“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)

Appreciated the Hands-On Approach
"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."
