Steps forwardIt is always encouraging to see things becoming more established, and this year as we met for the 3rd Adobe Training event in Romania, it was obvious to see progress. Not only were there more nations from Eastern Europe represented, but also people that had previously attended, were building on what they had learnt and were excited to take in as much as possible.
The participants were broken into three groups - beginners, intermediates and advanced users of the Adobe programmes. This helped the trainers to teach at the right level for each group and also in making the groups smaller it gave the personal touch and an openness for more effective learning. The trainers were excited to see participants who had attended in previous years, developing in their ability to use the programmes and of course the continuity helps in building relationships.
At the end of the first day I was told by a participant ...’if what I have learnt today was all I would learn for these days here, then it was well worthwhile me attending. Of course I am sure in the coming day’s I will learn even more’. This was a reminder of how valuable this yearly training event is to those that attend. As we talked further over dinner he explained some of the projects which he had been working on previously and that they were taking him a number of weeks to complete. He could already see that he had gained a better understanding of the programmes and felt more comfortable using them, which he felt would cut down the time needed for such projects to around two days. Any employer would be happy with these types of changes!
It was with excitement that we were able to fix and announce the dates for next year’s training event, which will be from the 29th Sept-3rd Oct 2009, held at the same conference site just outside Oradea, Romania. We look forward to seeing many come back to continue to build on their skills, and we’re excited to be learning from the CS4 programmes, which will be released by then.
