Course Reviews
John had great knowledge of the Captivate. I feel confident to start working with the product. Look forward to the Advanced class!
I am completely new to eLearning and have zero experience with any eLearning software. I was needing an overall intro to eLearning and to learn the basics of Adobe Captivate for upskilling. The instructor John was extremely knowledgeable and covered the material very thoroughly. There was a lot of valuable hands-on engagement in this course. I feel like I have learned so much in just two days and am excited to put my knowledge to use.
Antony was a great instructor, very thorough, to the point and aligned the course to our level of competency to keep us engaged and not waffling on too much. I usually struggle to stay interested in a course, however I was interested, engaged and believe that I have learnt a lot of useful information that I will be able to transfer into my current role.
This course gave me a good understanding of the program, and demystified what appeared to be a complex program. I now feel I understand what's going on and how to work with the different tools. I can't wait to start some of my own projects.
