"My Learning Experience with Barbara Press (Sweet Babs)

Being a marketing professional for a large international corporation, I am required to constantly develop and learn of new marketing related applications, which we all know, evolve every day. A major part in that learning process is the graphics part of it. Recently I had to learn the basics of CS2 - the dreaded, yet wonder-creating, complicated Adobe graphics software.

I was fortunate enough to learn Adobe CS2 from Babs at Bergen Community College in NJ. Lucky me! One would think, what a boring thing to learn, how in the world can a teacher make an Adobe program interesting with the million confusing options Adobe offers? Well, interesting is only one description for Babs' classes. Her ability to make everyone laugh, but yet firmly stress on the things we should learn, was amazing. It was surprising to see that all of us were still getting excited after a long weekend learning day, and still listening to her funny interesting comments. I wish all teachers had her teaching abilities, everyone would be a wiz.

What made it memorable for me? Babs' expert knowledge and love of the subjects she taught - she was contagious. Her enthusiasm, patience with us, and the ability to "engrave" the rules of the subjects into our busy brains, made strong influence on the way I look at new software today - it is NOT as scary as it seems. Being able to do that to students is a gift!

If you need to learn any Quark or Adobe designing classes and see her name on the class - DO NOT miss it, you'll be privileged to be Babs' student.

Babs, I am good at what I do, because of you, don't ever give up teaching. In today's world, we need teachers like you. You make it look so easy!

Thank you!"

"Wonderful class. Barbara kept the class very interesting and informative. I got so much more from the class than I expected--Barbara made that happen. I went back to work after each class more confident in Adobe Acrobat. She is a great instructor!"

"Not having taken a continuing education course for some time, I did not know what to expect when I enrolled in Photoshop classes this past fall. But my instructor, Barbara Press, made the experience fun and exciting with an energetic approach and insightful, hands-on exercises. She made me feel confident about taking on graphics work as a career. Thanks Barbara!"

"This is the best class I ever took. I would take any class this teacher offered. I cannot believe how much I learned and retained. Babs has an amazing way of getting you to not only learn, but to understand what you are doing, so that it is not a fleeting experience, as so much of my other training has been. Awesome Instructor!!!"

"iBabs Training - what can I say? The experience of having an on-site trainer was so much better than having to travel to an off-site training center for several reasons.

1. The flexibility of being able to have the training classes on-site enabled us to accomplish our daily job tasks so that we could focus our attention exclusively on the training.
2. By being flexible with the trainer and our schedules enabled us to devote quality time to the project without interruptions.
3. We were able to tailor our sessions to fit the needs of our projects.
4. We were able to use current projects in our training classes which enabled us to better utilize the class training and use the trainers expertise to answer our questions.

Thank you for everything!"

Babs is a brilliant teacher. Her ability to maintain a constant atmosphere of ease, while still making sure everyone is learning at a fast  pace is remarkable. Her comments and tips are comical, she is very enthusiastic and optimistic throughout the entire class/course, and the only thing with more patience I've seen is a turtle; It's simply above the charts with Babs! quite easy to follow due to the fact she tries very hard to be precise and clear in her lessons, there is ALWAYS a level of comfortableness with her, she is a very approachable teacher. Aside from all of the aforementioned attributes, she is hands down a professional, amazing knowledge of the craft she teaches with DECADES of experience. I would instantly recommend Babs as a teacher to anyone looking to learn the world of Graphic Design. Babs thanks for being so great, and for being so down to earth; please don't stop teaching ...

"I had the privilege of taking two graphic design courses taught by Barbara Press at Bergen Community College. Babs, as she is known by many, is a very enthusiastic, vivacious and talented teacher. She holds your attention and presents the material in such a way that you constantly crave more. When the course is complete, you find yourself signing up for as many of her courses as you can possibly find!"
