HTML 5 and CSS3
Matt Walker-Wilson's two-day HTML and CSS course was extremely informative and practical. Although I regularly use CSS, having an expert explain the underlying concepts in completely clear language was very useful. I have no doubt that the skills I learnt on the course will have practical application in my day-to-day job. Thank you!

The JavaScript and jQuery for SITS training course was very informative and gave me the confidence to progress my developments further. Matt Walker-Wilson was very helpful, friendly and conveyed the information in a manner that was easy to grasp. This made the 2 day training course very enjoyable.
The Adobe InDesign course was excellent. Even though I had been using the InDesign software for some time there were still so many aspects I didn't even realise I didn't know. Matt made it a fun and enjoyable couple of days and I hope to work with him again in the future. Thank you so much!
I found the 'Introduction to Adobe Photoshop' course extremely useful. Not only was the course good value, it was also extremely detailed. Matt Walker-Wilson is an extremely gifted trainer and was keen to ensure that every question that we had was answered. His training style had a very good pace, and the training was customised for our particular needs.
Thank you!
I found the 2-day HTML training course very helpful and insightful. Matt Walker-Wilson was very adaptable and thorough, ensuring that we all understood each step and making sure that any queries we had were clearly explained. Thank you.

Website Design and Maintenance using Dreamweaver
Matt Walker-Wilson has clearly mastered every detail of Dreamweaver. He is an excellent teacher and is able to share his considerable knowledge in a practical, understandable and relaxed manner. He enabled me to transform my website into a valuable marketing platform and I am very pleased with the result. He found a solution to every problem and his enthusiasm for perfection ensured that nothing proved too complex to resolve. His professionalism, good humour and "can-do" attitude were very much appreciated and I would strongly recommend him to others wishing to climb a steep learning curve in a short space of time.
His ongoing support has also been invaluable and has rapidly rescued me on several occasions when my subsequent "improvements" to my website did not work out as I had initially anticipated. Thank you very much for all your help!

I have already been putting my new skills into action and the time saving shortcuts are working wonders! Thanks again.
I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say thank you for the CSS training you delivered to us.
All three of us delegates were agreed that the training was extremely useful and was excellently delivered - it was one of the most enjoyable training courses we have experienced.
We will definitely be keeping hold of your details for our future training needs.

Many Thanks once again.

I received 8 hours training to the highest standard, which left me eager to do more with Photoshop and explore the huge potential of this programme.
Matt Walker-Wilson is a skilled and likeable teacher who communicates easily and is extremely patient which was good for me at my skill level. I am a keen photographer and home user of Adobe Photoshop.
I would recommend Matt and Advance-Training.co.uk to anyone considering this type of training. He has even offered, free, unlimited, ongoing support, should I encounter any problems.

Cascading Style Sheets for websites
Matt Walker-Wilson delivered a relaxed and easy to understand training session that will be invaluable to me in my job role.
I was amazed at how many topics were covered in such a short time and how easy he made it for me to grasp the fundamentals of CSS in just one day! The reference materials that he provided at the start allowed me to concentrate on the tasks that were set, rather than worrying about having to take comprehensive notes, which made the training more enjoyable and beneficial

The cool stuff:
he came to our office

was able to adapt the course to our specific requirements
answered my questions and demonstrated the solutions
Matt Walker-Wilson from Advance-training.co.uk was fundamental in enabling us to create a great new website from scratch and quickly; totally professional, committed and with a refreshing sense of humour, he has been a real joy to work with.
His practical help and advice and his ongoing support have always been of the very highest order.
Importantly, too, thanks to his excellent Dreamweaver training, Caroline Bates and I are able to manage the site on a day-by-day basis with complete confidence.

Thanks to Matt Walker-Wilson for the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) training course; he created a fun and relaxed learning environment and helped us go through each step with no problems.
I recommend this course to anyone who is not confident with CSS. The training materials supplied are also extremely helpful.
The added benefit to this course is that it was conducted on site at our company which allowed us to spend as much time possible working and learning as much as we could.
We will be contacting advance-training again for further training!

Javascript for web pages
Thanks for the javascript training course.
I found it interesting and it was taught at a good pace for us beginners. Matt Walker-Wilson is also a great trainer, thank for putting up with us!
Looking forward to using the many things that I learnt in the course, and putting them to good use.
I found the practice of how functions are constructed will benefit my other skills in understanding programming. Also interesting how properties can really affect the way you can do things, I think I will be able to combine what I have learnt with HTML and javascript, to do some smart things so thanks! Just need to keep practicing and build from there.
Matt Walker-Wilson, made the course fun and learnable at the same time.
When I had a problem Matt would explain and tell in detail why the problem occured and how to fix the problem. I also found the course material well organised and understandable.
Therefore the course and how it was delivered was of class A standard.

Matt Walker-Wilson is a very enthusiastic trainer who is passionate about his job, and that really came through on the training course.

Matt Walker-Wilson's approach to training is about learning and enjoying it - and it works wonders. I think I retained more information and useful tips from the CSS training than I have from any course in ages.
The flexible approach meant the content and pace of the course changed as we went along to suit our needs and it's definitely something I'd recommend.

