20 years in productionPrincipal / architect roles10,000+ engineers trainedM.Tech BITS Pilani25+ certifications

This Adobe track is taught as a production workflow rather than a tour of menus: every session runs live inside the applications against real files, and each module ends with an exported deliverable checked against the target medium — web, print or video. The syllabus is built around the decisions that actually cause rework — raster against vector, RGB against CMYK, linked against embedded assets, destructive against non-destructive editing, and the export settings that decide whether a file survives the handoff — and around the repeatability layer of styles, templates, libraries, presets, actions and batch export that turns one good asset into a consistent set.

Twenty years across DevOps, SRE and Security, in principal and architect roles at PayPay, SoftwareAG, ServiceNow, JDA Software, Intuit, Adobe and others. He has trained engineers at JPMorgan Chase, Verizon, Nokia, the World Bank, VMware, Oracle, Mercedes-Benz and Airbus — more than 10,000 people personally. He teaches what he runs, not what he reads.

One practitioner, not a bench

You are booked with a named engineer, and that is who turns up. Marketplaces and larger providers rotate whoever is free, so the person who sold you the agenda is rarely the person teaching it.

The same trainer is available for the next engagement, which matters when a team builds on what it learned last time.

Who delivers Adobe engagements

Your batch is assigned a named trainer before it starts, and that is who teaches it. See the full faculty.

How your Adobe trainer is chosen

Engagements are matched on the tool, not the calendar. For Adobe that means a trainer who has run it in production — the Adobe Creative Cloud toolchain — Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro and After Effects — taught as a production workflow — rather than whoever is free that week. You are told who is teaching before you commit, and that person is on the discovery call that shapes the agenda.

Where a batch is large enough to need a second trainer, the pairing is declared up front. The lead trainer stays accountable for the syllabus and the assessment either way.

# private batches

Private Adobe training for your team

A private batch starts with a discovery call. We look at the stack you actually run — the CI system, the cloud, the constraints — and map the agenda onto it, so examples use your topology rather than a generic one.

Delivery is onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid, scheduled around your release calendar rather than ours. Batches run 8 to 30 engineers.

Every attendee leaves with recordings, slides, lab repositories and a completion certificate. You receive an attendance and assessment report. Invoicing supports PO and GST.

# the technology

What is Adobe?

Adobe Creative Cloud is not one application but a toolchain, and most of the difficulty in learning it comes from not knowing which tool owns which job. Photoshop is a raster editor for photographs, composites and screen artwork. Illustrator is a vector editor for logos, icons and anything that must scale without loss. InDesign is a layout engine for multi-page documents, print and digital publishing. Premiere Pro is a non-linear video editor, and After Effects is a compositing and motion-graphics tool that sits beside it rather than replacing it. Adobe XD and Adobe Express cover interface design and fast-turnaround assets.

What connects them is more important than any one of them. Colour management, resolution and pixel density, colour modes such as RGB against CMYK, linked versus embedded assets, Creative Cloud Libraries, and export presets for web, print and broadcast are shared concerns. Get those wrong and work that looks correct on screen prints muddy, ships blurry on a retina display, or arrives at the printer with missing links.

The difference between hobby use and production use is non-destructive, repeatable technique: adjustment layers and masks instead of painted-over pixels, smart objects instead of flattened edits, paragraph and character styles instead of manual formatting, master pages and templates instead of copy-paste, and actions, batch processing and export presets so the second hundred assets cost a fraction of the first ten.

Why this skill matters now

Creative work has moved in-house. Marketing, product, sales enablement and internal communications teams now produce a continuous stream of assets — social variants, campaign artwork, decks, one-pagers, product shots, short-form video — at a cadence no external agency retainer was designed for. The skill gap is rarely artistic; it is operational. People can make one good asset and cannot make forty consistent ones.

Video has made this sharper. Short-form video is now the default format for most channels, which means editing, captioning, colour and audio cleanup have become expected skills for people who were hired to do something else. Premiere Pro and After Effects have moved from specialist tools to team tools.

Generative features — Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Firefly-backed tooling — have changed the speed of certain tasks without changing the fundamentals underneath them. They produce raster pixels at a specific resolution in a specific colour space, and someone still has to know whether the result is print-safe, whether the layer is destructive, and how to hand it to the next person in the chain. Training that skips the fundamentals leaves teams unable to fix what the generative step gets wrong.

What your team can do afterwards

Choose the right Adobe application for a given deliverable instead of forcing every job into Photoshop
Work non-destructively with layers, masks, smart objects and adjustment layers so edits stay reversible
Build scalable vector artwork in Illustrator — logos, icons and brand marks that survive resizing and reprinting
Lay out multi-page documents in InDesign using master pages, paragraph and character styles, and correct preflight output
Edit and finish short-form video in Premiere Pro — cut, audio cleanup, colour, titles, captions and export presets
Add motion graphics in After Effects and move work between it and Premiere Pro without re-rendering everything
Manage colour, resolution and file formats correctly for web, print and broadcast targets
Set up templates, Creative Cloud Libraries, actions and batch export so a set of assets stays visually consistent
# curriculum

9 modules. Live demos in a real lab, not slides.

