Quality:  

The overall quality of VTC Photoshop Tutorials is very good. The video screen size makes everything easy to read and the interface is user friendly. The viewing window doesn’t fill the entire screen making it easy to move back and forth between the video and the Photoshop program you are learning about.

All courses include a detailed outline, lessons are well organized, and the outcome and length of each video is clearly defined. The course catalogue is very detailed and includes the name of the course, the name of the instructor, how many lessons are in the course, and how many hours of video are included in the course.

In most cases, the instructor assumes you are not familiar with Photoshop. They take time to teach the vocabulary and incorporate an appropriate level of jargon into the lessons to insure you become comfortable speaking and understanding “Photoshopese.” The instructor’s speak naturally without unnecessary enunciation which is more personal and offers a comfortable learning experience.

VTC Photoshop instructors are personable and address you as if having a one-on-one conversation. They involve you in the lesson by having you follow along and actually perform tasks making the learning experience more memorable and entertaining.

One thing that is most appealing about VTC Photoshop Tutorials is the accreditation of the instructors. For example, Dwayne Johnson teaches many courses including Photoshop CS4. He is the CEO of Diehard Studio, a firm specializing in 3D animation, illustration and writing. Another example is Phil Hawkins, who teaches Photoshop Elements 6 and Photoshop Lightroom 2. Mr. Hawkins is an award-winning free-lance professional photographer in Fresno, CA. His work has been published in Sports Illustrated, ESPN The Magazine and other sports publications.

Each VTC Photoshop instructor has noteworthy professional experience in the graphic design field which makes them well qualified to teach Photoshop. If you would like to learn more about the instructors, they each have a bio available on the VTC website.
