"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."

"- An incredibly knowledgeable, thorough and friendly trainer in Matt Haddock, who comfortably guided the session and ensured that all participants were able to ask questions, with detailed responses and examples always provided.

Lots of examples, tips and tricks and seemed to know where your thoughts would head next so he naturally answered our questions before they happened. Really excellent (and a very soothing voice too!)"
"Live classroom training is my preferred but this was very effective, especially considering digital/online with people at various different levels of understanding."
"Matt was so informative and engaging which isn't easy via Zoom. I learnt so much in such a short amount of time and I really liked how he gave us time to have a go at things ourselves as he was speaking and also time to ask questions as we were going along. The technical set up/support was really helpful before the course started, they even made the effort to check up that I had received all the information and that InDesign was downloaded. Overall very good training."
"Really helpful in building my confidence with using Illustrator techniques that will be relevant to my work, and Matt was super engaging, patient and knowledgeable - thank you!"

"Matt was an amazing teacher - he was helpful, concise and didn't go off on tangents. I was completely engaged with everything we were doing and even though it was an online course, it was just as good as being there in person. The fact that there were only too people were in class was brilliant. The level the training was at was perfect and Matt catered the training to our interests and professions. I learnt much more than i expected to. Thanks so much!"
"Finding newer thinks in illustrator that were new and I didn't know.
For example the image trace tool and Pathfinder divide tool.
And off course drawing sparkly marrows!"
