[Making Space is] straight to the point, insightful, accessible, and gives insight that you wouldn't find anywhere else. The course I took is well-done, accessibility has been amazing with the accuracy of CC, and even including a toggle for an ASL Interpreter has been helpful. It's been well-thought out in mind for those with disabilities and has been very easy to navigate.

What an enlightening process this course has been! From the first episode to this final, segment on creating a showreel, each step has been a treasure trove of insights and practical advice. The guidance provided has not only been instrumental as a learning tool but will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource to revisit time and again. This final episode on crafting a showreel was particularly impactful. It demystified the process and instilled some confidence that even without traditional experience, there are innovative ways to showcase our abilities.

Having dyslexia and audio processing issues made school challenging, but discovering content I'm passionate about changed everything. Learning through videos, colorful PDFs, and notes that suit my learning needs has been a game-changer. I deeply appreciate the support and understanding from Making Spaces, Netflix, and Andy in this course. Their kindness and respect have made a significant difference, and I'm thankful to be a part of this journey.
