The Adobe Captivate Foundations program is a hands-on workshop that covers everything you need to know about creating visually rich, and highly interactive eLearning.
We take a project-based approach by building an eLearning module from scratch and within the first hour, we are already building our Captivate project, learning the necessary features and skills to create a fully functioning eLearning module that we upload to a Learning Management System (LMS).

The course is viewed as a practical building process. On day one we begin with the basics of creating a Captivate project and adding content and heading into day two, we recap the basics before diving deeper into some more advanced features.
Learning Plan offer Adobe Captivate training in two different delivery formats, classroom and online.
Classroom
Our classroom courses are conducted across two consecutive days, or they can be spaced apart under special circumstances.
Our classrooms are located in North Sydney, as well as access to facilities in all major Australian cities with classes starting at 9am and finishing at 4:30pm with breaks and lunch. These times can vary with consultation with the group.
Cost
The cost per participant for our classroom courses is $900 (ex-GST), and this includes a copy of our comprehensive manual in printed and PDF versions.
- Cost per participant (Classroom) : $900 ex-GST
Dates
There are no dates currently scheduled, however upon consultation with prospective attendees, we can schedule dates at short notice at locations across Australia. We are happy to consider interstate travel (from Sydney) for special requests, and will factor in carbon offsetting costs into the quotes.
Online
Our online Adobe Captivate classes have been running since 2019 with several organisations benefitting from the flexibility of the format. The approach is to conduct 90 minute sessions at least once or twice a week to maintain momentum. Classes are conducted via the Adobe Connect platform which is for remote training, web conferencing, presentation, and desktop sharing. Students are required to download the Meeting Applications for Adobe Connect software from the Adobe website.
