"Simo was a fantastic teacher and extremely knowledgable. I cannot recommend the course enough. I came into the course not even knowing how to open Photoshop, and I've left the course gaining so many skills. (I especially enjoyed editing the avocado on toast!!). Simo was calm, went at an extremely good pace and cared about each person in the room learning. Thank you!"

I found the opportunity to work on some of my own projects at the end of the session with Simo's support an added bonus that I hadn't expected. I feel really well equipped to do what I need to do with PhotoShop in my day job now. Thank you so much and also to the staff at the centre, particularly Marianne who was extremely friendly and welcoming."
"Media Training Ltd offers a super-chilled environment that made me feel at ease and not daunted by any of the tasks. Simo was absolutely fantastic and I've learnt far more than expected from a beginners level Photoshop course. Would thoroughly recommend Media Training."

"Loved the building, the classes went at an appropriate pace for the level, lots covered but not too much to take in, lots of repetition to commit to memory, but was never boring! Well tailored for the groups' needs based on the uses they would make of it. Brilliant!"
"I feel like we went at such a good pace, explaining the reasoning behind each tool and also the best practise. Simo was incredible, explaining everything in a way that just clicked and for every query he knew exactly what to do. Can't wait to put all these newfound skills to good use."
"Very knowledgeable and friendly trainer who helped every step of the way with some great practical learnings. Also really useful looking at examples of my own work to how to better."
"Taking it step by step and spacing it out over two days was good. There was a lot covered but I was able to take on board a lot of it. Also sending the prompt/support documents also helped as I was able to focus on what Ian, the trainer, was saying rather than having to take notes too."
"Considering COVID measures, everything from entering the communal area to the classrooms was really well managed and thought out. It's really nice to receive lunch and refreshments throughout the day and Simo was a really good trainer. I'll happily come back for the intermediate course!"
"Course Knowledge, New training centre, variety of tea/coffee and milks :)
I really did enjoy the past two days taking part in this course!
Simo was very friendly and approachable, he was very happy to go over points if required. Nothing was too much hassle for him which was great and enabled us all to learn in a comfortable environment.
Jules welcomed us with open arms he was very friendly and I hope to see Media Training bursting with fun and energy very soon!
Looking forward to coming back!"
