"This theory-based course worked well online, with a great presentation, relevant examples and exercises that we could do remotely. Rich was really knowledgeable, shared a lot of skills/tools that I will be able to use in the future and was happy to answer any questions. It was also useful to be shown specific exercises that I can do after the course, to build on what I learnt."
"Rich was a really good trainer. Very friendly and engaging. He pitched the content at just the right level and explained things very clearly. He also listened to my questions and answered them helpfully. Also really pleased with Rosie who very helpfully enabled me to attend the course, and Alex who helpfully tested that my IT would work. Overall, very pleased with the whole experience, thanks!"
"Rich was able to answer all my questions well, using examples to ensure I understood each point. He was very knowledgeable and his presentation was engaging, informative and interesting. I will definitely recommend Rich!"
"Small class sizes were great, and it was helpful to be able to discuss points as a group as we went along. Also good that the course materials are available electronically rather than taking notes."
"Adrian was an excellent trainer. He was so knowledgable about the topic but made sure to keep the session open to all levels. Excellent presentation and fun, interactive exercises which kept the afternoon engaging."
"Great organisation and a very knowledgable tutor. theory of graphic design was very interesting and I feel that my skills had a good refresher which will help me approach graphic design projects betetr."
"I was extremely happy that the course did not focus on a specific software package. Every staff member was really helpful and the breaks were regular and really well stocked which was great. It was also very easy to follow the directions and find the location."
"Flexible, good amounts of learning, listening and discussion, breaks at appropriate times. Inspired to get stuck in designing now and confident in working with designers. Facilities here were great too."
"Everything else - spot on. really like the signs on the tables with how things work and decoration, room set-up and general design really nice. Adrian was a great trainer - very expert, went at our pace and showed loads of inspiring examples. Feel I have a very good overview of lots of aspects - much food for thought!"
"The offer itself (learning about the fundamental principles of design in a short course) is really unique. This was exactly what i needed to feel more confident in my role. It was great to learn about design tools, rules, tricks and approaches that i will be able to apply to any creative project - without being specific to particular software or formats (print, digital, social etc.)."
"Great location, nice venue, good food! Trainer and course content was good, answered lots of questions we had. Really good it was a small group, friendly and a good number to work with."
"I thoroughly enjoyed my day from start to finish, from what I learned in the classroom to what was served for lunch and during the breaks! I have learned so much that I will be able to implement in my own work as well as in the work I do with my students."
"Very clear and thorough, patient course-leader. Thank you so much! I know where to go for more information and I feel I have covered all the basics. As always, the whole day was professional, friendly and calm; like a second work-place."
"Adrian was knowledgeable and friendly, with a good pace on the topics covered. I would be interested in attending other training courses in the future."
"Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful from the second i walked through the door, our trainer was very knowledgeable and i have learnt a lot from this one day course! - hopefully i can now go and apply this to my role. thank you!"
"It was a great day, giving great insight into the world of graphic design! The trainer was fantastic, very knowledgeable with some great tips for websites reference points etc. He really cared about what we wanted based on our individual jobs, and tailored the content to this. It was great. Thank so much."
"Everyone was super friendly and welcoming and the format for the day allowed lots of time to get to know the people also on the course. Booking and confirmation was very clear and instructions were great. It's also really useful to have access to the course notes afterwards so you didn't have to take many notes."
"The whole experience was great, really lovely environment and a great welcome when arriving. Adrian was really knowledgable and a fantastic communicator, he was more than happy to go into more detail or go of on tangents if we had any questions. thoroughly enjoyed the course!"
"The course was very engaging and informative, going over an approach and being able to take that information and start applying to day-to-day projects has been empowering. Adrian's knowledge and delivery was very good and he is an effective communicator. Thank you."
"Lunch was fab, really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the Vicki, our trainer, and her ability to step outside of the course outlines to talk about what was relevant to us and help us where we particularly needed it. I feel very inspired."
"No complaints. All brilliant. Great teacher - everything very clearly explained, happy to answer questions. Great equipment, software etc. Helpers very friendly and nice too. I particularly like the fact that we can ring you afterwards, if we struggle to recall any of what we have learned."
