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.

(5.00 out of 5) Sarah R [ 17 August, 2020 ]
I really enjoyed the 3 day course and found everything I learned incredibly useful. It was fantastic having a small class, and getting such personalized help. Which I'm sure would of been the same, even if the class size was bigger. Anne-Marie was very knowledgeable and more importantly calm and could explain herself well and answer our questions in varying ways to help us all understand. I just wished there was more demand in Adelaide for the advanced photoshop course as, personally I learn a whole lot better in a class situation
