I'm glad I took this course. He explains everything super well. It does not substitute for going on a real practice of course (which is way more expensive), but it helped me to decide if I want to try out this as a new hobby. The videos are great quality, good bites of short lessons and detailed enough for your start. I fully recommend it.

I really enjoyed the course, and I feel that based on what I learned in this course, I can start my own project. The only thing that I would love to learn, and it can be very personal is that I would have more theoretical instruction in the last steps as well. The theory about color and references was helpful but as there are many steps like washing and waxing again before adding botanicals, I don't know the necessity and it would be great to explain why. But I totally recommend this course.

Very basic and could not recommend for a beginner. Nothing you can't find for free on U-Tube.
