  • I have been on training courses with Academy Class for most Adobe CS software and recently the Android App Development – Firstly the welcome there is always warm, with really friendly and helpful staff and instructors. The facilities are everything you need, with a choice of Mac or PC. The tuition is considered and logical, covering as much as you can reasonably take in within the given course duration. I'm truly grateful for the efforts of the people from Academy Class. I can't recommend them highly enough.

  • I had a fundamental comprehension of the subject, yet the course was drawn nearer in the correct way and was helpful for me and the others that went to. I certainly turned out with more information of the subject and feel a great deal more positive about moving toward what I do.

  • I undertook the Android essentials course which was seven days in length and truly incredible for becoming more acquainted with the fundamentals of the Android stage. The teacher was inviting, proficient and exceptionally supportive. I am unquestionably considering backpedaling to do the iPhone one.

What I would highlight: I prepared with Academy Class for both the Android and iOS kick off courses and I was astonished by the aptitude of their educators. Both teachers were so exceptional with the most recent innovations and they had every one of the answers which the students asked.The iOS educator educated us that he had been coding since he was 7 years of age and that was reflected in the actuality the he knew iOS, Photoshop, HTML5, PhP...! I have effectively made Academy class my first point of contact when I require preparing as a software developer and I will prescribe them to my knowns when they require preparing.
What could be improved: Nothing was bad.
Would you recommend this course?: Yes
