• An evaluation plan for your project.
• A design document detailing the design of the training 
• Computer skills in either Macromedia Flash or Dreamweaver

What our students say about the course:

The networking with the other students has been exceptional.

What was most useful was having presenters from the business/corporate world and academic world who present the information at a level that would be useful in the work environment.

This program was absolutely wonderful! I have learned so much over 5 weekends. My goal was to have more formal training in IDT and I feel like I got it in this program. The presenters were very knowledgeable and great to get to know.

Great!!!!! I will recommend that (my company) send any new designers to this training. It helped me much more than I even thought it would. Thank you very much.
