5/5 Stars
The course has been really beneficial to my current job role. I am leaving the course feeling confident and looking forward to practicing my new skills. I was able to ask questions through out where Alan explained the answers thoroughly. He also created new tasks to help me understand areas that I was less confident on.

I had previously carried out this course many years ago, and left feeling disheartened as I struggled to keep up with the pace. However my experience this time has been completely different, I have understood everything and Alan was great at explaining things in a digestible way. The course notes are brilliant and far beyond what I expected. I am leaving this course today feeling confident to take forward what I have learnt.

Brilliant overview for a beginner and incredible knowledge from Alan. Didn't expect the level of detail included and the takeaway materials are hugely helpful.

Very good thorough course for a complete beginner. Felt like we learnt a lot over days and Craig was very knowledgeable about HTML and CSS in relation to email. Craig kept up the motivation even though there was quite a lot of content to take in.
