Our Illustrator TRAINING

Below you can explore our full range of Adobe Illustrator courses, from beginner training through to advanced Illustrator courses and our comprehensive Illustrator Bootcamp®.

Our beginners Illustrator course is aimed at those who are new to the product and looking for a professional course that will teach them best practice techniques right from the start. We start out by explaining basic concepts such as what are vectors and bezier curves and then move onto creating basic shapes, working with paths, organising your artwork, working with colours, applying effects, working with text and a variety of techniques around outputting your work.

The Illustrator course is hands on throughout and during the sessions you will learn how to use the software to make vector artwork for use in things like logos, signs, icons, greetings cards and more.

If you have already attended our beginners Illustrator course, or have some previous experience with Illustrator, the Advanced Illustrator Course is the next step. Covering a range of more advanced techniques this course teaches you how to work with symbols, use live paint, apply the blob brush tool, work with perspective grids, make the most of gradients, benefit from image trace functionality, work with illustrator patterns and much more.

Our small class sizes mean you get plenty of time to practice, and our experienced and qualified instructors are more than happy to answer any questions that you might have,

Adobe Illustrator Training FAQs

WHO ARE THESE ILLUSTRATOR COURSES DESIGNED FOR?

These Illustrator courses are designed for professionals who need to create, edit, and refine vector artwork accurately as part of their work. They suit anyone responsible for brand consistency, graphic quality, or producing artwork that needs to scale cleanly for print and digital use.

DO I NEED PREVIOUS ILLUSTRATOR EXPERIENCE?

We offer Illustrator training for both beginners and existing users. Some courses assume no prior experience, while others are aimed at people who already use Illustrator and want to work faster, more accurately, and with more confidence in how their artwork is constructed.

WHAT SKILLS DO THE ILLUSTRATOR COURSES FOCUS ON?

Training focuses on practical, real-world Illustrator workflows, including building clean vector artwork, editing and refining paths, using colour effectively, working with type, and preparing files properly for print and digital output. The emphasis is on skills you can apply straight away, not abstract theory or one-off tricks.

IS THIS ILLUSTRATOR TRAINING SUITABLE FOR BRAND AND COMMERCIAL DESIGN WORK?

Yes. The courses are well suited to anyone producing brand or commercial artwork who needs clean, consistent, and reusable results, including logos, icons, diagrams, infographics, and marketing assets.

WILL I LEARN SHORTCUTS AND FASTER WAYS OF WORKING?

Yes, but always in context. Shortcuts and efficiency techniques are taught alongside proper workflows so you understand why they work and when to use them, rather than relying on habits that can cause issues later.

IS THE INSTRUCTOR QUALIFIED?

Yes. Courses are taught by Andy Gardiner, a PGCE (Level 7) qualified teacher and CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer, with over 20 years’ experience teaching Adobe Creative Cloud, including over a decade as an Adobe Certified Instructor.
