Testimonial
"We wanted to do Nigel's course because our team has a member who has a hidden disability and a member who is a carer.
Nigel made it clear that he is a teacher with a hidden disability and therefore we felt he would understand our experiences and deliver the course in a way that would be accessible for us.
Nigel provides support for getting the technology we needed to do the course and worked to make sure we could access the software and the materials. He provided notes and video material as well as weekly sessions live online to take us through the course.
The course makes it possible to learn about AVID and editing in an accessible and enjoyable way."
