Great Oaks Photoshop for the Classroom - Highly Recommended!

I did the Photoshop for the Classroom course, including the second day, and it was absolutely brilliant. I came away from the two days feeling confident that I could develop my skills and understanding further, use what I had learnt to enhance my teaching and feel at ease with Photoshop in the classroom. The course leader was encouraging and supportive of all levels of ability within our group, and tailored the sessions perfectly. Everything that we did provided tasks, knowledge, understanding and resources that can be directly used in our teaching. I would really recommend it to anyone who wanted to gain or brush up on their skills in teaching using Photoshop.

An excellent course aimed at beginners

An excellent course aimed at beginners. This course has helped me become more competent at altering the aperture, iso, shutter speed etc. I'm beginning to understand how to adjust the settings to achieve a desired outcome; but practice makes perfect. As a nin-specialist this was an well developed and fun introduction to the technical side of using a dslr camera.

Photoshop Day 1 course

This was a fantastic one day course as I have limited Photoshop experience and teach secondary level Art and photography.
The day began with setting up the work space, basic skills and then quite quickly led on to explore more complex skills and using masks. The pace of the course was perfect with plenty of time to have a go and ask questions.
The teacher was fantastic as his explanations and instructions were very clear. All the content was explained on a white board, resources were printed and also all the content from the day is available to download. Therefore, plenty of opportunities to practice after the course with the actual material.

Fantastic!

Wow! What a fantastic course! I was finally allowed to go on this course after 18 months of waiting, and I am so glad I did! The quality of the resources was fantastic, and the delivery by Roy Smith was excellent! The practical nature of the day really brought the content alive. I can't wait to adapt the resources to suit my students!
