Simon has incredible knowledge of Photoshop and is brilliant at guiding through different solutions for different visual outcomes. The sessions were fun & engaging. He is incredibly passionate about the work he does. For the benefit of those taking the exam it might be worthwhile having a little more structure? That being said we learnt everything that was needed and in a fun way.

An extremely knowledgeable instructor who delivered high quality content in a professional and friendly manner. There were some technical problem with the mock exams (I think there was a problem with the Apple operating system and the version of Adobe Photoshop running). However, my instructor quickly solved the problem and I went on the pass the exam. I was very happy with the overall experience.
