Essentials of Adobe Captivate 4
Adobe Captivate 4 provides students with the
knowledge and hands-on practice they need to
develop and build software demonstrations and
interactive simulations with Captivate. In addition
to learning key concepts, students also learn best
practices for creating and publishing Captivate
projects.
Lumenbrite’s courses are taught by experienced
developers and designers that have been certified
by Adobe as expert trainers. We use official Adobe
training curriculum and also add supplemental
courseware to offer a truly unique training expe-
rience. Our courses are offered monthly at our
regular locations as well as customer-site locations
throughout the United States. We can customize
training for your organization to meet your specific
needs. We encourage you to bring in your work
projects so that we can answer any questions you
may have.
Recommended Prerequisites: Basic computer skills
on Windows or Mac
