Antony, was the most professional teacher, with his very calming and patience presence, he explained each step of Adobe Photoshop, very clearly and concise. He gave you a number of options to learn a skill, which gave me a vast knowledge and experience to create amazing and innovative designs. I have Antony again, in a couple of weeks to learn Adobe InDesign, I am looking forward to be taught by him. I highly recommend him as a trainer, you will gain advanced skills and be very knowledgable with Adobe software programs.
