Hands-on training is the acquisition of knowledge, skills and competencies needed in the workplace. There are a number of definite benefits that can be realized in learning in a hands-on environment that many colleges offer. 1. More Program Material is Retained Student experience a huge increase in the amount of information that they retain when given the opportunity to practice what they are learning in the form of hands-on training. Studies have shown that when students sit and listen intently but passively in a lecture-style environment, they retain 20 percent of the presented information. When they are given the opportunity to practice what they have just learned, that percentage increases to 75 percent. 2. Simulated Learning is an Engaging Environment When students are given the ability to learn in a practical hands-on environment, they are very often engaged, stimulated and want to learn as much as possible. The student's appetite for learning increases and they are more willing to listen and pay attention if they have a more practical or life like task to complete. Students also become more empowered in their own learning situation.

The lessons were easy to follow. I learned how to use photoshop. If you have questions, you can contact them by phone. Be prepared. It takes a lot of time. Getting your certificate.
