What others say.

  • I flew 14 hours to get to this class, seriously, that’s how keen/desperate I was to learn the content of this course. The class did not disappoint, it covered what was outlined from the blurb on the website in the most time-effective and professional manner. Our tutor was nothing short of amazing, engaging everyone in the class with his humour and knowledge. So for getting started with LightRoom, this class I would highly recommend.

  • The course was fantastic! I now feel really equipped to dive headfirst into Adobe Lightroom, despite having never used it before my course. The tutor was brilliant - - was super helpful and knew the stuff – so knowledgeable! The venue was also fantastic – so central and close to parking, transport and delicious lunch options. I would definitely recommend this course, the tutor and the venue.
