“Excellent facilities – very comfortable and easy to locate. Instructor was extremely knowledgeable and personable. There were students with various levels of knowledge in class, but we were all engaged and (I believe) came away with some great information. I am excited for the Advanced class!” – Dawn E., Fort Smith Public Schools (LiveCycle Designer Intro – AEM Forms)
“I came in knowing very little and now I believe I understand the basic logic of the program. In other words, if I need to figure something out not learned in class, I think I understand the program well enough to easily figure out the answer.” -Bradley S., Independent (Intro to Adobe LiveCycle Designer)
“When you currently wear several different hats at your job, learning a new skill set although rewarding can be very daunting. You need to apply the new gained knowledge immediately. I really appreciated the LiveCycle instructor’s hands-on approach. I am ready to get to work!!! Thank you Think Big- this was a great experience.” Temperance B., U.S. Department of Education (Adobe LiveCycle Designer Training)
