Your program consists of two Instruction Sets designed to take you step-by-step through the techniques and skills you'll use professional image editing.

Here's how it works: Your first Instruction Set is sent immediately after your enrollment has been accepted. Your next Instruction Set will follow as you complete your projects, so you will always have training materials to work with.
