Loved how it was mostly self based. Definitely helped me continue working my 40 hours and doing this here and there!

This was a fun and awesome course, detailed videos were amazing and I appreciate the explanations it included for tools and commands. My instructor answered questions politely yet very clearly - always responding within a day.

Every piece of the curriculum was relevant, helpful, insightful, and up-to-date.

Chayce Lewing

Great balance of repetition of key work flows and buttons mixed with introducing new ways to complete a task. Perfect pace to follow along. I especially liked creating relevant drawings as a way to go over all the different buttons and commands vs just talking about it.
