Testimonial

• I did two introductory courses on Photoshop and on QuarkXPress, back to back,  and came away with renewed confidence and enthusiasm which I was able to put into practice immediately in the production of a new brochure. My work is now much more effective and efficient as a result of seeing just what you can do with these software packages, and how to do it. Chris has a great coaching style, giving you an understanding of the "why" as well as the "how ". I thoroughly enjoyed both courses, and have no hesitation in recommending PPA; I am sure I will use them again.
