What participants say about our courses

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.

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 very patient, and a great instructor. I had a great time in this course and can't wait to delve into it at work.

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.

This is my second course with Antony. He’s a great teacher.

Excellent course. Anthony, the lecturer was easy to follow and the notes are a great reference resource.

Another awesome course with the great Antony Brown! Thank you yet again.

Antony is a fantastic teacher and is very patient.

This course was everything I expected it to be and more. Antony was a great tutor and made sure we understood every aspect. Now all I need to do is practice, practice, practice.

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.

Antony was really great, extremely helpful, knowledgeable and knew when to let us drive for a bit ourselves. I have already recommended the course to a couple of people I know from film school as it is such great value for dollar. Thanks again!

Instructor was very capable and able to keep all the participants on track – even though abilities were varied. Very patient.

This is my second course with Antony. He’s a great teacher.

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.

Antony was a great teacher, he took the time to ensure everyone was on the same page. Great teaching skills! I had a really good time and felt like I learnt more in 2 days than most people do in weeks. Thank you!

Excellent, well-paced course. Individual attention given when needed. Highly recommended.

I found the teacher to be so lovely and importantly very patient with the many questions that were thrown at him.

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.

It was a great course. Anthony has a great way of explaining complex techniques with ease and confidence. The room and the equipment was well maintained making the course a pleasure to attend.
