Adobe Animate is the sequel to its now redundant big brother, Adobe Flash. Animate is a versatile piece of software and excels in producing vector-based animations for use on the web, in television, and a whole host of other situations.
You can also import bitmaps, but its real power comes from outputting to formats such as HTML 5, animated SVG files and Spritesheets. Animate still harnesses Action Script's strength, a versatile and powerful scripting language enabling you to create much more powerful animations.
Our Adobe Animate courses only run to order, so please get in touch with us using the contact form if you wish to book a class.

Most of our Adobe courses come with a free Adobe authorised training manual for your reference during and after the training. The courses where no manual is available come with comprehensive notes for you to take away with you. We always have a maximum of six delegates in our classrooms which will give you more one on one time with the instructor.
You are encouraged to ask us examples of how to do things that you need to learn for you role. We try and tailor a portion of the day to accommodate this, so that everybody leaves with relevant knowledge suited to their job.
Our trainers are all Adobe certified (Adobe Certified Instructors) and more importantly, have worked in relevant roles using all of the software they teach. We check all of our trainers credentials thoroughly before we employ them, to give you the student, the very best learning experience.
