Great, really comprehensive course. We covered all essentials and received very useful tips to work efficiently and effectively on InDesign. Loved Simon's attitude and how the training flowed - and I highly appreciated the idea of focusing on creating something on our own. I think it would have been nice to have some time, even 5 mins each, to look at our projects and get feedback but nonetheless it was a great experience and I am confident I can now work autonomously on the software.

My instructor, Allen, was very knowledgeable and keen to help us when we got stuck. However I found the pace too fast and didn't always feel comfortable asking for a recap when I missed things. Allen having his camera on might have helped with this, as remote delivery can lack that personal connection you need to feel comfortable asking for help.

The trainer, Allen, was extremely patient and knowledgeable. I have come away from the course feeling a lot more confident in using the InDesign Software.
