Seeking Feedback about CompMaster

November 18, 2005 7:20 AM

Has anyone had personal experience attending a CompMaster Seminar? Specifically for Adobe Photoshop.

I received a CompMaster flyer for an Adobe Photoshop seminar located in my city. Every day traveling to work, I drive past the hotel hosting the event. Therefore, there is no travel nor overnight expensive to consider. The price is $200 for a full day. Any recommendation as to whether this particular venue of learning is a good value? My personal learning style is classroom or lecture. So in general, the idea of attending is appealing. However, I'd really like to hear feedback from folks who have attended a seminar offered by CompMaster.

I can't vouch specifically to CompMaster seminars, but I can say that the one-day training seminars I've been to through the years were pretty much entry-level, learn-where-the-buttons-are-and-what-they-do affairs.

If you have no experience with Photoshop, though, it may well be a good place to start.

I attended a CompMaster seminar in the spring. I did learn some good tips and work arounds. The session really depends on the teacher. The instructor in my spring class was a photographer and really knew his stuff. Just a warning - They will spend a good fifteen minutes pumping up overpriced books in the morning. Don't get sucked in - most of them are available on Amazon and cheaper. Also - if you have a laptop, bring it to class. I found it very helpful following along.
