Student Reviews
Really enjoyed the opportunity to resit this course. Having a different trainer was great as I learnt new things and I was able to practice other steps. Really enjoyed that he followed the activities in the manual as I was able to check it if I got lost and was able to do the whole activity again which helped cement a lot of the tools functions.
Second time doing this course and found it very beneficial to pick up little tips and tricks i didn't retain from the last time around. Difficult at times with so many people and everyone had different tech, and user abilities but it was handled well by John.
Thank you for this course. It was very helpful to learn how to navigate the interface. Being new to Adobe, my main challenge was having a different workspace setup to the facilitators and sometimes taking longer to locate the tool on my own interface but used the search function to assist.
John provided really hands on, useful tools which I will be able to apply to my work. It was a great general overview of the application but also honed in on some specific areas which he believed would be of most value. He also was extremely patient with some good humour/entertainment.
