Very simple and clear explanations and well presented. I can see myself returning to this course as a reference for many years.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Hi there,
Are you overwhelmed by thousands upon thousands of videos on youtube about how to use your Mac with tips and tricks?
Learn your Mac in under an Hour? Learn tips and tricks in 10 minutes or less? Sounds familiar? I know because I have been there too.
Are you frustrated with the fact that you can't find a comprehensive and interactive Mac course that will help you learn the basics and intermediate skills to be a bright star with your computer? A course that will allow you to ask questions, to request additional videos on everything regarding your Mac, it's not easy to find. There's a lot of noise. It is simply too much to take in.
You need one course that will set you aside from everyone else. No more wasting time researching for the perfect course, because there is no such thing as the perfect course unless it is looked after by its teacher.
No more hundreds of tabs on your browser to try to find an answer.
That's why I created: Mastering Your Mac: 10x your Productivity
You might be thinking: Yeah, right, another of those courses! I saw other courses out there, some are indeed awesome, but they still lack one common thing: Interactivity with the teacher. I saw hundreds of unanswered questions, and unresolved issues from students who could not get their questions answered. Mac basics is not a topic many are looking for online, and that's why I felt this gap needed to be filled with a trustworthy ongoing course. You hear me right: Ongoing. It will be ongoing because We are committed here, with your help and feedback to update this course periodically and make it remarkable for you to reference and to get inspired from, over and over for life.

I am passionate about teaching and sharing my skills and discoveries with people willing to learn and share. Having started with Windows systems in the early '90s, I understand the transition challenges for Windows users exploring the Mac ecosystem for the first time.
I've used Mac computers since 1999; before that, I used Windows operating systems.
I firmly believe that Macs can revolutionize how you work and create, freeing you from technical hassles that waste your time.
My journey with Macs began in my early music career, composing soundtracks for theatre and writing my music. I've extensively used Garageband, Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Final Cut, iMovie, and After Effects. Alongside my music career, I've delved into various Adobe tools like Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, and Audition, as well as exploring the potential of Generative AI.
In addition to my tech and music expertise, I have a strong passion for investing, with five years of experience in property investing, Forex, and trading. Over the past 25 years, I've explored multiple fields, forging professional partnerships.
Here are some of my passions and skills:
Music Composition and Teaching
Web Design
Photography
Videography

I enjoyed learning about the different aspects of my Macbook and picked up a lot of useful stuff. I would be very happy if you added a module on Big Sur as that is the current operation system and I'm sure they did some updates too. Also, after watching the last video on automator - I am not clear if I can set these automations for different desktops (I am using three) and I was left with that question now. All in all a great course, thank you!

I find the information below basic. Also find the voice too fast and am losing words.
By Simone Mitchell on 11/8/2020
Excellent set of tutorials. Highly recommended.
By James Williams on 11/8/2020
Quite a bit of useful information. In my opinion, if you have used a mac some of this information you would already know
By Gus Seminario on 10/26/2020

Amazing. The highest rating possible.
By Ian Smith on 10/14/2020
Very good course. A client wanted to use Macs so I took the course despite thinking I knew my way around okay. I learnt so much! So many little tricks and settings I didn't know. Frank has a great style, lessons are short and to the point. Very highly recommended.
By Dennis Cox on 10/13/2020
Learning things about my operating system that I didn't know.
