I found the 3 days training with Alan extremely useful and pleasant. Alan is an excellent communicator and very patient, I didn't always get things first time. He set clear expectations for what we were going to cover and zoomed in and out of different topics, making sure we mastered a few key concepts well while still giving us a flavour for all the possibilities. We covered the basics of Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign in a short time.

As the training took place on our premises I have not commented on facilities, lunch and it equipment. Our instructor Sophia was very knowledgeable and passionate about the training. She was able to alter the training to take into account what we wanted to achieve.

Paul was extremely knowledgeable about the Adobe software. He presented the material and adobe functions in such a way that made it understandable, approachable, and exciting all at the same time. I would highly recommend Paul Southern as in instructor for any/all Adobe training programs.

Very good experience and certainly a good way to learn the basics. Only criticism would be that to save on time and to get the most of the course, i felt that we focused a lot on "what not to do" areas instead of just showing us the areas we needed to focus on for our specific requirements.
