Once you gain a foundation and some experience using Core Skills, you are ready for Level 2 training.
IMPORTANT: To ensure you have the necessary skills for successful participation in the Level 2 training for Dreamweaver, please carefully review the topics included in the Level 1 course for Dreamweaver.
In Level 2 classes, content is covered at a faster pace and additional focus is placed on use of shortcuts and real world 'tips and tricks' to improve your workflow.
Each lesson includes unique and challenging project files. The Level 2 class also goes more thoroughly into advanced topics with some of the project files from our Level 1 courses.
Platform Note: This class is for Mac or PC Users
Version Note
Our Adobe classes are for users of the CC and CS6 versions. These classes are run on the CC version of the software but are relevant for CS6 users as well. In addition, we upgrade our software shortly after new training materials are released from Adobe. Typically new content is available within 2 to 4 months of a software release.
Prerequisites
Students should have some experience with Dreamweaver and working knowledge of the topics covered in Core Skills: Level 1. Specifically, you should feel comfortable with the workspace, understand HTML and CSS basics, and have some experience working with text, images, and hyperlinks.
