When I first received my course manual for Captivate 101 in the mail, I was excited about the outline of the course and the way the material was to be presented. However, the instructor that led my online training did not go through the book at all. The training skipped all over the place, and, more importantly, the instructor did not utilize the manual or the resources we had been instructed to download. I was told that if I wanted to take the next courses that are part of the Captivate Boot Camp I should familiarize myself with the book and the downloads on my own time as other instructors might expect me to be familiar with what was in the training as written. I could have purchased a course manual and gone through it on my own time and not paid $1000 for an online training. Because the instructor did not go through what the book had outlined it was difficult to follow along. He spent a lot of time on formatting text boxes, making fonts look a certain way, how to create color schemes, etc. While these skills are not entirely useless, I did not sign up for a course in graphic design. Day Two was spent entirely based off a screen recording the instructor had made in Adobe Photoshop. I do not have an Adobe Photoshop account, nor do I have need for one, and so I could not follow along and do what the instructor was doing. The entire day was spent with the group watching the instructor do everything, unable to follow along and try it ourselves. Very few people are able to learn by watching six hours' worth of videos. There was no need for me to be a live participant in this course; the students were rarely asked for our input - or asked any question other than "Does that make sense?". I could tell that the instructor knew the content. He was very knowledgeable. However, his ability to teach was incredibly lacking. He would do better to follow the curriculum that has been given to him, and not try to design his own course. I was incredibly disappointed in this training, and would hesitate to spend any more money with your company. If it were not for the course manual I received, this training would have been an absolute pointless endeavor.