01The Adobe ecosystem — which tool owns which jobLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

A map of the toolchain before any of it is opened. What each application is genuinely for, where the overlaps are real and where they are traps, how Creative Cloud licensing and plans are structured, and how the applications share assets through Libraries, linked files and Bridge.

Topics: Creative Cloud applications and what each one is for · Raster, vector and layout — three different problems · Licensing, plans, seats and asset storage · Creative Cloud Libraries and shared assets · Adobe Bridge and asset browsing · Choosing a tool for a real brief

  • Assignments: (1) Take five real deliverables from your team and assign each to the correct application with a reason; (2) Audit where your team currently uses the wrong tool for a job
  • Capstone: Produce a one-page tool-selection guide your team can apply without asking a designer
02Shared fundamentals — colour, resolution and file formatsLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The layer underneath every application, and the source of most production failures. Pixels against points, effective resolution, PPI against DPI, RGB against CMYK, colour profiles and what soft proofing tells you, plus the file formats that matter and the correct one for each destination.

Topics: Resolution, pixel density and effective PPI · RGB, CMYK, greyscale and spot colour · Colour profiles, colour settings and soft proofing · Lossless and lossy formats: PSD, AI, INDD, TIFF, PNG, JPEG, WEBP, PDF, SVG · Linked versus embedded assets and package/collect workflows · Export targets: web, print, presentation and video

  • Assignments: (1) Prepare one image correctly for web, for print and for a presentation deck; (2) Diagnose three files that were exported to the wrong specification
  • Capstone: Write an export specification sheet covering every output your team actually ships
03Photoshop — non-destructive raster editingLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Photoshop taught around layers and masks rather than around the toolbar. Selection strategy, layer types and layer order, masking, adjustment layers, smart objects and smart filters — the set of techniques that keep an edit reversible three weeks after it was made.

Topics: Workspace, panels and a working document setup · Selection tools, refine edge and channel-based selections · Layer types, groups, blending modes and opacity · Layer masks, clipping masks and vector masks · Adjustment layers: levels, curves, hue/saturation, colour balance · Smart objects and smart filters · Retouching: healing, clone, content-aware and frequency separation basics

  • Assignments: (1) Retouch a product photograph without flattening a single layer; (2) Rebuild a destructive edit as a fully non-destructive layer stack
  • Capstone: Deliver a composited hero image with every adjustment still editable
04Illustrator — vector artwork that scalesLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Vector construction from paths upward. The pen tool and Bezier control, shape building and pathfinder operations, strokes and appearance, type on a path and type outlines, artboards for multi-size delivery, and the export settings that produce clean SVG rather than bloated markup.

Topics: Paths, anchor points and the pen tool · Shape builder, pathfinder and boolean construction · Fills, strokes, gradients and the appearance panel · Type handling and converting type to outlines · Artboards for multi-size and multi-format delivery · Symbols, global colours and swatch libraries · Exporting SVG, PDF and raster from vector sources

  • Assignments: (1) Rebuild an existing logo as clean vector artwork with correct outlines; (2) Produce a five-icon set on a consistent grid with shared swatches
  • Capstone: Deliver a logo package: full-colour, mono, reversed, favicon and print-ready formats
05InDesign — layout, long documents and print outputLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

InDesign for anything longer than a single page. Document setup with bleed and margins, master pages, threaded text frames, paragraph and character styles, tables, and the preflight and package steps that decide whether a printer can actually use the file.

Topics: Document setup: pages, columns, margins, bleed and slug · Master pages and page numbering · Threaded text frames and story flow · Paragraph, character and object styles · Placing images, links panel and resolution warnings · Tables, tabs and long-document features · Preflight, packaging and PDF/X export

  • Assignments: (1) Convert a manually formatted document to a fully style-driven one; (2) Fix a layout that fails preflight and explain each error
  • Capstone: Produce a print-ready multi-page brochure that passes preflight with correct bleed and links
06Premiere Pro — editing and finishing videoLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

A complete short-form edit from ingest to export. Project and sequence setup matched to the footage, the cut itself, audio repair and levelling, colour correction before colour grading, titles and captions, and export presets that hit platform specifications rather than guesswork.

