This was a very useful and informative course. The content was comprehensive but easy to follow with a gradual build up in difficulty enabling a strong understanding. Phil provided an excellent course.

I have been very satisfied from day one. I have been to other course providers previously and cannot say that my experience and well being was so looked after as it was at xchange. Starting from the spacious tables and rooms. The convenience of picking favourite operating system, the latest equipment. The convenience of the dual monitor set up, being able to see i tractors screen at all times, the tea, coffee and snacks, the lunch. But most of all the teacher. I was hoping to get a good teacher, and I got an amazing one. She has proven and provided us with top class training, knowledge and a very well planned course. There wasn’t a moment where the lesson felt boring. I loved the unique learning experience and would totally recommend to people I know.

I really enjoyed the Photoshop course - even though I have used photoshop for years, I was self taught and didn’t know most of what we went through!
