Academy Class Celebrates 5th Anniversary with Training Discounts

Online, August 4, 2011 (Newswire.com) - To celebrate its 5th anniversary, Academy Class, a UK new media training company primarily based in London, offers huge discounts on some of its two-day training courses. Running all through August-Academy Class' birthday month-six of the company's training courses will get marked down to £97+VAT from the usual £297+VAT price tag. Two of these courses teach students the technical aspects of graphic design and printing, while the other four teach ways to manage and monetise with the web and social media.

These two-day training courses act mostly as introductory lessons to some of Academy Class' more comprehensive courses. Design Techniques 101 teaches the basics of design to help beginners separate good creative material from the bad. Production for Print, based on Mark Gatter's book of the same name, answers some of the questions graphic designers face when dealing with requirements for commercial print shops.

Academy Class' Search Engine Optimisation and Google Analytics courses, both offered with the £97+VAT markdown, deal with the more technical aspects of web development and management. These jargon-heavy topics are taught in a fashion that is easy for novices in the area, in order to instruct students effectively within the two-day teaching window. Writing for the Web complements the SEO course by improving the quality of students' online copywriting skills. Website Usability & Experience covers both a theoretical run-through of case studies pertaining to web traffic and a hands-on practise of its key principles.

Would-be trainees are encouraged to visit the Academy Class website (http://academyclass.com/training) for further information on each training course. Signups are also entertained directly on the site. For complete course descriptions on these discounted classes, go to http://bit.ly/acbdaydiscount.
