Academy Class Reviews

A great course which has taught me a lot in a short space of time. Generally, a good delivery, however, as the content got more advanced Geddy should have slowed down a little, it was very difficult to keep up at times. The colours section (global, spot etc.) felt rushed and it seemed as though everybody was confused and had fallen behind.

Thank you In Design is my new favourite programme!

Came away with more of an understanding of adobe and indesign

It changed my life.

This review is for Unity 3D and VR (not Jumpstart). The instructor, Inky, was fantastic. Incredible knowledge of the subject area and method of teaching by doing was really effective. Learnt so much about Unity and a stronger understanding of developing for VR. The facilities at Academy Class could have been a lot better though. The machines we did the training on were low spec and not up to scratch in terms of VR work, and at times were slow and unresponsive. The environments were also not properly configured.

The room was very small and the noise out side didn't help sometimes

Inky knew his subject very well. Some of the material was advanced for my level of understanding but I learned lots and have a clear guide as to what I need to concentrate on now.

Adrian was very patient, went through the subject matter at a good speed and was very helpful.

I found the course very helpful overall and I will definitely be more confident when using Photoshop in future. I do, however, feel like the course is disproportionately weighted towards theory instead of practical. As someone who learns by doing, I would prefer to have more "on the job" learning.

The course seemed to drag slightly, focusing on some things that weren't important. For the first morning we spent the first few hours talking about pixels and nothing actually about Photoshop which seemed unnecessary for the amount of time taken, we could have got on with practical tasks and learnt a lot quicker. The teacher could have been more prepared for the second day, we ran out of things to do towards the end and given that this is only a starter class there should be much more we could have learnt. The teacher seemed to really know what he was talking about but didn't explain things that well as he showed us what to do. He also could have been more enthusiastic about what he was teaching as it was quite awkward at times.
