How to choose a Photoshop course in London
To choose a good Photoshop course for you in London you need to find a course that does two things: 1. matches your level of experience of Photoshop and 2. covers the things you want to do in Photoshop. Not all Photoshop courses will do this. This guide is designed to help you find the right course for you.
To find the right Photoshop course in London for you, start by deciding these three things:
- What level of experience do you have? Are you new to Photoshop? Do you have some experience already? Do you regard yourself as an advanced user?
- What do you want to do in Photoshop? Is there a specific thing you want to be able to do?
- Do you want an online or classroom course, or are you happy with either?
Once you have answers to these three questions you are ready to start looking.
A Google or AI search will throw up a lot of options. Here are some pointers to help you decide:
• If you only need to do something simple like crop a photo, Adobe’s free cropping tutorial may be enough. There are plenty of free tutorials focusing on specific tasks.
• If you want a good basic foundation in Photoshop skills you should consider a two-day Introductory course. Choose one that is delivered by Adobe Certified Experts such as this Introduction to Adobe Photoshop course. The course costs £549 plus VAT with discounts on selected dates. It has a satisfaction rate of 9.8/10 from 2142 reviews.
• If you have completed the Introduction to Photoshop course or have equivalent skills, consider the two-day Photoshop Intermediate course. It covers layers, custom brushes, selections and masks and will build on your existing skills. The course costs £549 plus VAT with discounts on selected dates.

• If you already have the skills on the intermediate course, you should consider this one-day Photoshop Advanced course.
