5/5 Stars
Course was fast-paced and initially it was difficult to make notes at the same time. Later realised that instructor Allen had included course notes as part of the course files. There is far more than can be covered in two days but Allen did really well to take in as much as he did.

Alan had a lot of knowledge in the programme and was friendly and engaging. I liked the variation in projects and therefore really enjoyed the course.

My trainer, Alan was very helpful and friendly. He didn't rush ahead and kept things at my pace. If I didnt understand anything, he took the extra time to explain things. Excellent trainer all round really.

As you can see from my feedback, I was very happy with the course. I felt it was well paced and clear to follow. Having course notes and tips to refer to later on is a great bonus. Alan was also very patient when mistakes made or anyone falling behind.

Very patient trainer - good pace and manner and able to modify when we had some issues to overcome or different pace on tasks on group. Answered all questions and very good knowledge. Some very helpful tips and provided a wide range of additional assets and materials we can refer to. Covered more that I expected and feel happy to know more than enough to get started in the software. Better than expected using Teams rather than previous training in workplace.

Alan was fantastic. Explained things very clearly and was able to answer any questions we had, often giving actual examples and talking us through the process. He was very patient and took the time to make sure everyone was up to speed and had a good understanding before moving onto the next step. He was also able to give us links to further resources and other external websites that we could use in the future.

Only feedback would be to use more up to date graphics. Some graphics used looked a bit dated. I know this was an intro on how to use the actual software so the graphics used doesn't really effect that, but it was just a thought.

I really enjoyed the training provided, and thought that the pace of the course and the content was excellent for beginners in Animate. I felt we were given enough knowledge and confidence to try and work through some of the more basic items on our own. I think the written notes provided for each exercise is a fantastic addition to the course material, as it meant we weren't trying to take notes while training, and could concentrate on what was happening on screen. The notes will be great to refer back to if we either work through the examples again ourselves to build confidence, or for referring back to when doing stand alone projects. Thanks Alan!

Alan Rankin was an excellent trainer. Verbal and written Steps will be of huge help. Morning session in particular was very informative. Would have preferred a two-day course with this trainer. Afternoon session was a bit more intense and contained some elements which we may look at in future. Many thanks.

I really enjoyed the training. Kevin was on time, highly knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions, putting me at ease and making me feel like if I didn't quite get something, it wouldn't be an issue to stop and go over it again. Considering it was just a one day course, I learnt enough to be able to understand how to put together a good quality interactive animation, which was the objective we had set at the start of the course. Highly recommended and I'll certainly be back if time and budget allows in the future!

Whilst a challenging and technical area to learn Alan was fantastic in the way the techniques were broken down and then revisited on numerous occasions to build confidence and to ensure that it had been understood. The exercise at the end to create my own animation was testament to how much had been learnt and absorbed. Fantastic!
