I attended the 3-day Creative Suite 6 Boot Camp here this week and really enjoyed it. It was a small class and a great teacher that focused on Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I signed up for the class because I wanted to gain a basic working knowledge of the tools and capabilities of three applications! This class definitely met my expectations. I had used both Photoshop and InDesign a little bit beforehand, but with this class I was able to get a lot more insight into what the programs could do and was able practice the the tools (and shortcuts! I love keyboard shortcuts!). Illustrator was my weak skill set going in and after the working with it for a day, I now feel that I can actually work in the application with more ease and productivity. One reason that I am posting a Yelp review, is that I looked at the reviews here before signing up and I wanted to pass on the great review for anyone that is considering the classes here. I say it is worth it. read more

I just finished a two day InDesign training course with Christopher Brown, and it was fantastic! I came in with intermediate knowledge but was looking to fill in gaps, learn shortcuts, and streamline my workflow--I took one Adobe class during college about five years ago, and have since relied on trial and error / self-teaching to use InDesign for postcards, signage, informational guides, etc. on a weekly basis at work. By lunchtime on the first day, before even beginning to work in a document, I had already learned a LOT of helpful information (resolution standards, setting up a workspace, properly exporting for different scenarios, etc.) I've relied on Google to help me solve basic problems many times previously, but these are really the "you don't know what you don't know" tidbits that you need to get from a good teacher. Seriously game-changing. My only regret is that I didn't take the class sooner--to think of how much time I've spent putting together factsheets and booklets without setting up master pages or even knowing how to flow text is honestly sort of painful...hours off my life! Chris, the instructor, was awesome. I'm not sure how often he teaches up here, since he is based in Atlanta, but I'd highly recommend him. So knowledgable, so personable, and made the class (5 of us, a perfect size) fun. He's worked with a lot of high-profile clients on design projects, so you know he know's what he's doing. Now that the class is over, I feel a lot more confident with InDesign, and excited to continue building my Adobe repertoire with future classes here. You get to keep the Adobe textbook, which will undoubtedly prove helpful in the future. Ledet is a certified Adobe training facility (as well as Google and Apple), so beyond a wealth of new skills, you also come away with something concrete for your résumé. Great stuff! read more

I attended an InDesign class here several years ago. I would highly recommend Sterling Ledet to anyone looking to gain basic or more advanced skills in Adobe design software. I had very little design experience going into the class, but was able to learn enough to handle several design tasks at my company. This was very helpful as we didn't always have the resources or time to use an outside design company for every project. The cost of the class was a great investment and ended up saving us a lot of money and time in the long run. I wish I was still in DC so I could keep taking classes here! read more

Took the Premier Pro training held 6/17-18/2013. Self taught background in the course. Tony was super nice and helpful. The class moved slow at first. However that changed the second day. Had trouble taking notes and keeping up with the hands on work. General background in Premier will help. We got a brief intro to After Effects, Audition, Encore and the Media Encoder. I got a lot out of this training. Would recommend. I'm a teacher and our school paid for this training. I would recommend attending for all 5 days which includes 3 days of After Effects (Animation for your timelines). Training Facility is literally right beside the Blue and Orange Metro Stop (Farragut West) and the Red (Farragut North) is one block away. Farragut Square is right outside the facility and there are a bunch of food trucks there for lunch. There are plenty of restaurants with in a block as well. Entrance is located directly in center of the block (East of Farragut West, one store). Go in doors and head down stairs to lower level. read more

Last week, I had the pleasure of taking the Adobe CS5 Bootcamp class in Washington, DC. The class spanned 3 days and focused on a day of Photoshop, a day of Illustrator, and a day of InDesign. This amount of training and the way in which it was taught was perfect for the CS5 beginner. I am a manager of designers, and until I took the class, it was hard to understand exactly what they were working on or how to manage their workload. After taking this class, not only am I a better manager, I also can do lots myself! Susan, the instructor, was fantastic. She went at the perfect speed and slowed down for questions as needed. Susan has a wealth of Adobe experience combined with a background in classroom teaching, making her a perfect instructor for this software. From an administrative point of view, I had to reschedule a few times and Ledet worked quickly with me to work with my calendar issues. I look forward to taking more classes with Ledet as I expand my Adobe skillset. read more

I previously wrote a negative review based on the process of actually getting into the classroom, as there were last minute cancellations. Rather than revise my past review, I thought it best to delete the previous one and rewrite a new one. My experience has changed, though, since I finally have completed the course. In reaching out to the general support number on the website, it seemed as though the were indifferent about my dissatisfaction, but the DC group changed that. The local DC rep, Taniesha Davis, was extremely proactive in righting a wrong and even went as far as to rearrange schedules to ensure I would get into the next session I waited for. The instructor I had, Susan Krupkowski, for the Advanced InDesign course, was lovely. She was very helpful and knowledgeable. I learned a lot of tricks I was completely unaware of. I do wish there were a bit more instruction involving graphic design, but otherwise it was a good experience once I got into the classroom. I recommend this program. read more

I attended a two day course at Ledet for InDesign. I took the advanced course and gained knowledge in areas that I thought I had mastered. I was pleased to learn faster ways to do things and learned more of the capabilities the program has to offer. I walked out with a better understanding of why things are done the way they are. That helped me to put it all together and make sense of steps and procedures. I liked the fact that the class was small and also liked the monitor on each desk showing the instructors screen. I would highly recommend Ledet Training. read more

Had a great time at Camtasia training at this site. The location was very convenient and I loved the room/computers and small class size.