Thanks to Matt Walker-Wilson for a fun and interesting Cascading Style Sheets training course. I learned some new things and understood some old. All in all, a worth while course. Many thanks.
Dear Matt
Just a quick note to say thank you for a most enjoyable Dreamweaver course yesterday.
I learned plenty and feel a lot more confident now to have a go at producing a search-engine optimised
website. The pace of the course was good and kept me interested (and entertained)!
The 2 day web design training course was extremely beneficial, both as a result of its highly practical nature and also the vast knowledge of the trainer.
Our audience was mixed in terms of levels of IT experience and the trainer was able to achieve a very good balance in levels of technical detail with all participants walking away having achieved their objectives for the training.

Website Design and Maintenance using Dreamweaver
On the first day of training with Matt, I had absolutely no web design skills or knowledge of Dreamweaver. Which can make creating your company's website a very daunting task.
But I needn't have worried, Matt was very patient and explained how to get around the programme in such a simple language that even novices like me could understand. I now feel confident enough to take on the title as webmaster for my company and hopefully I'll just get better at it as time goes by.
Thanks Matt!

Cascading Style Sheets for websites
I bought the usual books and looked on the internet for help but it all looked very complicated. Coming along on your one-day courses in CSS and then in Dreamweaver has really made it make sense to me and I can see how it all fits together. It has given me a great kick-start to start designing my own styles which is what I enjoy doing and the "technical codey" stuff doesn't scare me now! Many thanks.
The trainer, Matt Walker-Wilson, is energetic and enthusiastic about his subject and covers a lot of ground in just one day's training.
The Dreamweaver course has made me keen to have a go at creating my own website and to find out more about what the software has to offer.

Just wanted to say thankyou for a brilliant Dreamweaver session. It was really very enjoyable and it was good to fill in some of the bits that I use but don't always understand.
Thank you also for the hints and tips regarding search engine rating. All very useful!!
Matt Walker-Wilson provided clear, concise and bespoke training to two of our designers at World Textile Publications. Both designers learnt valuable new skills, were very happy with the training, and know they can contact Matt at any time, for post-training advice. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone wishing to learn HTML skills - he is a very patient and effective trainer.
This was a really enjoyable and well thought out session. The trainer, Matt Walker-Wilson, made what could have been quite a dry subject fun and engaging. It was only after the session that I realised how much useful information I'd learnt in such a short amount of time.
Training at our own premises was so convenient for us. The course was tailored exactly to our needs and took into account the knowledge we already had and the pace at which we wanted to learn. The support we received afterwards was also really helpful. I would certainly use your services again and recommend you to others.
The Photoshop CS training was a real treat, I was amazed at how much we all were able to cover in such a short time and how much we enjoyed it. The trainer, Matt Walker-Wilson, was very professional and easily coped with a wide range of student abilities, I would recommend the training to anyone who would like to develop their skills in Photoshop.

I utterly loved the format and teaching style of the Dreamweaver course. The trainer, Matt Walker-Wilson, worked so hard catering to each of us on the course as we were at different levels. He was very flexible in in approach and as a result I have come away feeling, confident and empowered.
Also I haven't laughed so much on any training course I ever been on! A totally enjoyable week!
The 2-day Web design training you provided was very informative and I have been able to put into practice all the skills that you taught me. Thank you also for taking the time to help me apply what I had learnt to our own website and update it. It is also reassuring to know that I can contact you again if I need some help. A great course which I will definitely recommend to others.
The combined HTML and Dreamweaver course was truly fantastic. It opened up a whole new area to IT which I had not explored before and had no knowledge of whatsoever. It helped me to thoroughly understand how webpages are created and the meaning of their set-ups. I am already looking at websites I visit in a whole new light.
The trainer was excellent and articulate at explaining everything, and was more than happy to answer all my questions. He also gave me some pointers as to how to optimize my company's website, which will prove invaluable to us as a recruitment company in the future.
I also had PhotoShop training which was extremely useful, as I was able to work on projects I am currently managing and apply certain tricks, which helped me come to grips with the package very quickly. I believe that my new PhotoShop skills will prove to be an amazing asset for future projects. Now all I need to do is practice, practice, practice...
I am so pleased with what I have learned in just 3 days. I would definitely recommend Advance Training to anyone who wants to gain new skills and spice up their websites or marketing materials.

I chose Advance Training because it was convenient for me to have the training carried out at my own desk and have the course customerised to my specific needs. Despite only having one day of intensive training, I felt confident to carry out the changes to my Company's website, knowing that Advance were on-hand to help with any queries I had by e-mail or by phone. This training 'after-care' is a great asset to their service
The Dreamweaver training was very useful, especially as it was customised to suit our project. And having it presented on-site meant no hassles of travelling to a training centre with the added advantage of learning in a familiar environment. It has proved an essential investment for our project.
The (photoshop) training was very accessible and the support material was very good. It met all our needs for manipulating images for the web and for our printed brochures. It has also helped us when setting up our image library.
Great service and attention to our specific training needs right from the start. We had a unique requirement for an unusual application of JavaScript and Matt Walker-Wilson at Advance took the extra time and care to ensure that the course was tailored to our needs for training, our budget and the time available for staff to attend. I'm especially impressed with the way that the course managed to be useful to all levels of experiance.
The Dreamweaver training was fantastic.
Even with no prior knowledge of webdesign or Dreamweaver software,
in just two days, I became confident that I could design a site and get it up and running.
The added bonus
of learning lots of neat shortcuts and quick ways of doing things has been invaluable. Amazing what can be done in such a short time.
The (dreamweaver) training has proved very useful. The trainer, Matt Walker-Wilson, made everything easy to understand. Great support too - I was able to phone the trainer afterwards with further questions. Overall, excellent!
