A fantastic course, the instructor was extremely knowledgeable and set the right pace for the group. He continually checked understanding and whether we had any questions. Good to have content/examples relating to our role e.g. creation of banners that align to Barclays new Brand Expression as well hints and tips on the key features of Photoshop. The key now is putting the training into practice and embedding in our everyday role.

I really enjoyed the one day photoshop course. The instructor was so friendly and knowledgable and the day flew by! I would definitely sign up to another course if needed as I felt comfortable asking any questions and speaking, which isn’t always the case with external courses.

Alan was great at explaining every step throughout the day. When I was stuck, he took me back to step one and made sure that I followed the instructions as best as I could. His knowledge was very in depth and all in all, was a really enjoyable course. I have taken many skills away from the day. Thank you!

Very personable and knowledgeable instructor, went at a pace that suited every candidate. It was good to be able to take the course via Zoom and it worked really well, Phil was still able to help anyone that was struggling despite not being in the same room. An excellent overall experience.

Phil was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The course went at a good pace for me as a beginner. It would be good if there was a takeaway that had some high level notes to refer to later and some practice tests so we can put the new knowledge to test and make the learning stick.

5/5 Stars
The training was great, Phil was very enthusiastic and delivered it at a perfect pace. It was very hands on as we worked alongside him and we packed loads in rather than spending loads of time in between sessions with intros etc which was great. Two of my colleagues are taking the course next month and I will be praising Phil and the course highly to them.

Whilst I thoroughly enjoyed the course, have taken a lot away from it and the instructor knowledge was great, I would have preferred a walk through approach where we all learned and then practiced a technique as a group (as we did with the beginner Illustrator course). The approach this time was more the instrcutor showing us, and whilst we had the opportunity to copy it was difficult to listen and act at the same time, and one person in the group with no knowledge of design whatsoever really struggled and left part way through the day, and his struggles held back the rest of the group (he definitely should have done some basic research and tried to use the PS before he booked onto the course though as it made it very difficult for Doug).

I was kept engaged throughout and learned so much, more than I expected, all of which I will totally be able use - just hope I remember it. Definitely keep you in mind for further training and recommend you as a company whenever the opportunity arises. Honestly I genuinely really enjoyed it, thank you!

The Photoshop training was pitched really well. I felt that it was understandable for those with no previous experience, but even having used Photoshop extensively before the training, I learned a number of very useful tips, and also discovered much more efficient ways to use the software which I wasn't aware of before.

Course was excellent and very well taught/presented. I started the course with no knowledge at all and feel now, with some practice, that I should easily become proficient at its use. Phil, the trainer, was very good at explaining and demonstrating the software. He had very comprehensive knowledge and passion for the software.

Phil was a great & friendly tutor and the course was really well paced over the two days. We covered lots of different aspects of the programme. Remote learning using "Zoom" worked really effectively with Phil's shared screen and it was easy for us to ask questions. It was a fantastic refresher course for me and I learnt lots of new tools & techniques. Would highly recommend!

Doug was a great tutor, very knowledgeable and patient. All the skills and tools were were taught clearly and concisely. I completed the course remotely and this worked really well. I felt no disadvantage from face to face class based, as we were able to share screens and I could get extra support where needed. In fact doing this course from the comfort of your own home was nice! I would definitely recommend XChange training without any hesitation.

The 2 day course was excellent. Mr Gatter clearly took on board our requirements during the firat day, so the second day was much more taylored to what we do. One minor thing which would have helped though would have been a bigger cursor. It was very hard to see which boxes/drop down menues were being checked as he took us through various features of the softwear on the projected screen.
