I’m already booked on quite a few dates over the next few months so don’t delay, let me know your training requirements without delay and get a date in the diary. Do it now.
Meanwhile I’m getting back to training – of the physical sort. Too many mince pies…

While the CS6 suite has been out a little while now, Adobe don’t publish their recertification examinations until some time after the product launch – hence the delay in official certification.
