A thoroughly comprehensive course led by a highly knowledgeable, approachable and engaging tutor. The course is very intensive and would benefit from more short practical exercises throughout if it were run over a full week.

Olivier is brilliant – he’s a great teacher and very enthusiastic. He’s always happy to go into detail or rephrase his explanations with demonstrations to ensure the concepts are fully understood.

This course was supposed to be an INTRODUCTION to Blender, but it quickly turned out to be too advanced for my needs as a beginner looking to explore the Blender software. Indeed, the course content was very dense and the pace too fast for me to keep up and to have time to practise using the software. I often lost track of what was going on during those four days of training and I feel that I am not at the right level to follow it.
