Enjoyed the course but was already experienced in many of the early lessons. Would have preferred a more in-depth class. I was able to fine-tune my current skills rather than learn new ones. Teacher/Mike was great and he has a-lot of knowledge in the field and answered every question I had. He was very hands on which helped my confidence when using the software (after effects)

Prior to this course, I had no insight of After Effects at all. I now feel that I could approach a job and create it from start to finish. The instructor was very informative and extremely patient.

Simon had great knowledge of the software and was extremely helpful and supportive throughout. I would highly recommend Simon in the future. Great job - the session was held with a person in the classroom and myself via zoom. It felt very interactive and useful. What would be great in the future would be step by step actions on how to do a specific task.

Marek was a great I structor, patient, knowledgeable with a personable manner. He took us through each of the training blocks really well and answered any questions I had. I did find with the more complex exercises he did go at a fair pace. Sometimes I got a little behind with these due to my computer opening software for the first time. I did ask Marek to go back over the steps which he was very happy to do. One thing I'd suggest is that he could perhaps check in at regular stages with the trainees on these longer, more complex exercises just to make sure we're going at the same pace, have completed each stage and understood fully. A minor comment as overall I felt I got a lot out of the two days!

Really pleased with the course and Simon as the instructor! He managed to condense many of the questions I would have had into a really fun course - plus, I learned so much I wasn't even aware of prior to the course. I wish there was an extra advanced course with him because I'd love to continue learning motion graphics! Thanks again. :)

I gave IT a satisfactory score as I'm at home and had a bit of trouble finding the windows in Zoom (shared screen window disappeared) but once I realised the problem it was easily fixed. Simon was always happy to go back and explain something if I didn't understand. (Jen was very prompt and helpful in her responses too.)

Simon was enthusiastic and very knowledgable about after effects, he listened where we were coming from with the software and tailored the tuition to ensure that all the areas we were interested in were covered, and kept us engaged in what we were doing. He offered great support and was more than happy to help. I'm actually dissapointed he won't be my instructor on the continuation of the course in July! I was also very curious to see how the course would work over zoom - and was plesantly surprised at how well it worked, and would definately consider taking further courses in this way.

5/5 Stars
Given that it was all done through Zoom, it went remarkably well. Simon was a lovely guy, super approachable and never made anyone feel silly for the questions asked. Even on the first day when I didn't have access to a mic, he still gave time to read my questions in the chat which was much appreciated. His passion for what he does also showed, it encouraged me to work harder which was nice. It showed he cared about it
