Fashion Design and Lead Lecturer in Art and Design, Wayne Aveline said................
“Greta came to deliver training to 5 staff at Walsall College. Greta was an amazing instructor who’s session was fast paced but she also spared the time to see individuals who were struggling with anything. I personally have always had a barrier when using computers but after just the first day I couldn’t wait to get back on it. I would strongly recommend using this company as Greta obviously knew what she was doing and we covered a lot in only 3 days.
