Very informative! I was able to learn the basics so I can create flyers and such for my job. I would have liked to go a little more in-depth but that's probably what the 3 or 5-day course is for. The instructor was very knowledgeable!

Reviewed by Rebecca W. on 10/8/2019

Great info, but a little slow paced. Would have been nice to receive parking info ahead of time.

Reviewed by Youssra M. on 7/21/2017

We had an amazing teacher, very available, friendly and pedagogue. Outstanding support (many brand new computers with MAC or Windows) Too bad it was freezing in the room because of the AC Thank you