Topics: Project setup, media management and proxies · Sequence settings, frame rate and resolution matching · Timeline editing: trims, ripple, roll, slip and slide · Audio: levels, loudness targets, noise reduction and ducking · Lumetri colour correction and grading · Titles, graphics, captions and subtitles · Export presets for social, web and broadcast delivery

  • Assignments: (1) Cut a 60-second edit from raw footage to a fixed brief; (2) Repair a clip with bad audio and inconsistent exposure
  • Capstone: Deliver a finished, captioned short-form video exported to three platform specifications
07After Effects — motion graphics and compositingLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

Motion work that sits alongside the edit rather than replacing it. Compositions and the layer model, keyframes and easing, shape layers and masks, text animation, basic tracking and keying, then the Dynamic Link and render workflow that moves work between After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Topics: Compositions, layers and the timeline model · Keyframes, interpolation, easing and the graph editor · Shape layers, masks and track mattes · Text animation and animation presets · Motion tracking and basic keying · Expressions for repeatable motion · Dynamic Link, render queue and Media Encoder

  • Assignments: (1) Animate a logo sting with correct easing and a clean loop; (2) Build a lower-third template that other people can retitle safely
  • Capstone: Produce a reusable animated title package and integrate it into a Premiere Pro edit
08Adobe XD and Express — interface design and fast turnaroundLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The two tools that serve speed. XD for interface layout, components, prototyping and developer handoff; Express for template-driven assets that non-designers can produce without breaking the brand. Where each is appropriate and where it should stop.

Topics: XD artboards, grids and responsive resize · Components, states and repeat grid · Prototyping: interactions, transitions and preview · Design specs and developer handoff · Adobe Express templates and brand kits · Enabling non-designers safely with locked templates

  • Assignments: (1) Prototype a three-screen flow with working interactions; (2) Build a locked Express template a non-designer can populate
  • Capstone: Deliver a prototype plus a template kit that lets a marketing team self-serve routine assets
09Production workflow — consistency, automation and handoffLive & Interactive5 hrs · 2 assignments · 1 capstone

The module that makes the previous eight scale. Templates and style systems, Creative Cloud Libraries as the shared source of brand truth, Photoshop actions and batch processing, export automation, file naming and versioning, and a handoff format the next person can actually open.

Topics: Template and style-system design across applications · Creative Cloud Libraries as shared brand assets · Photoshop actions, droplets and batch processing · Image processor and export automation · File naming, versioning and archive structure · Handoff packages: what to include and what to strip · Reviewing and approving work without email attachments

  • Assignments: (1) Automate a repetitive resize-and-export task end to end; (2) Define a naming and versioning convention and apply it to a live project
  • Capstone: Deliver a complete campaign asset set — print, web, social and video — produced from one shared template system

# questions

Frequently asked

Can the agenda be customised for our team?
Yes — that is the normal case for a private batch. We start with a discovery call, look at the deliverables you actually produce and the applications you are licensed for, and rebuild the module list around them. A print-heavy team gets more InDesign; a social team gets more Premiere Pro.
Do you deliver onsite?
Yes. Private batches run onsite at your premises, live online, or hybrid. You provide the room and the machines; we bring the trainer, agenda, exercise files, assessment and certificates.
Do we need our own Adobe licences?
Yes. Attendees work in their own licensed Creative Cloud installation, or an Adobe trial, on their own machine. We do not supply software licences or hosted desktops, and we walk attendees through installation and workspace setup before the first module.
How long does a private Adobe batch take?
Three to five days. Photoshop, Illustrator and the shared fundamentals fit in two to three days; adding InDesign, Premiere Pro and After Effects takes it to five. Single-application deep dives can be run as one or two focused days.
Can we cover only one application, such as Photoshop?
Yes. Single-application batches are common — a two-day Photoshop or Premiere Pro track, for example. We keep the shared fundamentals module regardless, because colour, resolution and file format errors cause more rework than any tool-specific gap.
What size are batches?
Private corporate batches run 8 to 30 attendees. Public Live & Interactive cohorts are capped at 10 so everyone gets time with the trainer.
Do attendees get a certificate?
Yes — every attendee receives a completion certificate, verifiable at devopsschool.com/certificates. Corporate batches also receive an attendance and assessment report.
Is this preparation for the Adobe Certified Professional exam?
No. This is practitioner training built around production work rather than exam preparation, and no Adobe-badged credential is issued. If certification is your goal, say so on the discovery call and we will tell you plainly what the course does and does not cover.
Do you cover the generative AI features?
Yes, in context. Generative Fill, Generative Expand and similar features are demonstrated where they genuinely save time, along with their limits — resolution, colour space, licensing questions and how to correct or replace output that will not survive print.
What happens if someone misses a session?
Sessions are recorded and available in the LMS, and attendees keep LMS access for a year. Exercise files stay available so a missed lab can be completed afterwards.
How do you handle invoicing and tax?
We support purchase orders and issue GST invoices where applicable. Corporate quotes are issued in your currency; INR remains the source price.
What is your refund position?
If we cancel or postpone a cohort, you receive a full refund within 15 days. There is no general money-back guarantee, and GST and gateway fees are not refunded.
