If you can't get to a classroom, there are online options as well. Many online resources are either geared towards people already in the business or real beginners, but it can be a low-cost alternative. Note that inclusion on the list does not mean any endorsement whatsoever. BCIT BCIT has classes at the Burnaby, downtown and online campuses in Marketing and the software applications used in production.
Some courses are available online and most are held weekends and evenings.
Adobe Adobe's website has a large educational section with online tutorials and resources for those looking to master Adobe products, including some helpful tips on using PDFs. Quark Like Adobe, Quark has a well-designed educational component to their website. Most is geared towards professionals already using the package but there are also tips and a searchable database of educators that teach Quark classes - last I looked, noone in BC was listed. A new setup in online learning that both Macromedia and Quark have signed on with. I don't know if the costs justify what you get - the exchange rate really drives the prices up.
