How do I know that the Networking Essentials workshop is worth doing?
The Networking Essentials workshop itself is new, but the last two Web Essentials courses that we designed and delivered were independently appraised by Arts Matrix, a regional Arts funding and support organisation. Evaluations were gathered anonymously from nineteen of the twenty-four participants. See the results of the Web Essentials independent appraisal.
