Testimonial

"This course gave me the skills that I needed to create multimedia content that landed me jobs. I have created videos to not only show my users how to do what they need to get done, but also to guide them through tasks interactively The class is lively, has a great mix of guided lessons and independent work, and gave me the chance to create content that mimics what I need to do every day."
