About Ascend Training
Ascend was started in 1998 by Jori Curry with the idea that there would be one place for creatives and developers to learn. A solely woman owned business, Ascend has flourished in the past 12 years to be the longest operating Adobe Authorized Training center in the midwest, and one of the oldest in the country. We have students travel from all over the world for our classes, and some of our clients include Harpo Studios, Boeing, NBC, Leo Burnett, Kraft and others.
Testimonials
"You guys are THE BEST!!!! I've taken a number of Photoshop courses over the years, some that lasted a day, others that lasted 2-3 days. NEVER have I felt as though I came away from a training class with "ready-to-use" skills like I did this class. I will be telling everyone who has an interest in learning real work environment skills where to go to acquire them. Ascend is wonderful! I would like to add that the instructor was great, great, great. He was patient yet kept us hopping, giving us challenges and solutions to problems."
"I think Laurie is a fabulous instructor..she remembered my particular issues/ problems an constantly referred to them throughout the class on both days. She seems to be a master of Indesign and her patience is extraordinary. She is even funny and personable!"
Ron is an excellent instructor. He has a very good grasp on Adobe
Flash and also referred to newer versions of the application during the class.
That is a huge plus."
"Hands applaud for you folks for all your efforts to upgrade and update the skills of Designers from time to time. Excellent job. May you all be more blessed for all your hard efforts to keep the creativity skills flowing for multimedia industry. Good job! Good job!! Good job!!!"

I thought Kevin did a phenomenal job. He made what in many cases can be a somewhat boring subject matter very interesting.
