Personal skills development is something that is important for every individual – especially in this economic climate! One of the most pertinent things I have learned over my career is that you never stop learning – be it a new technique in Photoshop or learning about some new technology in web development.
I am not the kind of creative that likes to keep his cards close to his chest – far from it in-fact! There is nothing I enjoy more than sharing knowledge and seeing someone using that knowledge to push their creativity that little bit further. I have conducted formal training sessions with professional designers in Quark Xpress, InDesign and Photoshop.
In my spare time I lecture in graphic design and multimedia at Solihull College, which I have done for a number of years. I have lead groups of 17-19 year olds right through to mature students. In 2009-2010 I will be conducting 2 sessions a week during term time (around 30 weeks), with potentially a third session in web development and WordPress with HND students. This has helped me develop a friendly, well-paced approach to training and presenting that many freelancers lack.
If you are looking for private training in industry standard creative software, I would welcome the opportunity of providing you with a proposal for this. My rates are very competitive compared to private training companies and I have trained groups of upto 20 people, and presented to well over 50 right down to individual one-on-one training. My actual preference is groups between 5-15, which ensures that I can dedicate enough time to each delegate.
