Verified 5* star reviews for Greta Powell Training
An excellent and informative course. The day was conducted at a good pace which let us ask many questions. The level was pitched at each of our abilities moving us on well with the training but flexible enought to adapt to our needs.
Managing Editor
An excellent session which has helped enormously in filling in gaps in my InDesign knowledge.
We worked through all our agreed set criteria but at a managable pace. I believe the skills learnt on this course will allow me to continue more effectively than ever.
