Academy Class Reviews

We needed better equipment that are fully equipped for cinema 4D. My laptop had no preset and was missing plugins.

I did the combined 101 and 201 and so this is following on from the first 3 days, Ben has provided a continuity in learning the software. Aside from showing us how to use the tools and function on the software, Ben also showed us why and in what real life situations we could apply the tools / technique due to his very rich industry experience, which is very important in learning an industry standard software. The only issue with the course is that the computers are not really fit for purpose for such a graphic intensive software: 1. They are rather slow 2. They screen is rather small Also, a lot of people in the industry in fact use a Mac so it could have been a nicer experience to do this course on a Mac. In addition, we didn't have the full software installed - it's missing the Content Library and the Show Help guide, which has left a dent in the experience. We have found a way around not using the Content Library and that didn't affect our learning as such but it would have been much nicer if we had the full software so we could have a play with some of the interesting effects Ben has shown us.

We had a very knowledgable instructor CHAQIB. Would have loved to spend more time on this course. Course certification is a mystery, no one knows anything about it and the fact I would have to travel again to do the exam is not great

Thank you for a awesome week, absolutely loved Chakib's style of teaching and great industry relevant advice. I also loved his vision of UX/UI. Loved the process

As a complete beginner to InDesign I found the vast amount of information squeezed into 2 days quite challenging. Technically, it was 1 day of learning as the second day we were asked to design a leaflet. I found it difficult to keep up as I had to observe the teacher's screen, follow the instructions on my computer and try to write down notes simultaneously. The pace was too fast and would have been better if the course was held over a minimum of 3 days. The instructor provided some very useful industry tips but I don't believe it's very good value for money overall.

A lot of practical application which is good to experience it, but i think more theory around the different methods and examples / Templates would have been useful. Also i would suggest having a printed manual or book that can be used to highlight sections that are relevant post event. In previous courses, at a lower cost, books have been handed out about the subject. I would recommend this approach as it would be helpful as a takeaway. The instructor was very knowledgeable about the topics covered and you had confidence in him. However at times discussions were off topic and it was a little frustrating when you are here to learn. Lovely guy though.

Fantastic Course and great instructor. Felt I have gained a really good understanding in a couple of days. Bit of confusion about the start date of the course and now when it will be completed, but in fairness this has been due to a tutors unforeseen illness. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great course, great instructor. Very patient.

It is a very useful BIM/ Revit introduction to a beginner. Now I know the the basic concept about Revit/BIM.

I wish i took this course earlier in my life :) everything was straight forward and perfect :)
