Great 2 day course. Our instructor was really good - patient, clear and informative. Everything was well organised. The small class size was great, it was well-paced and the content easy to follow.

Our trainer was so helpful - it was really good having it tailor made for exactly what I was doing. I literally just used what he taught me for a piece of artwork that I didn't know how to do before!

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.
