Participants can adapt these exercises to their own projects, or use them as inspiration for completely different ways to creatively use the new properties, selectors and values they have learnt.

Course Reviews
The exercises and examples were very good. The course went at a good pace and the instructor was very open to questions.
Excellent content. Cath was very knowledgeable and covered a lot of extra material specific to our requirements.
Very useful course - Cath had a great teaching style using very interest examples to highlight all of the aspects of CSS. She was very patient in answering questions and followed up when she didn't know the answer immediately. Overall highly recommended.
Excellent! Very informative. Instructor was more than happy to go off-topic to explain concepts and cover additional content.
