EQ At Home Reviews
This is best beginning class that I have taken. I found the class very user friendly and answers many questions that a beginner would have or even people who are present users of EQ8.

This showed me some shortcuts I was absolutely unaware of as well as introduced me to some features that would have been useful had I known about them before. I'm looking forward to using my new knowledge!

To begin with, I took EQ online classes in the past and really missed them, so this class really fills in gaps for me! I thought I knew all the basics of the software but you showed me things that I was completely unaware of that will help me in the future!

Really like that you can add the Closed Captions. Very good for hearing impaired or speakers of another language.

Loved the class! Instructor Jenny Novinsky was fantastic; clear and thorough instructions. Jenny's instructions have given me the confidence to move forward.

The instructor is very clear about each step. She tells us what she is about to do, outlines the steps needed, explains each step and how to accomplish them, and then does them, repeating the steps. What I really liked was if I got lost, I could rewatch the video.

Really easy to follow. Excellent explanations and good timing. Learned a lot and very grateful I can now do this online in the UK. Thank you.

I found it very easy to follow and I liked that it was step by step instructions with no extra talking/conversation. Just straight and to the point! The segments are a perfect length to keep it manageable.

As an educator of 36 years teaching gifted students and 5 years of substitute teaching, I have evaluated many course curriculums. I found this class to be an effective way to learn EQ8. I know I will refer back to some of the chapters when I need help. You have a great product that should be purchased by everyone who owns EQ8.
