I done the Adobe Illustrator zero to hero in February – the trainer Mark was fantastic. Small class sizes mean you can get 1-1 attention and go over things a few times. The venue is good, they provide luncheon vouchers and unlimited tea, coffee and biscuits

Illustrator Zero to Hero – Highly recommended!
I completed the Illustrator Zero to Hero with Ian Gilbert. Although I had never used the software before, Ian was able to teach me all that I needed to know in order to pass the ACA exam.
Having worked as a trainer myself, I can only recommend Ian, who was happy to answer all my questions, and trust me I had plenty. With his knowledge, passion for the subject, and support for all of us, Ian managed to teach us a huge amount of engaging material, in a short period of time. I am confident using the software now and I cannot wait to start creating work with my newly found skills. Highly recommended.
