  "I really appreciated Simon checking in a lot to see how we were doing, they had a lot of patience and were reassuring if we'd missed or didn't understand something! All of the examples were made relevant to our specific interests and roles. I also really valued understanding a bit of the history/evolution of HTML & CSS coding as well as touching on how certain elements are important for visually impaired users, which is something I hadn't given much thought to prior to this course. Simon was also willing to take the time to expand upon certain elements which I liked as it made the training not feel rigid or monotonous."

  "Vicki was great at helping us solve problems individually and re-explaining when we got confused with complex steps. It made the course feel like a welcoming safe environment to learn."

  "The timings were ideal, with blocks of approx 1hr 15 mins of learning, then a break. Two days felt right. Tasks felt as though they were (where possible) real-world examples. One of the best tasks was being taught how to draw a mug and a tea cup and having the 'finished' example at the top of the page. I think this could be used more across other courses because sometimes as a learner it's hard to know the aim/point of a task when you're being talked through it. Vicky was really good at explaining what we were going to be doing/aiming for before we started each task, which gave it more meaning and it made more sense. Everything felt manageable, even though the second day progressed to more difficult tasks. It was helpful to learn the AI elements within Illustrator as I didn't know they were a feature. The drawing tasks were really helpful. Vicky was so well prepared, keen to help and clearly loves what she does. The additional notes about each day's learning highlighted this and shows she understands how people learn and remember. It was also helpful that she has experience across other Adobe programs (e.g. InDesign, Bridge)."

  "A very wide range of skills was covered over the two days. Vicki went above and beyond to even make us summary notes to help us after the course was finished. The amount of resources is also very helpful to allow us to keep practising once the course is finished, so we do not forget everything we learnt. It was all very much appreciated!"
