I will definitely recommend it to friends and colleagues. I'm very excited to go home (wait until Black Friday) and then get started on Adobe Premiere Pro. I feel very equipped to deal with basic video shooting and editing in a professional setting and think the course was very thorough and, as I say, well taught."
