It was great to catch up again on the Captivate training and to refresh parts of the programme I had not used for quite some time. This has given me a greater confidence in using the software for my future eLearning projects. Craig is a confident trainer and explains how to use the system clearly and patiently. He was also really helpful resolving troubleshooting whilst learning remotely. Thank you.

We did our course remotely due to coronavirus - Craig did a fantastic job under challenging circumstances. I've put 'satisfactory' for a few of the answers... these were out of your control due to the nature of the course.

Craig was great, an affable chap who kept things relaxed and humorous against the context of learning a system. Although I have a reasonable grasp of Captivate from version 7, I feel like I now understand the system 20 times better and it will enhance my output. Thanks Craig for a great couple of days.

I've been building on Captivate for 2 yrs (on and off) using you tube, a book and google. The course has reassured me in what I'm doing right but mainly given me so manly quick hits which will give me so much build time back

Craig had excellent knowledge of the system. Only things to comment on - sharing of frustrations and what the software can't do, rather than can (making us nervous about the product), going off piece and then last day running late at the end of the day, swears a lot - fine for me, I guess just knowing audience.
