"There was a lot of useful information provided as well as tips and tricks that can be implemented into every day work. I really enjoyed the instructor and found that he had very good examples and was very engaging during discussions. I didn't feel at any point that I was ready for the day to end, in fact I almost wished that the course would go on for a bit longer!"

"The course was brilliant. The trainer was really enthusiastic and knowledgeable. It was a great mix of theory and practice and a nice mix of individual work and teamwork. It has made me really interested in graphic design where I wasn't necessarily before. I brief designers but now want to do more of it myself because of the course. I realised I am not as bad at design as I thought I might be. Thank you for a great course."

"Simon was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to help with any queries we had amongst the team. I liked that we were a fairly small group, that meant Simon could give tailored advice with niche requests. Extremely helpful course, I'm going away with much more confidence and far more knowledge than when I entered. Would highly recommend this course and Simon as a tutor."

"The trainer (Ian) was very approachable and friendly - you felt comfortable asking him any questions or going over anything you'd missed first time. He has given me lots of good ideas that I'll definitely use at work. This course really usefully supplements Media Training's InDesign courses. I'd recommend doing it between your InDesign: Introduction and InDesign: Intermediate courses. The course is well paced, with well-timed breaks and lunch. Although I particularly liked your previous centre as it was so funky and full of character, the new centre is as good as it can be. Very spacious and airy, very clean, great views!"
