If graphic artists spent their time looking for clients who are seeking their ability they would never find any work. Besides this isn't about ability its about the program that wil be used for the work. If an artist doesn't know how to use a specific program, its not a reflection of their ability. It simply means they're not familiar with the program but can still be quite capable of doing the work.
That being said however it is a good idea to become familiar with Illustrator at the very least Shayotto because Illustrator is an industry standard for vector artwork (specifically logo design). Also Illustrator converts easier into the other formats.
You're almost never going to get 100% conversion when converting to Photoshop. I don't know why but it just is. You can come close though. Here's what I advise.
You can download photoshop and illustrator each for a free 30 day trial at adobe.com. Do one at a time don't dl them at the same time because it will shorten the time you have with each one. There are thousands of free beginner tutorials on the internet for both programs. Use them to familiarize yourself with them.
You probably don't have the time to do that for this project but it's something you can do later. As far as converting the files it can be done. From Corel to Illustrator you should first save a file to the Corel EPS format. Then you can import it to Illustrator. Another way is to convert the Corel file to a fully editable PDF document and you can open it right up in either Illustrator or Photoshop and work from there.
If it doesn't convert you might try doing a legacy EPS save in Corel first. Make sure the Illustrator is version CS2 and up. If you dl the free trial it will be CS5.5 so you're ok there.
Good Luck
