I attended every class and thoroughly enjoyed each process. I found every module was clear and concise, supporting an easy introduction to each different process, which enabled a successful outcome.This exploration of processes and techniques over 7 weeks of guided lessons, filled my head with ideas and gave me the confidence to create a range of creative pieces.
I had an excellent tutor who was so kind and patient in his delivery of the theory and application of the different processes. This made a huge difference to me as a mature learner, particularly one who is not used to using a computer, and now I’m totally converted and signing up for Introduction to CAD/CAM Level 3 course.
