Good balance between theory and practice Training in DIF, therefore in line with my personal expectations Trainer: Clear and complete explanations

The fact that the group is small is conducive to learning. The course is well organized and logical in its sequences. I think that even if it was an initiation, the subjects seen were more advanced than my expectations. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. Very good trainer, available, attentive, patient. No complaints.

Very good listening Trainer: explains very well, comes back when you don't understand

Trainer: RAS. Very good contact. Very attentive to our expectations and our problems. Number of examples and important exercises facilitating the handling of the tool.

The course is very complete and allows to have an overview of the functionalities of Photoshop and corresponds to general needs of use. The trainer masters Photoshop perfectly. In its speed of explanation, however, it is sometimes difficult to follow for beginners. Fortunately, he listens to people in difficulty.

Very complete and very well programmed course Trainer: Very good listening as well as a very great professionalism

Fluid, methodical and logical progression. Many examples and concrete cases to put into practice the concepts discussed. Rhythm adapted "to my level" (since already some basics). Progress and exchanges facilitated with the trainers because I was the only trainee in training. Very good trainer, available and attentive, in the exchange. Adapts and re-explains if you don't understand.

very good trainer, good atmosphere, good explanation and good pace of work. Listening, very quickly understands our difficulty and allows us by reflection to get out of it alone. Very good teacher.

Excellent trainer who puts himself within the reach of the trainees and who takes the time to explain and even to repeat several times always with a smile.

Very nice home. It's a great idea to include coffee and cakes in the morning, and throughout the day, with fresh juices. The premises are impeccable. Very clean and tidy. It is also very quiet. Thank you for the gifts, Mug, Pen and USB keys. Trainer: Very available for specific questions depending on the progress of each.

Adapted and pleasant Complete We have covered all the points necessary for the rapid implementation and practice of my activity. Trainer: Michel was perfect! Very pedagogue, support and personalized follow-up. Very kind. Excellent human contact. BRAVO Dawan! The welcome and follow-up by your salespeople was perfect (Alexandre MARIE LUCE in particular), solutions were found to allow me to do the training. And the training center itself in Paris is to be recommended. I will not hesitate to do so.
