It was actually brilliant. The course tutor did a really great job with demonstrating the different techniques on the step-by-step course videos, which was so informative. I’m a visual learner and I loved the fact you can pause and go over parts of the video again if you need to. The course is made up of three, 20 weeks blocks giving you plenty of time to complete the course which is really good for people working full-time. I really appreciated that.
