What participants say about our courses
Antony is a fabulous teacher. From knowing little, to building brochures is exciting and can be implemented into my role at work immediately. I will be coming back for other courses.
An excellent course that was well-structured, rigorous and with plenty of hands-on practice time. I would recommend it to anyone and think it would suit absolute beginner to advanced novice.
Excellent course. Anthony, the lecturer was easy to follow and the notes are a great reference resource.
Tutor was knowledgeable and covered everything we needed to know, was engaging the whole time and didn’t get the chance to be bored. Loved it.
Excellent, well-paced course. Individual attention given when needed. Highly recommended.
The range of tools we learnt in the limited time we had far exceeded my expectations. Also, the pace we were taught at was perfect. Thank you for your professionalism and expertise.
Antony was a brilliant and engaging teacher. Would look to do more courses with him specifically as his teaching style made the work easy to grasp.
The tutor, Anthony, was calm, patient, knowledgeable and very easy to understand. Made what I thought was going to be a difficult course, really enjoyable. I learnt a lot. Thank you.
I went from having near no knowledge of Photoshop to feeling comfortable enough to teach it myself! This course was great!

Antony was the most patient tutor I have had so far. Highly recommend him.
Antony was great. Very patient and knowledgeable. I will be back to study the course again in the next 6 months as there was a lot of content. I was happy with the amount of content as I was never bored, always learning something new. Just need it to sink in now! Thanks.
