It was my first online course and it was amazing from day One until the last day of the course. My instructor was one of the best instructor I ever had. She paid so much attention on every details and always gives me lots of advice and follow up to make sure that I understood and able to do my work. So grateful and lucky to have her as my instructor. Thank you so much for your advice and encouragement. Definitely planning to enrol more classes in the future time 😊.

I had an amazing experience on the 3-day PME Royal Icing & Piping course. The facilities were outstanding and Ribana was so generous with her time and sharing her knowledge. I learned so much and picked up countless tips and tricks to achieve superb results. I would highly recommend attending courses with ACD.

I found the course incredibly informative and I learnt a lot from it, your teaching was clear and of a high standatd, however, I personally would have preferred 4 sperate 2 hour modules as I found that there was too much information to absorb and not enough time to practice each instruction. I would have preferred to be able to go home in-between each class and practice and master the technique, so by week 4 , when it came to decorating the cake , it would have looked amazing . I would most definitely recommend your class to others. If there were shorter models I would most definitely be interested and book with you again.

Today had the privilege to meet Ribana. I must say the course was informative and enjoyable and the facilities of the classroom was beautifully organised and the arrangement was beyond my expectation. She answered all our questions patiently and gave us good tips. I would definitely be going back for more lessons as I feel she has so much talent to share. I have already recommended her to my friends and will continue to do. Thank you again for an amazing lesson👌🏼
