Creative training courses in web development

Established in 1997, Ubiq is a unique home-based training company based in East Dulwich, London. We run our courses in a comfortable room with an adjoining lounge area. Our customers are made to feel at home, relaxed and at ease, and as a result, they learn more. We can also deliver training tailored to your own requirements, either here or on your own premises.

About our courses

We are a fully independant training company, and we design our own courses around real-world projects, concentrating on the most important skills and techniques you will need. We deliver courses in the Adobe Creative Suite and related coding languages for the web. We employ expert trainers who are also working industry professionals with proven teaching skills. See our Trainers page for more details. Our courses include certification, free technical support, course notes and supporting materials and last but not least, a really fantastic home-cooked lunch.

Small classes for a better learning experience

We believe in quality over quantity, so we train no more than four people in a group. Small groups allow for a much greater level of interaction between trainer and students. In many ways, this is even better than a one-to-one course, as you will generally find yourself with a small group of people with similar interests. If you’ve been disappointed in the past by typical classroom-based courses, then this will be a new and much better experience.
