Facility

Our classroom is located in a downtown Decatur office building two blocks from the main square and the Decatur MARTA station.  A refrigerator is on site to hold student drinks and prepared cold food.  There are no cooking facilities in the classroom, but there is a convenience store next to the building, a Starbucks two blocks away, and dozens and dozens of first class, original (non-franchise chains) restaurants all within walking distance. By the end of the class, many students are ready to move to Decatur.  It's like living in New York City, but without the traffic and crowds.

Classroom

Our classroom holds two student and one instructor workstation.  Students can view the instructor's computer via a monitor placed between their workstations.  This monitor is no more than a few feet from their seats, making it possible for those with less than perfect vision to see the course instruction without the strain of having to view a projected image dozens of feet away.

Plus...Not available in any other training center.

Student computers are equipped with dual monitor graphics cards and a second 21" monitor that allows the instructor to monitor the student's work.  This is an enormous asset for both the student and instructor.  The instructor can immediately see if the student is confused by the tasks and can quickly guide him/her in the right direction.  This is also a big time saver, as the instructor does not have to constantly get up and walk around to the student's workstation to see what the problem is.

Equipment

All of our computers utilize

• Windows Vista Operating System
• Dual-core processors
• 3-4 Gigabyte of RAM
• 21" 1650 x 1060 Resolution Monitors
• Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
• High-end Nvidia Graphics Cards
• Adobe CS4 and CS5 Master Collection

Students wishing to use Mac computers must bring their own laptops.  However, aside from a few keyboard shortcuts, all software programs function exactly the same on both PC and Mac, and there should be no problems for a Mac user to learn the software on a PC.
