I found the course excellent as an introduction to Captivate. Information provided was relevant. Instructors subject knowledge was excellent. Would be good if you could provide some form of software purchase arrangement with Adobe

This has been so very valuable. John was able to customise the content to suit my individual needs. I look forward to putting all my learning into action, and will no doubt come again to revisit the course. So much to learn in a 2 day timeframe. John was very patient and did not hesitate to repeat and encourage me to grasp the concepts.
