"Everything was great. I found it really beneficial learning with others in the classroom as everyone contributed some issues they have had in the past which made it really useful going through and finding out solutions. Learning in a small sized class really helped with getting some 1-2-1 time with the tutor too."

"Trainer is very knowledgeable, super helpful, patient and attentive to students' needs. That's very good, he is very understanding and willing to do extra to ensure students learn the core from the course. He even offers to stay behind after the course to answer questions. I truly appreciate it. Besides, he did have a very good structure of the training. There are a lot of things that Photoshop can do, but he managed to extract the core to share and prioritize the importance for us. And he is mindful of not using too much jargons. Excellent training structure and presentation and client-focused. Can't recommend Matt more. One of the best trainers. Thank you."
