Would be good to contact us prior to the training to find out if there is anything specific we would like to learn on the course so we can have a think about it before. I thought it would already have a rigid structure so didn't research into what I would have liked to learn.

Phil is an excellent instructor. He gives us pause to write down notes and try things out on our computer. He explains concepts in an easily-digestible way and really helps me to understand the fundamentals such as layer masks and introduces me to a non-destructive workflow. Very professional and engaged throughout. Highly recommended!

The course was fantastic. We got off to a rocky start which was due to technical issues on my part and Alan was nothing but helpful and reassuring. I understood everything he was taking me through and anything I wasn't following him on, I quickly asked and he went through it again from the top which was massively helpful. Thank you very much once again!

Doug was a thorough trainer who shared a lot of experience and knowledge throughout the 2 days. He was easy to understand and helpful in answering any questions I had. In terms of course structure, it's very comprehensive and I've learnt a lot about Photoshop which should help me in my marketing role/ beyond.

For me personally, less time on filters and more time going through the steps of selecting an item and using q mode. Everyone is going to be different!

5/5 Stars
I thought the course was very very good and I am incredibly happy with my experience. Doug clearly has all the knowledge and was incredibly insightful and likeable. My one comment would be that I feel like there is some time wasted when going through features such as filters. I think these sections could just be easily explored on your own and there is no need to go through every ingle one as a class, Similar for adjustments. Think this time could be spent learning a few other bit and potentially just pluck out the best / most important ones / the ones that are hardest to understand or use. However despite this all in all I am very happy, so a massive thank you.

Very good course, went at a great pace and covered many different aspects of photoshop. Doug was fantastic! Will definitely be using Xchange in the future should I need to do anymore courses.

4/5 Stars
Doug was fantastic and the course was great. There are just a couple of things that I think could have improved my experience. 1. A longer course - although I learnt a great deal and am far more advanced in my knowledge, I still feel like there's more that we could have gone over in terms of how to use different tools and linking practices i.e. not just learning what things are and how to use them but also examples of how to use them with other tools for better results 2. Linked to the above, a slower pace and more time for practice rounds - Photoshop is quite complex and there's a lot to get your head around - more time to practice in between learnings would have been really helpful in terms of knowledge retention. Extending the course by a day or two or even an earlier start/later finish time would have been really useful. But as I say, Doug (& Adam) were great and I had a really good few days, nothing was too much trouble for them and I learned a great deal - thank you so much!

Phil was extremely helpful and patient dealing with technical difficulties and disruptions. I was impressed by his ability to ensure that both in-person and remote participants received immediate assistance. I also appreciated the many "tips" and short-cuts that Phil shared with the group as well as his sensitivity in ensuring that we had the time we needed to make notes of so much good information.

I like the pace at which the course moves / how the tools we will use the most are the ones best covered / learning shortcuts and time savers / education into other areas such as photography that are relevant to the programme

The course content was great and Doug did an excellent job introducing us to all Photoshop tools and giving us alternative ways of doing things. I found the course very informative and I definitely have a much better understanding of the tool now that I had two days ago.

very useful for using within my business... what I did like was that Susannah allowed time for us to practice during the session... this meant we could ask questions if we were unsure....this helped me to retain what I learnt better than any other course I've attended.

Lots of content worked into two days which was manageable and interesting. Did not feel overwhelming and the instructor was willing to help at any time. Also helped to have a book to takeaway and recap on any of the areas.

A really good introduction. Susannah is an excellent tutor with a very good teaching style - communicating complex tasks in an easy-to-follow way. A good balance of learning between viewing on-screen and practical application through exercises. A lot of detail to fit into two days but hopefully I'll retain most of it! I would definitely recommend this course.
