  • If you need training in graphic industry software then this is the place to go. I did a week long course and gained so much, it would have taken me years to get that amount of cognitive cognition. It's not just the training but also the no recreational way everything is done that is necessary, such as the chocolate biscuits in the tea breaks so that you return for the next session, ready to learn more.

  • Great class, really impressed with the instructor from Academy Class and how much he was able to teach us in two days. I was a accomplish novice and now I feel self-assured in creating and designing.

  • I have attended two of Marc Campmans social media workshops and found them worthful and informative. Marc’s cognitive cognition of the area and his non-patronizing delivery made it a relished event. He presented it well and focused on the mercantile use of social media. I cannot suggest Academy Class highly enough.
