MEET YOUR ADOBE CERTIFIED INSTRUCTORS
All of the Rocky Mountain Training instructors training on Adobe software have current Adobe Certified Instructor status (see About Adobe Certification for details). Three of our instructors, Barb Binder, Kevin Siegel and Khaled Hadi have been recognized as Top Five Most Highly-Rated Adobe Certified Instructors, Worldwide by Adobe Systems, Inc.
What makes us different than other instructors? We do what we teach.
All Rocky Mountain Training instructors work outside the classroom in their fields of expertise: either in print or web publishing, or both. This is a very important consideration when selecting a training company, because many trainers only know what is covered the classroom materials, and have no practical knowledge beyond the courseware. The Rocky Mountain Training instructors have years of hands-on experience and will be able to help streamline your production workflow and answer your most difficult questions. Too good to be true?

Barbara Binder, ACI, CTT+
Barbara Binder, owner of Rocky Mountain Training and Adobe Certified Instructor since 1997. Delivers classes on Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe InCopy.
Barb started in the publishing field in 1986 with Pagemaker's first release for Windows. She has been delivering corporate training since 1987, mostly in the Washington, D.C area. She moved to the foothills west of Denver to escape the congestion and the craziness of life “inside the Beltway” in 2005. (Access to the fabulous skiing and living the outdoor life may have had a little something to do with the move, too.)
She has been an Adobe Certified Instructor on multiple programs since the inception of the program in 1997 and has been hired to teach "train the trainer" courses to help other instructors pass the rigorous Adobe Certified Expert exams and CompTIA Certified Technical Trainer exam.
