This was a wonderful class taught by a great teacher. I learned more in these 3 days than I did in 3 years at school using this program. The teacher was very patient every step of the way. I look forward to taking the next class! Natasha L.,

- Excellent Class, I went in to the class not knowing anything about Photoshop.
I left the class with more than enough knowledge to do several projects at work.
Very informative class. Rick K, Dallas, Texas - There is never enough time to absorb everything that is taught in any class... Virginia was a terrific instructor & her knowledge was outstanding... That's so important when learning anything... the instructor can make or break the class and Virginia meant all the difference in the class.
Digital Training & Designs is one the most outstanding training facilities in classes at their facility. The staff is very accommodating; being sure to make you comfortable & ensuring that the classes meet your needs.
Bobbie T, Garland, Texas - Virginia was great! We accomplished 3 days worth of training in one day. Her pacing and examples were very informative. I will gladly recommend her to any of my associates. Thanks for accommodating me on short notice for the Photoshop class. Greg R., Dallas, Texas
- I thought I knew enough in Photoshop. I thought to myself that I should be in the Intermediate Class, instead of the Intro Class. Upon completing this course, I learned so much!!!!!! I will definitely take another course, even if I have to pay for it myself. Demarcus M., Dallas, Texas
- My whole company uses your classes. We will be doing Flash in the future and MAYBE Director... that will be determined in the year. There are 3 of us in the Marketing Department and they want us to start putting out better visual graphics for our sales meetings. Looking forward to coming back. Jackie K.
- This is the first computer class I have taken where the instructor provided ample time to ask questions, practice new techniques, & truley absorb the material. Additonally, Virginia watched the students and went to help them based on their body language, which helped those students that may have been shy about asking questions. Excellent! Cannot give her enough praise as a teacher, & look forward to taking other classes with Virginia as an instructor. She was reccomended to me by 3 people whom had taken photoshop classes with her & other instructors. All 3 said Digital Training & Virginia were by far superior to other training availible in DFW. Now, after taking the class, I cannot agree more! Shawn R., Irving, TX
