  • Superlative overview of Adobe After Effects. The trainer was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator, I think he made all efforts to get us inside the educational experience. The venue is basic but with all the necessary to feel comfortable studying there or just relaxing, I totally recommend it.

  • I attended the After Effects CS5 Zero to Hero courses in Academy Class London and I was really happy what I did! The instructors were competent and knowledgeable. The course was very well structured, starting with basic concepts and structuring up to advanced techniques and tricks in the last couple of days. I also liked the room setup where everyone has a screen next to his/her iMac and where the instructor shared his screen. Very handy to follow the practical exercises. All the staff in general was very nice and helpful.
