Sir Fon's teaching strategy works well for a beginner like me. Everything is simply explained and is executed well. Whenever I have questions he tries his best to explain things plainly. He's full of patience, by the way. He also gives great tips and techniques when designing. I think what makes my learning experience under Sir Fon standout is the way he shares both his good and bad practices when he was still starting his career as a designer.

This is my second time here in Swiss IT Training Center from Photoshop Beginner program to VGD and i learned a lot about PS and Illustrator. The Instructor are very approachable and the system unit we used are very useful and high tech, conducive learning environment and affordable course fee because of their staggered payment.
