Academy Class Reviews

Very interesting course. Iman was great at delivery and very patient. I found it very engaging and while pace was fast I found Iman was willing to pause or go over anything if someone had technical issue or ran behind.

Great course, gave me all the skills I need to create in Photoshop! The instructor was wonderful, she gave us lots of useful tips and ideas to practice and facilitated the course at a good pace.

Lauren was an amazing teacher with a wealth of knowledge at her fingertips. She was patient and willing to go back and repeat steps whenever help was asked for. Her instruction was simple to follow and easy to understand, with practical applications of each step identified. I really enjoyed this course and got so much from Lauren and her teaching. I would love to do another Illustrator course (ideally with Lauren!) to further stretch my skills and abilities. Thank you for providing me with a good foundation to a new skill and passion!

I was very impressed with this course, and in particular, my teacher Ian. He was patient, understanding and very knowledgable which allowed me to learn at my own pace and made me feel comfortable learning rather than making me feel small for not knowing. Thank you Ian1

I wish I could have taken the whole week course.

Great course overall! I was unsure how I would find it with it being delivered virtually (just my learning preference) but it wasn't a problem at all. It was really interactive the whole way through which was great. I found it really helpful for my learning style. I learnt a lot and this will certainly help me with my role at work. Thanks to Ian for a great course!

I really enjoyed the course, it covered so much over the three days. My instructor Iman was brilliant, she was very clear and was always willing to help with any queries we had.

Joshua was very kind and helpful. I would recommend him 100%. He answered all of my questions and if he was not sure about the answer he would research and find it. The content of the course was great, I learned what I needed and even more.

I found the instructor was excellent at his subject matter and personable but he went too fast and it was very hard to follow because it is very complex. I would say this course was hardly based at beginners. This is more due to the course content and what is expected to be covered rather than the instructor. I felt the instructor should have been on the same version as us – not a version that is older. The information about the exam was appalling. The instructor wasn't aware we were meant to do an exam until we asked him about it. We were not given information from Academy Class on how to sign up until a few hours before the exam which made us all stressed when we were meant to be focussed on studying. The instructions were also very unclear. We were expected to download software to do the practice exam just before the exam and most of us work for big companies that have firewalls and we can't just download software. My company takes days to grant permission. The instructor was able to download it and we went through the practice exam together on line. I felt the whole exam experience of signing in and get on to do it was a shambles. I also felt as if Academy Class would prefer us not to do the exam and it was reluctant to allow us to. Doing the exam was part of the deal with my company to attending the course. A Mac mouse won't right click during the exam to open pop up menus so I also lost points from this.

Joshua was an amazing instructor who was really able to help me get to grips with Blender in an enjoyable and easy way. I enjoyed my time on the course and his support in looking into other areas of design and creation. Cannot thank him enough.
