My course was great. I appreciated the teacher's expertise and willingness to answer any question. The best thing was that the class size was limited to six, meaning everyone had a chance to speak up.

Our tutor was so patient and the lesson was structured so that you revised and carry out small tasks independently to memorise and learn. I've come away far more confident and supported. Cheers Transmedia!

Our tutor was great, he really knew Photoshop inside out and taught us different ways to achieve what we needed to and paused whenever one of us had a question to talk us through it again.
