Yes. No prior Illustrator experience is required. Beginners receive a comprehensive foundation, while experienced users benefit from the depth of content, advanced techniques, efficient workflows, and professional best practices covered in the Bootcamp.
What version of Illustrator does Lumenbrite teach?
Lumenbrite teaches the current release of Adobe Illustrator, including relevant current feature updates. Because the training is live, instructors can also answer questions about the tools and features you're using at work.
Should I take Illustrator Essentials or Illustrator Bootcamp?
Most people are best served by Bootcamp. It covers everything in Essentials, then adds two more days of intermediate-to-advanced skills — so you get the fundamentals plus the deeper techniques most professionals actually need. Choose Essentials if you only want the core basics; choose Bootcamp if you want the complete, job-ready skill set.
Can Lumenbrite customize Illustrator training for our team?
Yes. Private Illustrator training can be customized around your team's experience, projects, workflows, and goals and delivered onsite, at a Lumenbrite training location, or Online Live. To discuss customized training for your team, Contact Us and we'll help you determine the best approach.
