How will I learn?

Premiere training is hands-on and practical.

Our trainers teach the necessary theory then demonstrate techniques step-by-step. You then practice the techniques taught on a computer running Premiere. You’ll have plenty of opportunities to ask questions.

Windows or Mac

Premiere works almost identically on the Windows and Mac platforms, and our course is suitable for users of both platforms. (There are some minor differences, but nothing of significance.)

Our centres offer both Windows computers and Macs for delegates to use, so you can carry out exercises on the platform you’re familiar with.

Premiere training guide and certificate

Course delegates receive:

• A practical Premiere training guide, to refer to during the course and use as a refresher after. Choose from a printed, bound guide or a PDF – whatever suits you best. If you’re participating online and you choose a printed guide, we’ll post this to you.

• An e-certificate confirming successful course completion. Click here to see an example of the certificate you receive.

After course support

Following Premiere training, delegates are entitled to 30 days’ email support from their Premiere trainer to help with any post-course issues. For further details, see Support.

Prerequisites

No prior Premiere knowledge is necessary.

Premiere version

Training is based primarily on Premiere 2026. The techniques taught are relevant to all recent releases of Premiere.

All Premiere training is suitable for both Windows and Mac users.

Follow-on courses

• Intermediate/Advanced Premiere Pro.

• Watch our trainer demonstrate techniques in Premiere.

All you need is an Internet-connected computer with…

If there’s anything you’re not sure about we’ll do our best to help you. We won’t, however, be able to assist with your Premiere installation.
