Superb!
Arrived at the Animate course without any experience or knowledge. Apart from coming away with key knowledge to take away and get going - John customised the examples to fit my purpose/reason for undertaking the course. I'm very appreciative of this.
His teaching style focuses on the integrity of learning best practice with an emphasis on making sure the thinking behind the action is equally as important as the outcome/deliverable. He's generous with imparting his experience and knowledge in a practical/application way.
Thank you!
