Great course but not enough advanced topics selected for someone already working in the graphic design industry.
Marte was an excellent teacher who provided her time and effort to teach us the ropes of Photoshop. I have learnt several new techniques and whenever I had a question, Marte was more than happy to answer them. I would definitely recommend this course to others.
Clean concise course that will get any novice up to scratch with Photoshop. Wide range of topic areas that are covered and a lot of detail provided. Would recommend it again to anyone looking to increase their skill set.
Marte was absolutely amazing! I was enrolled into the course for work - I admittedly came into the course with very low expectations as I have had a couple of years experience with Photoshop however, I found the course to be very useful in making my processes more efficient and time-effective. I was already learning useful things less than 15 minutes into the first lesson. Definitely a positive experience and an amazing & passionate tutor!
I had an amazing time with Cres! Was lucky enough to have her all to myself and she adapted the course to suit my professional needs. I have learnt an immense amount and have thoroughly enjoyed doing it. Wish I could come back tomorrow and do it all again! Thanks so much Cres!!
The course was very different as a resit. Other ways of using photoshop were used which was great. Doug explained everything very well and communicated personal work arounds that really helped.
Great in depth evaluation of all the tools and techniques with various ways to achieve the same outcome. Cressida is very knowledgeable and a fantastic teacher!
Cressida explained everything extremely well and is amazing. The different modules in the workshop were very organised. I learnt so much more about Photoshop.
Loved the course. As there was only two of us in the class Marte really tailored the course to our needs which was what we both wanted. She was very knowledgeable and took the time to talk us through anything we didn't quite understand. Would definitely take another course if she was teaching it.
Great course, that definitely filled in the gaps in my Photoshop knowledge. Marte was an informative and fun teacher. Being in a small class also meant we could move at a faster pace, and focus particularly on areas of interest and weakness.
I very much enjoyed the course and a learned some valuable new skills I will be able to use in my daily work.
Great course, I have learnt lots of valuable tips that I will be able to apply both in a professional and personal capacity.
It was great to reiterate what was learned in the first half of the Photoshop course, and well as play with all the more advanced options for Photoshop. Marte was great once again, lovely, friendly and patient. Have recommended the course to family and friends.
Because we had such a small class size Marte tailored this course to suit our needs. She asked us what topics we would like her to cover. She had all the answers! A+
Really enjoyable, learnt some amazing tricks that will save me time and Panadol! Enjoy tutors teaching style, thanks again Marte :)
