Academy Class Reviews

Nilly is an excellent instructor. Patient and diligent. She gave a good overview, in a relatively short space of time, of a software tool that is massive. I have nothing negative to say about her delivery of this course. Personally, however I feel that this consecutive four day course is not for absolute beginners like me. I feel to cope with that amount of knowledge you need some residual knowledge of the software or something similar. It is too much to take in in that short a time. Absolute beginners like me should do the four days over four weeks, with plenty of practice time in between lessons, to allow it all to sink in before the next day of learning. I feel I would have progressed better this way.

I found the course to be very good. It covered everything I needed and the instructor took her time to make sure we understood everything she was teaching. I would highly recommend this service, and use it again myself.

I have experience of Adobe Premiere Pro, but no prior experience of Adobe After Effects, so was a complete beginner. I learnt a lot, but found it hard to copy/follow the instructor and take notes. Although we were provided with notes, we didn't seem to follow them in a logical order. It would have helped me if we followed a workbook, e.g. introduced to a specific topic, followed the instructor with an example and then completed our own exercise to ensure we had understood. Also, most of the questions in the exam were not covered in the course, although the practical examples were better but I ran out of time.

This course is not suitable for the beginner. It didn't help our course was cut by 2 hours per day for 4 days, which left 8 hours missing for the training and questions. This then had to be compensated by a breakneck speed of teaching, and for someone who is an absolute beginner left no space for catch-up with the rest of the class, who were all advanced users. As for training materials, I wasn't made aware of any available; saying that, we were promised further help from the trainer with asking questions via email.

WELL DONE

After finding Academy Class via the Adobe website I decided to take their course due to the super-helpful customer service (thank you Sharjil!) and the great reviews. The Photoshop course was the best practical online course I ever booked and was worth every penny. Ian is an amazing teacher and with his help I became an ACA with a score of 912/1000. I can highly recommend the Academy Courses Photoshop course because *the tutor is extremely knowledgable with an immense amount of real-life experience *the course pacing is great *if you listen and study you'll learn a lot

Gediminas has a wealth of knowledge and enabled me to -finally- understand how HTLM and CSS works and interacts. We were introduced not only to the concepts but created our own website, accessed some really interesting resources, discussed and debated some finer points and I would not hesitate to book the course again. I can highly recommend Academy Class and Mr Survila.

Ian was great and explained everything very well. He also made use of summative assessment during the course to check knowledge gained which really helped. Thank you very much!

A highly informative course with a very personable tutor who really knew their stuff. It was managed really well as it changed to an online course and I don't feel like this impaired my learning at all.

Good, very clear steps on all of the subjects. I have learnt in much more depth about subjects I knew of and I'm happy with the course overall.
