Introduction to Adobe Premiere Pro - Live online training

Learn Premiere Pro, the industry leading video-editing software, without having to leave your home or place of work!

Our two-day live online training course provides a thorough grounding in the key tools Premiere Pro provides for film editing and video post-production. It then goes on to explore further useful techniques including adding video effects, exporting frames, clips and sequences, and managing your projects.

This course is hosted live by one of our expert trainers, who use the application extensively in their professional work, outside training.

The Armada approach to live online training

You participate in the same course as in-class delegates, and we do everything possible to make your experience as close as possible to actually being in the classroom…

• Your course is hosted by an Adobe Certified Instructor (ACI) with vast experience of using the application professionally.
• You can see and hear our trainer, the other delegates and our trainer’s screen.
• Our trainer and the other delegates can see you (via your webcam) and hear you.
• We’ll post you a printed training guide, and make the course files and resources available for you to download.
• Your training is hands-on: you’ll practice and carry out exercises throughout.
• If you're learning to use an application and don’t have access to the software, we’ll send you a link to fully-functional trial software that you can download and install.
• If you need assistance, you can share your screen with our trainer, and pass control to them.
• Should you want to send a private message to your trainer, you can do so using chat.
• You’ll receive an e-certificate confirming successful completion.
• You’re entitled to 30 days’ email support from your trainer.

We also run this course with classroom attendance, at our centres in Sheffield, Birmingham (Bromsgrove), Reading, Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Nottingham, and Milton Keynes.
