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 appreciated Doug's approach, which was to explain the concepts rather than just whiz us through likely exam questions (as I've had in other training elsewhere in the past!) He was very reassuring, clearly knew his stuff, didn't mind admitting the bits that were new to him, and was great in fostering an environment where we felt free to ask questions and digress on interesting topics. It was great.

This course definitely provided me with an introduction into the world of photoshop. As a beginner in the field, I can comfortably take what I have learned with Simon and apply it to my practise at home. I know that if I do have any issues, i can get in contact with ease. I look forward to my next class on Illustrator in a couple of weeks time!

i have only put down instructor knowledge as very satisfactory and not excellent as there were a few things re photoshop that even suprised Doug - i think this is very normal as photoshop will always suprise you, re what he taught us his knowledge was excellent.
