Academy Class

I have just completed the Adobe Green Belt Premier Pro CS6 course and I have to say that the Academy class tutor Nigel Honey was brilliant. His patience was neverending and he made sure that all of his students knew and were confident with the software by the end of the course. I am now an Adobe Certified Associate after passing the exam which I successfully passed with flying colours thanks to the training Academy Class provided. Their instructions of how to get on there on the day were clear and concise and the staff were always tremendously helpful whenever I had a problem. If ever I need training again to help me with my profession I will make Academy Class my first port of call.

Review for After Effects Course.The course was well structured. Everything was set up and ready to go the moment you entered the classroom.It was well laid out with a screen between two to follow the instructor and a computer each to have a go at each section. (I was even emailed prior to the course asking which computer platform I preferred.)The instructor was keen and had excellent knowledge. He was always willing to answer any questions and to get hands on if any of the group started having problems or losing there way.The only downside was that the computers weren't the most powerful so rendering and viewing your work could be a bit tedious.All in all an excellent course, it was easy to follow and you came away believing you were able to produce decent quality work in After Effects.

After attending the InDesign Zero to Hero course, I’ve learnt so much in 5 days and what’s even better is I’ve been able to use everything I learnt in my job every day. This has made my work so much easier!From the day I booked to go on the course they emailed me all the details and let me know where I needed to be and which time. The location is close to the station and easy to get to making it a very enjoyable experience.I cannot praise my trainer enough, Mark Gatter, who is an InDesign genius! Not only did he teach us the syllabus in depth in a friendly, relaxed environment but allowed us to ask questions related to our own personal work specifications which was so helpful.I would definitely recommend Academy Class and I’m going back next month for more training!

I recently completed the first half of my Creative License course for 3D Studio Max and had forgotten exactly how much effort it takes to learn new skills and not just coast through work life on autopilot. Thankfully Ricardo (our Academy Class tutor) was there to soften the blow. The course was well layed out but not so rigid that we didn't get to learn some extra bits when we did the basics well and spend a little extra time on the areas that caused problems, also the layout of the classroom with a monitor showing the tutors work situated next to every student monitor was very useful. The admin staff were very friendly and happy to help whenever needed and based on the perplexed looks on most of the people exiting the other courses I assume they were fed an equally abundant amount of knowledge to take with them on their future software journey.All in all I would highly recomend AC to anyone and look forward to returning for part two of my course.

I really won't go anywhere else for my training. The guys at Academy Class are fantastic and really do offer a great service, the tutors really do their best to go into the required depth of the course (and more) while trying to maintain a pace which suits everyone in the classes. I have always found them to be very professional and very supportive too. Their knowledge of the products is fantastic and it really comes across when sharing not only how to use the products but also about workflows and best practice when working with software. I am very much looking forward to progressing my skills with Academy Class going forward.

From initial contact Academy Class were extremely supportive and patient. Roberto was very helpful and eventually I opted for the Adobe Illustrator course in Glasgow and was not disappointed.The trainer, David Smith, certainly knew what he was talking about and guided us through different scenarios, exploring the design tools, and finally really getting a handle on creating designs.Only thing that could have been improved - it would have been nice to have taken away some kind of quick step-by-step guide for the things we had done so that we can try them again in our own time.Highly recommended

Back again at this training centre. The courses are very well run with good practical examples, though occasionally not quite advanced enough. The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable, many of whom are Adobe specialists. The office is located a short walk from Waterloo station with plenty of nearby outlets to grab some lunch. Docking just one star as historically the training rooms have been exceptionally warm.

I first came to Academy Class years ago at their previous location in Waterloo as they had a quality brand and reputation. Now they have seemed to downgrade in many ways. Their new office is much more sub standard. Rooms are too hot but too noisy to open windows. The first course I attended although good, the tutor started teaching late from talking and finished early and i think we could have fitted more content. The second Illustrator course had a fantastic tutor, i highly recommend her and maximum use of time was given. Also they started giving free fruit but have taken that away on my second course. They also provided lunch on first course but now give a £3 voucher that you cant buy a full lunch for, and you are forced to go to a poor quality cafe that i would never choose to eat at. Ive got 4 days worth of training left and who knows what else will get cut. Im disappointed in many ways, it seems they are trying to cut costs at every opportunity which is a shame as ive had to personally pay so much money for these courses. I must say the staff are all helpful and lovely.

Worst training center ever, especially their employee Sharjil, easily the worst employee in the worldEDIT:If you even cared to reply that you cannot provide the content or that you didn't get the response from the tutor I would've waited, its been 25 days since I first contacted you, but you guys showed no respect, so you deserve the star, even less than a that.
