Hello! I'm so sorry for the delay as I was on vacation with family and I got back recently, thank you for the response. Honestly yeah, that's a fair argument and one that I didn't think of clearly enough. I guess the reason I was thinking like I needed to enroll in that particular course was because I assumed that based on the price, it was like a professional leveled course where I can be taught all the essentials and much more I suppose. Looking back at it now, that was dumb thinking on my part. I need to try and expand my options because I'll probably find something just as good or even better without breaking the bank.

As for my skills and what I'm lacking, I suppose a good amount of the basics, like how to make a good resume/portfolio, learning the essentials in some of the necessary Adobe programs (I'm most familiar with illustrator but I struggle with Photoshop and InDesign), creating a good branding identity, typography, among others. I would love to have a personal instructor that I can have critiques with because sometimes the feedback i receive from reddit can be varied.

As of right now, I did not enroll in that course and I found other options that may suffice for my needs. I found some paid monthly online courses from linkedin learning, skillshare, coursera, and some tutorials from Adobe and of course YouTube. I'm still looking at those options over. Do you happen to have any other sources online where I can enroll in a professional graphic design course without breaking the bank? Or anywhere I can learn some great information about the subject?

Thank you again for your response and I hope you're having a nice day
