"A great range of topics covered with great tutorial advice. Andrew was patient and knowledgable on all areas."

5/5 Stars

"Great-not too overwhelming and topics were all touched on at least once before so I had a small grasp of them before exploring them in more detail. Course has helped streamline my work flow and my knowledge of animate features that can be quite confusing. Pace was easy to follow and tasks were fun and not difficult to keep up with"

5/5 Stars

"Really knowledgeable, helpful and passionate tutor. It was a nice touch that Andrew learnt what each pupil wanted to learn from the course, or what it is they already knew. He kept linking it back to this throughout the two days. He had no trouble about answering questions outside of the designated lesson either. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone looking to further their after effects knowledge."

5/5 Stars

"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

"Really responsive, excellent sessions. Great inclusivity and awareness of what we wanted to achieve and much more."

4/5 Stars

"Overall the course was enjoyable and fun. Simon was excellent and patient when teaching. "

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."

5/5 Stars

"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."

4/5 Stars

"Andrew is a great teacher. Facilities spot on, good location. Will 100% book in future"

5/5 Stars

"I feel like i've learnt everything that i wanted to at this stage, so that i can go away and make some cool social media videos and gifs"

5/5 Stars

"Very enjoyable course, well paced and I got out of it what I needed. Tutor has good all round knowledge of subject and could communicate well. Thank you."

5/5 Stars

"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"
