It has been an amazing challenge to capture this fizzing foment of ideas on virtual paper for the design assessment. I failed to do it to my own satisfaction, having underestimated the task and run out of time. Here's hoping my undisciplined and gappy first draft will be enough to show a grasp of fundamentals thorough enough to earn my qualification ...
... because a thorough grasp of fundamentals is indeed what this course has instilled. I know the truth of it in my bones. They said after experiencing a PDC it will be impossible to see the world in the same way again and they were right. It's a new matrix, instantly hard-wired, stuck for good. Well, good.
So I'm joining the chorus of thanks to Geoff and the PRI team for offering this course online supplemented by a DVD pack. Self-paced learning is the only option for many people who cannot take time away or travel for a host of reasons, and this filled that need for me.
Of course there can be no substitute for hands-on learning, but in its own way this course achieves something just as powerful, infusing the knowledge and confidence to get out there and get on with it solo if we must, and creating an extraordinary global network of colleagues to share support when needed. Rebirth thrown in for no extra charge. ;-)
FANTASTIC WORK, PRI AND NEW GRADUATES!!!
