Boston UX Classes and Adobe courses postponed due to winter storm
- Published on
American Graphics Institute has rescheduled all UX classes in Boston that were scheduled for today, February 9. Also affected by the storm are InDesign courses that were scheduled for February 9. Those who are registered for UX training classes will be contacted with alternate dates, or they can choose any future course date to complete the training.
This schedule change affects only the Boston area classes, and all UX courses and Adobe training programs in Philadelphia and New York City are not impacted, and are running as scheduled. The AGI administrative offices based in Boston are running with fewer staff than normal, as some staff have elected to remain at home due to unsafe travel conditions. As such, there may be delays in responding to requests to reschedule any UX training programs that are currently booked, or to schedule new classes.
If you have an immediate need for a UX course or Adobe class, and live in an area affected by winter weather, consider an online UX class or online Adobe training course. These classes allow you to learn from home or the office, and are presented by a live instructor. You can see and hear the instructor, see their presentation, ask questions, and even share your computer screen if you have questions. Course materials are sent to you ahead of the class. The only requirement for these training programs are that you have access to a reliable Internet connection. If you are currently registered for a course, you can try an online class with no risk; if you don’t find the class to be suitable, you can take the same course as a live in-person class at any of our training centers.
