This course has been amazing.
The amount I have learnt in such a short time is brilliant.
Can't wait to come back!
I really enjoyed the 15 week course and have gained confidence and skills I didn't have when I first started the course.
Glen has a lot of patience and always willing to help and guide others and encouraged to push ourselves a little further.
I am hoping to enrol onto the next steps course and very much looking forward to expanding my skills and creativity during the course
Thank you

Course well organised - aims of each class clear.
Students were asked what they wanted out of the course.
Student numbers maintained throughout course - a very good indicator of a successful [course].
I really enjoyed the course - especially as I had previously attended the Beginners course.
I enjoyed being part of a group - we all gelled really well together - Glen made us all welcome.
I liked the discipline of getting homework & completed most of the tasks each week.
I was encouraged to practice & continue to practice going forwards.
The 15 week course was most enjoyable and I learnt a great deal of the subject.
The tutor made everything clear and understandable.
His knowledge of the subject was brilliant and he put it over in such a way it was great to be taught by him.
An enjoyable & informative course well presented.
Considerable help in using a complicated piece of software.
Glen Smith is extremely good at teaching both photography & Photoshop, both courses I have enjoyed greatly and gained much knowledge from.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this Photoshop Beginners course and fully intend to sign on to the follow up course.
I have enjoyed and benefitted and would recommend the course to anybody considering it.
My tutor Glen was very knowledgeable, friendly and made the course worth doing.
Overall this was course was absolutely great.
With tutor continually encouraging and motivating us to improve, his deep knowledge and teaching skills are outstanding.
I feel I want to continue with my studies and hope that the college will organise a more advanced Photoshop course as demand is there.
An excellent and varied course as ever from a patient and expert teacher.
Always a delight to attend even though the subject is very complex.
Good practical projects mean your skills are fully utilised.
Glen knows how to run effective & enjoyable courses
Able to adjust pace & content to a group a a range of abilities!
Excellent course - so clearly instructed & taught.
Tutor made time for personal support at home (email) and in class.
Materials fully helped scaffold learning so that outcomes were achieved.
Tutor was encouraging to all and gave appropriate & genuine praise where earnt.
May we please have more courses.
I think my tutor has a great way of informing our class @ different levels and was helped and was encouraged to help each other.
This has been a big learning curve for me - but I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
Glen is a kind & patient teacher who is good at getting us all to push ourselves to learn & emphasised the need to practice.
The group was a lovely size & very friendly & supportive of each other.
I look forward to the Next Steps course in Sept!
Every week of the course was a delight.
Glen found time in each lesson to help any person that needed guidance.
Glen is a fantastic teacher.
Yet again I have enjoyed the course as I did with previous 2 photographic courses I have attended with Glen Smith as tutor.
I have on all occasions found Glen to be an excellent tutor, easy to follow, listen to, and learn from.
I now look forward to attending the Photoshop Next Steps course to further improve my post photography.
I have found the Photoshop course for Beginners very enjoyable and am sorry not to be able to complete the course (due to moving away).
Glen is an excellent tutor and has taught me many skills. The class size was appropriate to enable him to give lots of 1-1 tuition and individual attention when required.
There is weekly homework and handouts which are excellent.
Glen is skillful, knows his subject and has passed on his knowledge of Photoshop in an encouraging way.
I would recommend the Beginners Photoshop course to anyone interested in photo editing. My thanks to Glen.

I can only thank the tutor and his patience in allowing this to happen.
