Orantez. I attended the course with no previous knowledge of illustrator and it was a daunting experience at first but I have come away feeling confident and enthusiastic about the programme.
Vokera Limited. Very interesting and enjoyable - an excellent introduction to this great package!
FIRA International Ltd. Very useful basic training for email newsletters, now I just need to put it into action!
Reindeer and Fox It was beneficial for me to have the 1-to-1 session. Being in a group session, with different abilities may have slowed things up a little. As it was I feel pretty confident in Illustrator already
My Goodness Ltd Thye course was excellent for grasping the basic of using Illistrator, Also the booklet supplied with the course was very helpful.
