only limitations were my own as I have no design background and am unfamiliar with all other platforms. Some experience with design tech would be more helpful than a standing start. Was very happy to watch demos rather than struggling to keep up with building my own versions simultaneously

Marek was a great tutor. Made things easy to understand and gave lots of real life examples of applications of the techniques and tools in After Effects. The lack of support on mac for the test exam environment was not ideal though but could still be done by connecting to Mareks machine remotely.

I really want to praise here for the course instructor Mr Marek. He is really the best and has excellent knowledge for the software AfterEffects and other Adobe softwares as well. During the course i have asked him so many questions and asked for the repetition of the animations without any question he helped me. He is patient and kind as well. Also management of the Xchange is really accommodating.

Very positive. Definitely chose the right level for my experience of After Effects. Covered quite a lot in a short space of time so I hope I can remember most of it. I would maybe have liked a longer day, so perhaps starting earlier so suggesting a 9am start instead of 10am, just to allow more time to fit in more content.

I think the only thing missing was some notes to support the content as it was delivered such as a crib sheet with short cuts and key technical terminology. It was hard to keep on track and make notes at the same time. Tom did offer to record the second day which will be helpful if wanting to recap on certain aspects.

It was a great introduction into the world of After effects, which I now understand to be a beast of program when it comes to what it can produce. Tom was great and helped us step by step along the way and was very knowledgeable about the program. There were a few times his connection cut out, however this did not hinder the learning experience. It would of been nice to have seen the example of what we are going to produce shown at the beginning of the session so we have a better understanding of what we are aiming for. In addition to this, as its the first time we've more or less used the program, I believe it would of been great to have a Crib sheet or some notes sent to us before the session. We questioned this at the beginning of our second day, and only then the session was recorded and helpful documents were sent soon after. Completely understand for copyright reasons some things cant be done, but just a small A4 crib sheet with shortcuts or a run down of the days key actions might have been great for the introductory session. Overall enjoyed the Adobe After Effects Two Day Introduction Training Course, as it has provided myself with food for thought going forward.

Opportunities to learn what I needed to or what I was interested in. Simon was able to create little projects for any idea for anything I wanted to learn.

Tutor was very knowledgeable and understood how to teach different elements of AE. From beginner to expert level info. Would have preferred a little more indepth on a few things rather than a whistle stop tour, but it was good nonetheless. Perhaps having a continual tutor from start to finish needs to be within isolation as there were a few overlaps of teaching on day 3/4/5 (predominantly day 5 prep for exam) as individual added on to the course was with a different tutor.

Very good experience. Well delivered. Friendly environment. Kind of gutted I didn't go for the full beginner and advanced. Only slight bit of feedback would be signage to the training rooms as intercom wasn't working, and the email didn't specify what floor to go to. Maybe better signage or clearer pre-course instructions.
