Jarek was very, very determined to make me as knowlegable as possible to be able to use those programmes afterwards, even though the time was very limited to be successfull. He not even pushed breaks, so we could squeeze even more knowledge in. Fantastic! Very, very sweet!

Course - DTP (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat)
The trainer really targeted our need to a very specific case study and was able to adapt to the situation (as the solutions to our problematic evolved during the course), beyond the upstream preparation he did.
