5/5 Stars
I had quite specific requirements regarding Adobe Express training, with certain areas not needing coverage, with other areas needing more so. Donna highlighted where we should be focussing and provided a very thorough training session, answering any questions I had immediately. I couldn't ask for better. I left feeling much more comfortable with my new found knowledge.

My course experience was great. Very central venue which was easy for my team to get to. A comfortable, creative environment to learn in. And Simon was really knowledgable and helpful throughout the day's learning. I am leaving with new knowledge that I look forward to putting into practice once back at work. A very worthwhile day.

Phil was so enthusiastic and helpful to the gorup, we went through it together and we were able to ask questions, go back to parts to clarify. Good structure of the day with breaks and nice informal setting. Only criticism was the content was quite basic but this is due to the branding restrictions.

Phil provided great overview into the capabilities of Adobe Express and what was possible. Although we were somewhat limited by our Brand guidelines and what was possible, Phil made the session engaging and was extremely friendly.
