Hey all

I have a couple of VA's who are great at the basics, but really need a structured course to teach them professional web design - and I'm far too busy to do that myself.

Can anyone recommend a good online course in photoshop/dreamweaver/web design?

I have no problem in paying for the right course for them but there just seems to be so much cr@p out there (bit like IM courses really lol!).

Anyone suggestions????

Cheers in advance

        Often overlooked, but I don't know why...maybe since it's on discs.
        If you have someone that wants complete interactive and affordable training I'd have to say that the Professor Teaches by Individual software is the best that I've used.

        It takes the complex and the simple - it puts everything together and you also learn by doing. The whole process is built on putting what you learn into action.

        Professor Teaches How to Create Web Pages - The most realistic, interactive & complete training!

        Frankly it's fairly top notch training for a rather reasonable price. They also have individual courses for even less!

        Just thought that it should have a fair shake as it's often not taken as seriously as some of the others. Personally I think it's more in-depth than the Lynda.com since it has more interactive and detailed options.

        I hope that someone will start taking more notice of the software as it's very good at what it does.

    I like lynda.com and their pricing model as well as their variety. There DW tutorials show some quality solutions that you can easily add to your site(s).

    classroom in a book is a great series. It's by adobe, a book is available for each module...illustrator, indesign, photoshop, dreamweaver

    if purchasing used (from amazon or half.com) be sure it includes the disc...can pick the books up for around $20. Also, your local library may have them for use as well.

    +1 Lynda. Haven't used the Lynda course for any Adobe products but I have used them for other tutorials and they were great.
