Barry came to our company, to train our team in DreamWeaver and Web Project Management in February and March of this year. I found him very helpful and knowledgable. He was very flexible in tailoring the course to our needs. Barry helped out with specific issues relating to our project, and did not mind staying late to come up with the right solutions. His support following the course has also been excellent, coming up with solutions as quickly as possible, and providing very informative guidebooks.
I have recommended him to friends and colleagues everywhere. He is great value for money.

As a beginner in graphic design and in the middle of setting up a new design business I had a lot to learn in a very short time. Barry travelled out to me and in a few hours he made sense of all the jargon and technology I had been struggling with over the previous months. Barry's method of teaching gave me confidence immediately and I was amazed at how much I was able to learn in just 2 days.
Comparing prices, as I didnt have to travel anywhere, Matrix actually worked out cheaper for one to one private tuition than booking a mixed group course with other companies.

I completed a multimedia 9 month course with another company, but lacked the confidence to apply for jobs in web design. After doing a 5 day customised training course with Barry I suddenly started to understand things that had previously left me confused and unsure. Not only did I learn more in the 5 days than I did in the whole 9 months previously but I was also given valuable insights into how the industry works which boosted my confidence enormously. Within 3 weeks I was employed in my first job as a web designer. Eternal thanks!!

Fabulous course. First class teaching by Barry Huggins. I've done a number of courses at other places and only wish I'd found Barry earlier. I'd have saved money and learned shedloads more in a fraction of the time.

I did 2 training courses with Barry in Photoshop and Dreamweaver after a break from work of 6 years bringing up 2 children. I was so nervous as the design industry has changed a lot since I left it. Barry was wonderful. He was patient, relaxed and made me feel so at ease that I actually started to enjoy myself and didnt want the day to end. I cant believe how much I was able to learn and retain over a 4 day period. I left the course on a real high, brimming with confidence and went straight into work within the week.

As a professional photographer I have struggled with Photoshop for about 5 years and decided to bite the bullet and take a proper course. Barry not only amazed me with his degree of knowledge of photoshop but was also able to talk to me on equal terms as a photographer. I got so much more from the course than I anticipated. Although I hadnt planned it he even taught me how to create an online portfolio and I'm now busy creating my first website for my business. Barry's courses are excellent value for money and I thorouly recommend them no matter what level of ability you may be.

I thought I knew a lot about Adobe Illustrator and did an advanced Illustrator course with Barry to fill the gaps. Within an hour I realised Barry was a walking graphics encyclopedia and I had a lot more to learn. Without doubt the best course I have ever been on. Barry's teaching technique is something special. 5 stars.
