I found this course extremely helpful and a great way to kick start my skills in Photoshop. Our instructor (Andy) was amazing, providing real life examples and went beyond the text book to teach us further detail and examples. I cannot wait to start applying this in my career and spare time. I will recommend this training institution and Andy to others.

As a never-used-photoshop ever before, I was easily able to follow along and complete the exercises with ease. he provided very practical applications and his own experience was invaluable.
