You can tell the trainer is passionate about the software, which is a real plus. Three days is a bit short. The difference in participants’ levels is holding the training back – perhaps the multiple-choice test used to gain access to the course could be improved?

The trainer, whilst very friendly, wasn’t, in my view, very organised. He wasn’t a particularly good teacher either; there was little interaction, and the course just ‘rushed through’ the material one topic after another. The overall standard of the course was also lower than we’d expected; we had a refresher but didn’t learn anything particularly new apart from a few minor details over the three days. One of the ‘students’ had never even opened the software in their life. The level isn’t 2 but

A useful course for learning about and practising After Effects. The technical conditions weren’t ideal: the projection screen was blurry, which made it difficult to follow the demonstrations. The content focused more on the technical aspects of After Effects than on motion design. I would have appreciated more creative advice, best practices and guidance on completing a full project in order to better understand the design process.
