Onsite Adobe After Effects Courses

Our bespoke Adobe After Effects courses can be organised onsite at your offices on dates to suit you or your team. This means we can arrange a private tailored course with content customised to your workflow requirements, on dates to suit you and without the need to leave the office! This offers many advantages and there is no increase in the actual training cost although basic travel expenses may be additional for courses organised outside of the London, Manchester or Newcastle areas.



We can provide this course onsite at your offices without additional expenses in a wide range of locations surrounding our main training centres including anywhere with the M25 and greater Manchester but many others so please ask for details based on your location.

"The training and knowledge was great, very engaging. The lunch vouchers are a good idea and would be amazing if places actually accepted them. The unlimited tea and biscuits was great and so was the location of the building."

5/5 Stars

"Great, probably needed to be more of a week."

4/5 Stars

"Would have liked to have spent the 2 days working towards the completion of a single project, which could have utilised each of the techniques we were taught."

5/5 Stars

"Great tutor, great content - really learnt a great deal over 2 days. "

5/5 Stars

"Possibly too quick for beginner course. I've learned a lot, but not enough time to right down how I've done it. Though After Effects is a complicated piece of software."

4/5 Stars

"If anything, After Effects Beginner Level Course was a little faster paced than Premiere Pro Beginner Course I attended last week. It just made it a little harder to follow & take notes at the same time. "

5/5 Stars

"Although I had a basic understanding of the course topics it still taught me a lot about workflow and why you use the things we use and a lot of visual effects things that I did not know. Thank you "

5/5 Stars

"I came into the course thinking it would be extremely basic, however I found the course very in depth and feel i can use the skills gained very well in my role"

"Thanks Simon!!"

4/5 Stars

"Very chilled atmosphere and friendly tuition. The smaller class sizes definitely make a difference."

4/5 Stars

"Not having any knowledge at all of After Effects meant that I was not easily able to navigate around it - as a starter to the course it would have been very helpful if some time could be spent on the basic navigation tools."

4/5 Stars

"This course has been brilliant - I have learnt more than I was expecting from a beginners course and the tutor went through everything at a good pace for everyone in the room. I feel much more confident in the software now and hope to be able to do the next stage of the training at a later date to improve further. "

5/5 Stars

"Simon was excellent."

4/5 Stars

"Simon is a great personality to learn from. Unfortunately we had issues where the Macs in the training room were not working so we wasted 30 minutes. A nice surprise is that we got some official Adobe books to takeaway BUT there was not enough to go around all the team - these will be sent on to the office, hopefully. Otherwise a great couple of days - really enjoyed and had fun refreshing my skills in AE"

5/5 Stars

"I found the course very enjoyable and I gained a lot from only a two day session. Thanks again."

"Very knowledgable and friendly instructor. Location easy to get to. Hopefully we will be able to take home considerable resources to help us continue to learn"

5/5 Stars

"This is my third time with Xchange and the first time with Andrew. Andrew has been an excellent trainer and takes the time to explain things in great detail. He was also happy to advise me at lunchtime on a few issues i have been having with software. Outstanding trainer. "

5/5 Stars

"Course trainer is excellent. Very knowledagable and friendly, he has managed to cover a lot of basic in two days and I feel I can make a good start in making motion graphics when I finish the course."

4/5 Stars

"Great course. Thank you. "

5/5 Stars

"Brilliant course. Trainer was excellent, moved at a fair speed and allowed everyone to be up to date before moving on. Hopefully will be doing Level 2 as I don't feel I am finished with the programme yet."

"Bespoke training much appreciated in helping to gain the most from the time spent within training room. This will help me achieve my project tasks much more quickly and efficiently. Trainer most amiable and knowledgeable. Classroom in a book a welcome leaving bonus. Overall a far better experience than with academy class used previously for Premier Pro training"
