a certificate of attendance afterwards.
How do I request a quote?
Via the quote form: state the course, the number of participants and roughly where and when you would like it. An adviser will then contact you.
How long does the Illustrator CC Basics course take?
The Illustrator CC Basics course lasts three days and is taught in the Open Learning format. This means that you work at your own pace with a clearly structured book and practice files, while an experienced trainer is on hand to give you personal guidance. You match the content and the level of detail to your own learning objectives, so that you make the most of the three days.
Do you need prior knowledge for the Illustrator CC Basics course?
No, the Illustrator CC Basics course requires no prior knowledge. The course is designed specifically for beginners and hobbyists with little or no experience of Illustrator. Basic computer experience is enough. Thanks to the Open Learning format, the trainer works at your pace and towards your learning objectives, so you master the basic techniques step by step.
Is the Illustrator CC Basics course suitable for Mac users?
Yes, the Illustrator CC Basics course is suitable for Mac users. You work on your own laptop and because Illustrator works virtually identically on Mac and Windows, you can apply everything you learn directly on your own Apple device. You work with the latest version of Illustrator CC and receive a book with exercises and exercise files that you can also use at home on your Mac.
Which topics are covered in the Illustrator CC Basics course?
In the Illustrator CC Basics course you learn the basic techniques for vector illustrations. Among other things, you work on selecting, transforming and combining objects, creating and editing shapes, drawing curves with the Pen tool, tracing images, applying gradients and colours, working with text and layers, and preparing PDFs for print. You also pick up handy tips and tricks.
What can you create with Illustrator after the basics course?
After the Illustrator CC Basics course you will be able to create vector illustrations, logos, icons and typographic designs independently. You draw shapes and curves with the Pen tool, work with colours and gradients, trace images and convert your design into a print-ready PDF. You master the basic techniques for developing professional vector images that retain their quality at any size.
What is the Open Learning format on the Illustrator CC Basics course?
The Open Learning format means you follow the Illustrator CC Basics course at your own pace, with personal guidance from a trainer. You work independently through the course material and decide for yourself which topics get more attention. That way the content matches your own learning objectives. An experienced trainer is on hand throughout to answer questions and help you further.
When should you choose a classroom-based Illustrator basics course instead of YouTube tutorials or an online course?
Classroom training works better if you want to lay the foundations in a structured way and receive direct feedback on your drawing work. YouTube tutorials show you isolated tricks, but lack coherence: you learn an effect, but not why you control the pen tool in a particular way or how to build up compound paths logically. In the Illustrator CC Basics course at Learnit you work according to the Open Learning format. This means the trainer follows your pace and goes into more depth on the topics where you get stuck. You receive a book with exercises and practice files to take home for reference. Choose self-study if you want to experiment a little as a hobby. Choose a classroom course if you are going to use Illustrator professionally for logos, icons or print work and want a workable foundation quickly, without any gaps.
What do you get in the Illustrator CC Basics course that you don't learn from e-learning or a self-study book?
A classroom-based Illustrator CC Basics course gives you three things that self-study rarely offers. First, direct feedback from an experienced trainer on your drawing technique, for example when working with the Pen tool, curves and compound paths. That is exactly where beginners get stuck in e-learning courses, because mistakes in anchor points or paths are visually hard to diagnose without someone looking over your shoulder. Second, in the Open Learning format you work towards your own learning objectives and at your own pace, so the depth of each topic (gradients, typography, layers, print-ready PDFs) adapts accordingly. Third, you receive a workbook with exercise files that you can use as a reference work after the course. Self-study is cheaper, but slower and without correction of sloppy drawing technique.
