Could have used an additional day and more handout material but overall was a great course I highly recommend it!

Course was great.

More hands-on time would be nice. Perhaps 2 days of lecture/training and use the third day to create a project using the topics learned in the first two days.

Students/participants use text books/manuals to follow along with the verbal instruction and also take notes to assist with their own knowledge gain.

for this specific course it would be a big advantage if you have familiarity with CS5 Premiere or at a minimum previous versions.

A course manual would have been helpful - something to follow along with during the cours and make personal training notes and tips which you can refer to at a later date.
