Really good training course, Phil was great and full of knowledge and happy to share. Also reiterated for us to get in touch with him after the session if there's anything we need in the future. Feel much more confident to use InDesign now and know what I'm doing on it. Thank you! Would just say it would be better to have more lunch options included but Phil explained why there isn't - could be something to relook at.

I had a great time on the course, I learnt so much and came away ready to start using InDesign within my job. Phil, my instructor was absolutely wonderful. He was so helpful, organised and kind and most importantly a great teacher. His method of teaching was great, he had so much knowledge about the software and was also great with making sure we fully understood each step before moving forward to the next. Couldn't have asked for a better training course and couple of days. I would highly recommend.

The course was excellently structured and delivered, explaining processes in detail and providing examples and exercises to practise and perfect using the software. I particularly liked how each method we learnt was applicable to the next; summarised by the exercise which put together everything we learnt.

Allan was great, so knowledgeable and very patient. Quickly put a workaround in for me when I wasn't able to download the course files sent the day prior to the course starting because of organisational restrictions. Admin guidance was to download the files to my personal laptop but this didn't help because the course files were then on a different machine to my InDesign and Zoom. Thanks to Allan for making sure I could still participate.

Thank you so much for a great two days! I feel so much more confident with InDesign. Alan was very helpful and took time to explain things and go back to any steps we'd missed, while still staying to schedule. If there was one thing that would have made it even better for me it would've been more breaks in the morning and afternoon blocks, as I found the screen time and sustained focus quite intense. But overall a brilliant, well planned and delivered course!

Very good course, the first two days were a great introduction to InDesign and I learnt a lot from Donna. The course didn't feel overly long each day and Donna was very good at explaining everything and making sure that no-one was left behind. The advanced course was more mixed and it felt like it was one size fits all but would prefer if there were more specific ones for print/digital/animated content rather than bundled together. Also having people join for the second two days that hadn't done the first two days we went back over content that had already been covered so they could do this.

Phil, the trainer was the most knowledgeable, personable and expert trainer I have ever experienced - and I've done a lot over the years! I couldn't fault him. He had such a good way of teaching and conducted a fast pace to get through all the topics but not so fast that you couldn't keep up, and when you needed him to pause in case you missed a step, he would quickly go over the step again. He had a great method and mannerism to teaching too and keep each delegate encouraged. His use of easy to understand descriptions of even the most technical task helped delegates understand and his friendly mannerism kept you focused. He handled the whole class of various abilities in an even and fair way, so even slightly slower ones like me wouldn't feel inferior. Well done for that Phil! And now I feel the knowledge and understanding I have gained on Adobe Illustrator advanced has equipped me for life. I also feel so much more confident and can't wait to start using my advanced skills on a daily basis. Thank you so much. Maria
