Result

Target audience
This course is suitable for anyone who wants to learn how to manage and edit digital photos efficiently. You are already comfortable with Windows or macOS, but are still a beginner when it comes to photo editing. No prior knowledge of Photoshop Elements is required.
Teaching method
You take this course in our open learning format: one course day on which you work with Photoshop Elements independently, at your own pace. An experienced trainer sits beside you and helps you along as soon as you get stuck or have a question.
You work with a clear, well-structured book and practice files, so that you combine theory and practice straight away. What you learn that day you apply immediately to real photo assignments. You take the book home with you as a reference work.
Prior knowledge
You can find your way around Windows and know how to open, save and retrieve files. No further prior knowledge is required. Experience with photo editing is not necessary, as you start with the basics and build up step by step.

Course format
This training is offered on the basis of our Open Learning teaching method. This means that you work independently, with active guidance from our trainer, to master the material. That way you can achieve your learning objectives at your own pace, without being held back by fellow participants working faster or slower. The trainer makes sure that you stay on schedule and meet your learning objectives. This form of learning leaves room for a tailored approach. You have the opportunity to bring in examples from your own practice and IT environment, so that your learning is even more specific. more...
