Key details

Adobe Presenter training course for beginners, teaching how to create high-quality multimedia e-learning content.

Adobe Presenter is a Microsoft PowerPoint plug-in that makes it possible to create e-learning content using PowerPoint’s familiar interface.

Our one-day Adobe Presenter training course teaches everything you need to take full advantage of its capabilities. Sessions include:

• Converting existing PowerPoint presentations into e-learning content.
• Creating new e-learning content from within PowerPoint.
• Adding rich features including narration, audio, video, animation and navigation controls.
• Including quizzes.

The e-learning content you create can be generated in HTML5 format, making it accessible through any standard web browser, tablet or mobile device. You can send scoring data to leading LMSs and track learner progress.

Adobe Presenter training is arranged on-request, i.e. one-to-one training or a ‘closed course’ for your group. Your training can be tailored to take into account any existing knowledge you have, and the work you’re going to be doing.

In-class or online

Following the announcement on 4th January that England must enter a new national lockdown, Armada cancelled all in-class courses in January, February and March. We anticipate being able to offer in-class training again from April onwards, subject to Government guidance.

We continue to offer all courses in our live online format.

Accredited Adobe Presenter training

Armada is an Adobe Authorised Training Centre (AATC), accredited by Adobe to provide Presenter training.

Expert trainers

Presenter training is hosted by Adobe Certified Instructors, who are experts in the application, with vast experience of using it professionally.

Course delegates receive:

General information

Course times

Standard course times are 9.30am–4.30pm.

Payment

Payment for Presenter training can be made bank transfer or card.

We accept purchase orders from UK-registered companies and public sector organisations.

If you’re self-funding your training, you can pay in staged payments, interest-free, over 12 months.
