  • I had training in Final Cut. In all the professional course and I wouldn't hesitate to suggest further.

  • I think Academy Class offers affordable training packages and in my own experience this is delivered by very knowledgeable and humble tutors. Both of the training centers I have visited have been well equipped and conducive to learning. The staff at your Waterloo center are welcoming and the team atmosphere seems relaxed but still professional. Perhaps the most appealing aspect is the reset opportunity as the content is highly technical and is difficult to absorb in a few days. I find the following few months after attending a class that I have retained about 75% and so the value of consolidation cannot be over stated.

Jason Cox

Adobe/Apple Certified Trainer, Video Editor at Academy Class

I've spent most of his life in and around the nation's capital, but now travel between there and my new home of Glasgow, Scotland. After graduating from Penn State with a degree in Film and a minor in English, I worked as an entertainment journalist, worked for Apple as a Creative, and spent a year traveling New Zealand and Japan. I became an Apple Certified Trainer in 2009, followed shortly thereafter as an Adobe Certified Instructor. In 2012, I published my first training book, the Final Cut Pro X Cookbook, and currently produce courses.
