Dreamweaver CS4 Training Overview

Accelebrate’s Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 training teaches attendees everything they need to know in order to build their first web or e-learning sites with Dreamweaver CS4.

Dreamweaver CS4 Training Prerequisites

Prior experience using the Web is required. This course does not require knowledge of HTML, but attendees with HTML knowledge will find Dreamweaver much easier to use in both the short- and long-run. Toward this end, we would be delighted to teach a one-day HTML primer immediately prior to this course.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This training class is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 15 minutes. Students "learn by doing," with immediate opportunities to apply the material they learn to real-world problems.

All students will receive a copy of Peachpit Press' Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Hands-On Training.
