The course was very useful and tony was a great trainer. The combination of learning and interaction was valuable as I came away knowing a lot more about how to use Captivate.

The fact that John was able to customise the course for us. Also, that he was able to give us a lot of tips and tricks (especially in regards to setting up our projects)

Training course was fantastic, covered everything that we need to create our own training courses. Very valuable and I would definitely recommend this to any one who is creating their own packages.

It was great to get some wholistic information about instructional design process as well as the course content. I think the course was taught well... as a beginner I need a lot of practice. There was a lot of content and I hope my notes will be able to trigger memory. If not can use instructional videos as recommended by John. Thank you John for the course!
