Maxon Cinema 4D 101: Yellow Belt - Introduction course, 3 days
-
I was sent to learn Cinema 4D at Academy Class and I must say it is a highly recommendable course. I found the interface very complex at the start, but gained a lot of knowledge in 3 days with the help of our great instructor, who was very patient and answered all the questions we had. I would definitely advise anyone to take any of the courses at Academy Class!

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.
