Course overview.
Projects, importing, the timeline, basic cuts, titles and exporting for the platform.
The 2 days works through 15 modules and 84 individual topics, from Video foundations to Exporting. Each module is taught then practised — you do the thing rather than watch it done — on our exercise files, and on your own where you are able to bring them.
Groups are kept small enough that everyone gets hands on the keyboard, and the facilitator is in the room the whole time rather than dropping in. You leave with the PDF courseware, the exercise files and notes in your own words.

Thought the course was excellent. The key was the great organisation and modularistion of the content. Ben did a great job - explained things well, was easy to understand, and answered all the questions. The course format was really logical and easy to follow too.

Questions
Questions People Ask About This Course
Anything not answered here, call 1300 886 190 and ask a person.
How long is the Adobe Premiere Pro Essentials course?
It runs for 2 days, 9:00am – 4:00pm, with a facilitator in the room the whole time. Nothing is pre-recorded and there is no platform to log into afterwards.
How much does Adobe Premiere Pro Essentials cost?
$890 per person, excluding GST. That covers the course, the PDF courseware and exercise files and the room. If four or more people from one organisation need it, an in-house day usually works out cheaper — tell us the numbers and we will price both.
Do I need any experience before this course?
No prerequisite. The day assumes ordinary computer confidence and nothing more.
Can I do Adobe Premiere Pro Essentials online instead of in a classroom?
Yes. Every date marked “Live online” runs over video with the same facilitator and the same practice, in breakout groups rather than a room. You use the software on your own machine, so you leave with it set up the way you actually work.
Which cities do you run Adobe Premiere Pro Essentials in?
Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, plus live online. Every venue is a CBD training room with a workstation for each person. If your city and date are not paired on the schedule above, ask — dates are released in blocks.
Which Pro level should I book?
Work from what people already do rather than how long they have used it. The full course outline above shows exactly what this course covers, and the Adobe Premiere Pro page lists every level in order. Still unsure? Call 1300 886 190 and describe a normal Tuesday.
