Order of Learning Aftereffects,photoshop and premiere pro

Hi all!

I got approval to do the official Adobe training to for Premiere pro, Photoshop and Aftereffects.

I just wanted to make sure I'm not stuffing up the order of learning...

So far I'm guessing I need to do Premiere pro before Aftereffects for sure, but is it also ideal to do Premiere pro and Photoshop before Aftereffects?

There are some places which have two courses for each e.g.

Premiere pro basic

Premiere pro Advanced

Photoshop Basic

Photoshop Advanced

Aftereffects basics

Aftereffects advanced.

So i'm thinking along the lines of

1.Premiere pro basic

2.Photoshop Basic

3.Aftereffects basics

then two months later...

4.Premiere pro Advanced

5. Photoshop Advanced

6.Aftereffects advanced

Does this look ok or is this also ok:

1.Premiere pro basic

2.Aftereffects basics

3.Photoshop Basic

4.Premiere pro Advanced

5. Aftereffects advanced

6.Photoshop Advanced

Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for confirming that Rob!

    From all the responses in this thread this is my current master plan in order of completion:

    1) Photoshop Essentials (June 18th-19th)

    2) Premiere pro essentials (June 25th-26th)

    3) Illustrator (June 28th-29th) is back to back with premiere pro in 1 week bad? Alternative date below

    Gap of maybe 1 months....

    4) After effects (July 26th - 27th) Dave you mentioned I should delay after effects for a while. is 1 month enough or should I push this back maybe 3-6 months?

    5) Alternatively:  Illustrator (August 20-21)

    Then a few months (maybe not enough of a gap?) later the advanced version of them all:

    6) After Effects Advanced (October 1st-2nd) Don't know if its ok to do after effects advanced before the other advanced

    7) Premiere pro advanced (October 4th-5th) Same week as After effects advanced

    8) Photoshop advanced (October - 10- 11th October)

    9) Illustrator Advanced (November 22-23rd)

    I realise the advanced courses are in the opposite order of what was recommended for the essentials. is this much of an issue? the dates just happen to be like that so far (unless they add more dates soon down the line then I can put them back in the order of Photoshop,premiere, aftereffects for advanced)

    thanks so much to everyone for helping me plan this mammoth schedule. I'm a little scared looking at it haha I feel its almost there

    I would recommend Photoshop basic before Premiere because Premiere and AE work with Photoshop layers.

    I would start with Photoshop, then Premiere Pro, then After Effects. It would be a very good idea to throw Illustrator into the mix. If you are doing any kind of titling or graphics Illustrator is by far the best place to start that kind of work.

    Thanks for the reply Rick I knew there was an ideal order somehow haha

    I'll definitely aim to do Photoshop then premiere pro then after effects in that order. As I look at the dates for each, as you could probably imagine they dont always align perfectly.

    Just have 3 questions:

    1) There are options where the dates align with Premiere pro being conveniently before photoshop. Would this be an ok compromise or is it definitely to be avoided.

    2) With these courses is it bad to have them back to back? for example one option is to have premiere pro on the 25th-26th then after effects on the 28th-29th. Basically only 1 day between the two. I'm not sure if I should to photo shop and premiere pro and get used to them before attempting after effects =/

    3) thanks for suggesting illustrator! I may definitely throw that into the mix, to be honest I have no idea what illustrator does... I'm not sure what you mean by titling (thats how new I am). Would Illustrator be something I learn after the other 3? Infact there is a package that has Photoshop/Illustrator and indesign (is this worth learning? And if it is, what would be the ideal order of these courses?) 

    I basically built my entire work intranet using paint and Microsoft Visio.Links buttons etc.  I really just want to get a thorough understasnding whats possible to do everything from editing images (intranet) and videos (training videos/ drone footage). I do alot of reports/charts.
