You couldn’t ask for more as a turbo-driven boost to reaching a professional level in ExpressionEngine. I was left reeling but the class recordings are great revision material and will keep me going for months to come. It was a lovely surprise that the Webinars were so warm and supportive. The best value course I’ve ever taken – lots of work but totally enjoyable. Looking forward to another Creat-ee class. Thanks again - see you in the follow-up/next level class!
