Great course. Andy (instructor) included valuable industry specific tricks and tools to make the course relevant, real and applicable. Whilst this is an intensive course that covers a lot of ground, I feel confident that I have the basic tools to build upon to develop my skills. Fantastic facilities and all staff are friendly and professional. Thanks Andy - your patience and willingness to share your knowledge is greatly appreciated.

This is my second course with Anne-Marie,
I am a self taught hobbyist for Photoshop with some advanced technique and skills behind me, Anne-Marie was still able to show me different ways to use Photoshop, how to use tools and various ways to obtain the results i want to achieve. Highly recommended to any skill of Photoshop users.
