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.
(5.00 out of 5) Guy I [ 17 November, 2016 ]
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.
