Adobe CC New Features Testimonials
“Good update on new features and learnt lots of little tips and tricks that I didn't know.”
Sarina, Graphics/Design consultant
“Thanks City Desktop for a wonderful training session. We really appreciated the ability to customise our course for our specialised team. Our designers are re-energised and motivated by the new knowledge we have gained and have techniques for streamlining our work processes and ideas to extend our outputs. We will definitely be attending next time we need a skills update and recommend your services.”
Kat, Designer
“David was a fantastic trainer, really knowledgable on the material, and happy to explore related tangents when we had questions. His ability to reference examples from his own varied and extensive experience working in the design was wonderful. He was excellent at constantly checking we were on track with the exercises and ensuring the pace was appropriate. He was great at checking what was already within our skill level and tailoring his delivery to either demonstrate more basic or more advanced features where required. Great fun and learnt so much!! Highly recommended!! Thank you!”
