  • I have gone to Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator courses at the Manchester branch of Academy class, and appraise both the lessons and the crew as the perfect I have at any point experienced. The crew are inviting, useful, and exceptionally experienced. I would prescribe Academy Class to my companions and associates as you will recieve a top quality session, you get the chance to take away a truly helpful Adobe book significant to your course.

  • It is not necessarily 100% worth it's value for money. I fell the course could have been condensed down to 4 days instead of 5 but that is because I was lucky to be in a class of 4. If the class was full 5 days would be necessary.
