The instructor didn't follow the textbook directly with the pre-created examples, but rather had us recreate them directly which was excellent.

slow and methodical, step by step, easy to follow, fabulous to do exercises from scratch so lessons really sink in. Lots of review, so again, plenty of opportunity to sink in.

Super! I had a course just for myself. Was very happy because I flyed in here. Thank you very much for that :))) My Instructor was very cool and very experienced.

I have never used Illustrator before so this is great to get a feel for how i can use this back in the office. It will be hard to remember everything learnt but great we get the training manual to take with us.
