The course is getting old and has the older Affinity screens in some cases, but I was able to figure it out. The instructor is great - thorough, concise, and easy to listen to. I'd recommend this course, but it would be nice to update to the current version of Affinity with Canva.

By Brad Wilson on 10/4/2025

I've been using affinity for some time but there are some things to come that I'm a bit confused about vector fill and some of the join/boolean operations that I will be looking forward to. I find your teaching style to be quite impressive and a very soothing voice.

By Les Parker on 1/15/2025

An excellent course. Tim's style of teaching really suits me. It is not until the course was over that I realised just how much I had actually learnt. I now open Affinity Designer without the bewilderment that I previously felt and am able to produce work that, only a few weeks ago, I would have thought beyond my capabilities.

By Dare Adelugba on 1/13/2025

The course was at the paste that fits my learning strength. The only problem I have was not hearing the instructor clearly. The voice was too low. I turned up the volume but it was still not loud enough. The instructor needs to speak closer to the mike in future videos.

This course is absolutely fantastic! The teacher is incredibly skilled and does an amazing job at explaining complex concepts clearly. The course curriculum is well-structured, engaging, and very informative. I’m learning so much and truly enjoying every part of it. Highly recommended!

By Erik Jorgensen on 5/2/2024

I have really enjoyed this course. Next up is the same course for the IPad

By Wesley Mariano Galdino on 3/22/2024

I really liked this course. Tim is a very good teacher with a soothing voice and much experience with the software. Obviously he didn't cover every tool, because 10 hours is not enough to teach everything about an aplication as complex as Affinity Designer, but he showed the essential tools needed to do design work. I am very glad I made this course!

By Sterling Harley on 3/1/2024

Great course learning a lot but I do wish the audio was louder

By Bob Cotter on 9/29/2023

Expected a lot more from the course. This is a basic course for beginners, taking you slightly further towards an intermediate level, but not completely there. The instructor is knowledgeable and is easy to follow.

By Jakki Morgan on 7/13/2023

Thank you, Tim! An amazing course - I can't rate it highly enough. Your calm, clear teaching style is excellent, and the course content has taken me from a frightened novice to an aspiring designer! The course covered everything I needed to know methodically and in easy-to-follow steps - each one building on the previous in a well-structured way. Recommended!
