Nada M., Cairo, Egypt - The training I received at Digital Training & Designs was excellent. I've taken courses on Macromedia products before at other schools, but this was by far the best. A lot of information was presented in a short period of time, but the organization of the content and the instructor's knowledge of and enthusiasm for the product made it easy to absorb the content. I highly recommend Digital Training & Designs to anyone interested in learning Macromedia tools.
Tonya E., Richardson, Texas - I had a really limited background in Flash, but I thought I knew enough to take the intermediate class. I didn't regret my decision at all. I really learned a lot in this class and was able to keep up without any problems. Tom was really good at being patient and helping us out! Linda V., Dallas, Texas
- If all of your trainers are like Tom, you have an A-1 staff. Truly an experienced and professional individual, really knows his stuff. I enjoyed coming to both my Flash classes. Sharon Y., Dallas, Texas
