Engaging teacher. Thorough explanations. Easy to follow along. My one-day Premier Pro editing basics course was a great introduction to the software. Now to put everything into practice! I'd highly recommend this course and can only imagine their others are as good.

Informative, engaging, professional and informal - all the things great training should be! CDT are a pleasure to deal with and run fantastic courses. Highly recommended and would use them again in the future. Thanks to Tim for helping with the booking and queries, and Ben for the excellent training.

If you want a Photoshop training course that is not only very informative, easy to understand, but also very entertaining, I highly recommend City Desktop Training. Their tutors are awesome, and are capable of delivering their years of Photoshop knowledge in a very simple, easy to understand way I highly recommend them
I found this course to be perfect for my needs. I gained a lot of knowledge of InDesign without being overwhelmed. The trainer Adrian was excellent at explaining the functions at a smooth pace. I would definitely consider other courses from City Desktop Training.
Annette was clear and concise with all her information and this course has given me the confidence to expand my video editing skills!
David was a fantastic trainer - so knowledgeable, and an excellent facilitator. As well as being extremely relevant, practical and well presented, the sessions were also fun, and relaxed. The workbook is fantastic, as were the examples we worked on over the two days. Can't wait to go back to the office and apply everything I have learnt!
The course I completed for Adobe Premiere was very detailed and the trainer was happy to answer any questions along the way. I will be coming back to CD Training in the future.
I completed the Photoshop Lite course online and can highly recommend it. Adrian was an excellent teacher and gave plenty of time and attention to all my questions. Can't fault it!
Loved the course and delivery. Very relevant to the work I'm doing. Very well organised and presented. The trainer is very knowledgeable, talented and super patient. I enjoyed it and was delighted over and over to discover how InDesign works and the wonderful ways it can create an amazing output of work.
Highly recommend City Desktop Training! I have now completed 3 courses with them - Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop. Each course was comprehensive, engaging and the trainer (Adrian) was very knowledgeable and helpful :) Would use this group again!
I took the online Adobe InDesign essentials course and it was fantastic! It was super helpful as someone with basic InDesign knowledge. My teacher was brilliant, very clear and great to listen to. Overall was extremely happy with the course!
Our trainer David was excellent, he was experienced, helpful and thorough, would highly recommend!
City Desktop Training is always top notch. I went into this course knowing very little about html and now have a much greater understanding of how it works and a head full of info, tips and tricks. Thanks Linda!
I came into this course without ever having opened InDesign. After 2 days of training with Cheryl, I feel very confident that I will be able to put my new skills to use in the office. Cheryl was incredibly patient and the course was really well presented, especially for beginners. Thank you!
The Illustrator Essentials course with David was very well run. David was very professional and knowledgeable. He constantly made sure everyone was keeping up and asked if ok. It was a good pace and the online environment was free from background noise and disruptions. Highly recommend David as a trainer.
This was such a great interactive session. Alice provided useful links and explanations to help me feel like a pro. She provided templates that improved my understanding of the requirements and helped me over and above the course outline.
City Desktop Training enabled me to learn new things and feel more confident in using Adobe software. The course was very informative especially for those starting out like me, and the trainer was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend City Desktop Training to those who are looking to increase their skills or are new to using Adobe Creative Suite.
The training was fantastic! I came into the course knowing nothing about Indesign but found myself picking up the navigation and really enjoyed what I was learning. The trainer Adrian took the time to check in with all students in the class - he knew when I was struggling and gave me quick easy guidance to help. The tasks we completed were very professional making it very easy to imagine working on the software on a daily basis. I would recommend and I have since looked into future courses.
