Student Feedback

I enjoyed the one on one aspect of this remote session. Ben you are very open to additional questions. Very patient and helpful. All material covered was a great beginners guide to navigating and becoming fluent in Premier Pro and the editing process. Thanks again Ben I will be back.

I was appreciative for the customising that you were able to do for us in this training session. Using one’s own website and material to learn from was unique and made it so much easier to understand. I enjoyed the hands on approach.

Ben was great and was easy to interact with. He’s very knowledgeable and I highly recommend his training seminars.

Very much enjoyed the training with Ben and the other students. First time participating in an online classroom. I found the pace at which we covered the basics great. I am looking forward to continuing my education with Ben.
