Best $15 I ever spent. Significantly better than some of the other prep courses like Brainbuffet. Highly recommend.

La verdad es que se pone cada vez mejor! El profesor es muy didáctico y claro a la hora de explicar. Y ciertamente refuerza conceptos y herramientas que uno a veces olvida. Además puntualiza las cuestiones que suelen ser pregunta de exámen, lo cual facilita el estudio para prepararlo. Los resumenes de cada unidad son una gran ayuda porque permite hacer un seguimiento fácil de cada clase.

Detailed and clear presentation.
By Doug Dillard on 8/19/2025
I'm a little more than half complete with the course. However, so far this is one of the best Photoshop courses I've taken. I'm learning a lot of the keyboard shortcuts, and also clear explanations about what is being presented on the screen. I would recommend this course to anyone that's just started using Photoshop as well as people that are already familiar with the program.
