I really appreciated Doug's approach, which was to explain the concepts rather than just whiz us through likely exam questions (as I've had in other training elsewhere in the past!) He was very reassuring, clearly knew his stuff, didn't mind admitting the bits that were new to him, and was great in fostering an environment where we felt free to ask questions and digress on interesting topics. It was great.

This course definitely provided me with an introduction into the world of photoshop. As a beginner in the field, I can comfortably take what I have learned with Simon and apply it to my practise at home. I know that if I do have any issues, i can get in contact with ease. I look forward to my next class on Illustrator in a couple of weeks time!

i have only put down instructor knowledge as very satisfactory and not excellent as there were a few things re photoshop that even suprised Doug - i think this is very normal as photoshop will always suprise you, re what he taught us his knowledge was excellent.

Phil was very engaging and knowledgeable. He was patient with questions answering immediately if necessary but holding back when appropriate as answers would come in at a more logical point. Previously, I had no experience at all with Photoshop but now feel confident navigating and using the interface and would even explore other features based on what I have learnt over the last two days.

I really enjoyed the 2 day beginner's course, and although I had some knowledge of Photoshop, I definitely learnt a lot of new things. I also now understand why certain features work the way they do, and that you can combine multiple tools to create certain outcomes. I felt that I was able to ask any question and that Doug knew the answers, or if he wasn't sure, he tried to figure it out to help me.
