Brilliant - I really wanted to learn about layout and FTP so it was excellent. Really knowledgeable tutor who teaches well at the right level.

Kate Nettell - University of Southampton

A very good introduction to Dreamweaver & how it works. Covered all I wanted to know about HTML language and also allowed me to understand how style sheets function.

Gemma Shaw - ITW Limited

I really enjoyed the Dreamweaver training I did last month and the HTML course last week. I felt the tutors I had were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and patient (important with technical things as it is very easy to feel confused and then a bit intimidated) and the atmosphere was very friendly overall.

Melanie Dearing - Sussex Coast College Hastings

I now have a good idea about how to create a website using Dreamweaver and places to go if I have any problems. The tutor kept it interesting and realised when we were struggling and repeated things.

Sally Darbyshire - Mooncup Ltd

The Dreamweaver course covered the basics in depth but went over when necessary. I had a lot of 1-2-1 time which helped a lot.

Victoria Clark - Virgin Holidays

If you want to start at the bottom and build not only knowledge but confidence, Silicon Beach is the right way to go.

Reece Starr - Add Mustard

The course was great, it taught me a lot more about a topic I knew very little about coming into it. the pace was perfect and I didn't feel rushed and could ask questions freely.
