Q: What Time Do Classes Start?

Q: How Long Are Classes?

Q: How Many People Can Attend Each Webinar?
A: Our Webinar tool, GoToWebinar, has a limit of 1,000 attendees per class. Based on the popularity of our other free training, we expect to reach that limit on most classes.
Q: Can I Download Recorded Copies of Classes?
A: We record a high-resolution copy of each class, and we plan to make recorded copies available for a slight fee.
Q: How Can This Be Free?
A: We are trying to make a big splash, and we love working with a large audience. Help us spread the word. If we continue to attract a full audience, we’ll be able to keep offering these types of free courses for InDesign, Illustrator, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, and other Adobe products.
Q: Can I Post an Invitation on my Blog?
A: Yes. Please help spread the word. We need as many people as possible enrolled to make this free class format viable for us. You can post a link to the following URL, which we will keep updated as details change:

Will you be covering CSS? I hope so!
August 10th, 2009 at 6:10 am
Could you add Berlin to your class times? I guess it’s the same timezone as Paris.
August 10th, 2009 at 9:55 am
Yes! Other classes this summer were absolutely great – Liz

Thank you SOOOOOOO much for this new time!!! Finally, I don’t have to wake up at 4am!!! I am SO in for this one. You guys rock my digital world.
August 11th, 2009 at 4:38 am
I’m so glad you set Dreamweaver up for 3 p.m. (6 p.m. my time). I am hoping you can take a little time to show how to use Dreamweaver to create the html you can use for marketing emails that can be sent through ESPs like Constant Contact.
August 13th, 2009 at 6:33 am
Hi,
I’m interested in Dreamweaver course. How can I inscribe in this course?
August 13th, 2009 at 1:32 pm
yes I would like to attend, I can always learn something.
thanks so much,
August 15th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
I’m keen! Only have to be awake at midnight til 01:30 am South African time to attend, that may be a bit difficult.
Is there a possibility of getting the videos (for a slight fee is cool) after they have been shown? That way I can keep up during the week.
Otherwise, this course sounds great, looking forward to a break down!
August 17th, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Looking forward to it. I just got it approved so I can do it while I am at work!!
August 18th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
No website yet (that’s why I want to learn Dreamweaver. Unfortunately, I don’t have reliable online access. It periodically drops me off completely. Is that an issue in terms of relinking to the class?
Also, I will be traveling on the 22nd of Sept. and returning on the 29th! will have to miss those classes. Would it make more sense to sign up for a later series?
Thanks.

I am hoping that you can cover how to use DW to create HTML emails, as only limited CSS can be used, and I’m not sure what can and what can’t be used for that purpose.
August 31st, 2009 at 6:55 am
I’m in! Can’t wait. Please add how to insert Flash into website and HTML emails.
Thx
Debbie

I would love to come on your course too but 11pm is too late for me. Like Cristina above, I would like the videos, each week if possible. Small fee is not a problem. Shall I still sign up?
September 7th, 2009 at 11:05 am
This will be tough since the classes start at midnight for me but Im waiting for so long for this course and from past experiences it will be totally worth it, you have such great instructors and the whole experience is fun and relaxed and I love it. Well, I am taking all of your classes so I must love them.
thanks for everything!

@ Faye:
I had OS issues at earlier classes and had to sign in a couple of times in a row and I never had any issue. Even when the connection is dropped you are still signed in so I think you place waits for you to connect again (I tried signing in from another OS and couldnt because I was already signed in).
@Rosemary: all courses can be bought, you can buy each week separately or whole ten weeks for a smaller price, I dont know if its ok to talk about prices here but write a mail to someone from CreativeTechs and they will tell you the details, Im sure. Its not much considering other alternatives and its worth it because the classes are really great. And they explain everything at the start of each weeks class so you will learn then if not sooner.
September 8th, 2009 at 4:06 am
Just great. Looking forward for that. In case of missing a class – is it possible to catch up?
September 11th, 2009 at 12:31 pm
“I would love to come on your course too but 11pm is too late for me. Like Cristina above, I would like the videos, each week if possible. Small fee is not a problem. Shall I still sign up?”
lol, i would love to come on your course
September 14th, 2009 at 4:48 am
I only have Dreamweaver 8. Will that work with these clases?
September 22nd, 2009 at 6:52 am
I have taken most of the Adobe Suite CS4 Classes offered and they are EXCELLENT. I have purchase the downloads and use them often and ALWAYS learn something new that I can use!!!
Please keep these courses coming!!
September 22nd, 2009 at 1:17 pm
I absolutely appreciate your courses, they are fantastic! I also purchased some, because they are so well done.
But 3pm pacific time means: from London all the way to Tokyo night time… hard to participate after midnight.
September 23rd, 2009 at 4:15 am
The 3:00 p.m. time worked great for my East Coast US time zone. Last night’s class was a good refresher and those website resource links were great. I’m looking forward to next Tuesday!
October 3rd, 2009 at 5:36 am
I signed up and paid for this class just after the last week transmission but had actually two classes by then. I was able to see the first transmission but am unable to get back into that system to see the last week’s webinar. I would like to catch up on it before next weeks. Please help me on how do I get back into that link. Thanks Jay
