Course Reviews
Thanks so much for allowing me to resit in today's session with John. This is my second course with John and I love how he tailors the course to suit the people in the session so we apply our learning in context. There is a lot of content in this course, I would recommend the two days be split to allow practice before building on complexity. Maybe even have some homework between sessions.
John was excellent. Very patient and encouraging and really made the training relevant to our needs. I found this training very beneficial.
This course was better than I was expecting. It didn't just cover the basics it dove deeper into the program, and I learnt so much that was valuable to want I need to use it for. The instructor was able to touch on skills that of particular use to my need.
The course was great, Antony a good teacher, so much relevance to my work, enjoyed the using all the tools in Ilustrator and impressed with how much it can do e.g. maps, drawings and changing images to vector was great to learn. Thanks again, Kaye
