What I would highlight: Extremely proficient teacher who changed the course as per our necessities and interests. Was exceptionally excited and a communicated well. The course is just two days so is fairly escalated. I can comprehend why it is just two days as it expands on past courses, however we as a whole felt rather tired...in a decent way.

What I would highlight: I had signed up for the four day InDesign training programme. Having done the first two-day Yellow Belt programme, which I found intriguing and incredibly useful. The instructor was fantabulous; he set a great speed and was very knowledgeable. The facilities were great too. My decision to do the course has been one of the best I have made this year and I am really looking forward to the Green Belt course in February. I would suggest Academy Class to anyone. Obliged.
