Great experience with City Desktop Training

David is a very experienced and friendly teacher in the 2 days training, I have no Adobe user experience at all and English is not my first language.
But he is trying his best to take care of his students, it's so amazing to sit in his class to learn his knowledge and hear his story.
Also Tim is super friendly and helpful.
Appreciate the training and it was nice!

"I was unsure whether I could get much from this course as I thought I knew Photoshop quite well, but I was amazed at how much I got from this course. Exceeded every expectation and was thoroughly worthwhile."

Adobe Illustrator

I had no idea how to use Adobe Illustrator before this class and was a little nervous. The after support offered and training is great - I can now go ahead and use it!

Iain was friendly & helpful

Iain was friendly, helpful and explained the concepts of a tricky program (Adobe Animate) in a way that I felt I could follow along very easily. I would recommend these courses to anyone wanting to expand their software knowledge.

InDesign Essentials

David is an awesome trainer, one of the best and explained everything so clearly and we learnt so much over the two days. I felt the course surpassed my expectations and is providing me with skills to make my job so much easier.

Annette was a wonderful instructor who seems like the Guru of After Effects. She was very knowledgeable and presented the course in an easy to understand for beginner and more advanced users. CD facilities are comfortable and overall the best place I have taken any training by far.

I found the training amazing

I found the training amazing. Suddenly the software I thought I knew was open to me in a new way and I felt like I could master it. The trainer adjusted the pace of the training to suit the groups overall experience and things moved pretty quickly. The day flew by leaving me wanting to learn more.

The only way to be at the top of your InDesign game

Half of us sat there with our jaws on the floor for most of the first two days as the instructor showed us efficient and accurate ways of doing processes that once took hours. A fabulous course to build on fundamental knowledge and find ways to make your workflow super quick. Recommend completely.

InDesign Training

InDesign Training
I really enjoyed it, wish it could have covered some advanced subjects such as templates, section breaks, but it was only the Essentials so can't complain.
The trainer was fantastic, answered all our questions and did not seem rushed and was very patient.

A much better workflow...

I did the Essentials course to prepare for the Advanced course as a kind of refresher, and although I had tried many of the techniques we were shown before, the trainer showed us many ways to improve our workflow. I am very excited to put these new skills into practice.

Wonderful trainer

The course convenor was very knowledgeable in Premier Pro and really revolutionised my understanding of the program. I can't wait to put the skills I learned into action in the real world.

Great trainer, great course

Adrian is a really great trainer. Patient, understanding and explains everything really well. I like that we were constantly mirroring his work which solidifies the skills as you're learning.
