I found the course to be very good but as I am a learner that needs to go over things several times I would have liked a lot more time. I have been trying to learn Photoshop from YouTube but found the input in the classroom to far more valuable.

This was well-worth doing!It refreshed skills I already had and taught me valuable new skills that I will use both professionally and personally for the rest of my life! I feel so much more confident in my ability to use Photoshop now!

The course covered a wide variety of elements - it covered more than I feel I will use at work, but it's much appreciated
(5.00 out of 5) Johanna B [ 10 July, 2017 ]
The course was practical and covered all of the basics, with enough time built in to go back and consolidate learning. A consolidated list of the basic function of each tool used in the course might be helpful.
