I recently completed an Indesign Course with Academy class and was extremely impressed with the professional standard of training and learnt so many new quick techniques which will help meet the most out of the software. A great experience with helpful tutors always willing to thoroughly explain everything. Would definitely recommend to anyone! . Keep it up 🙂 Hayley

It was 1-1 training as I was the only person on the Illustrator 301 course by Academy Class, therefore I was able to get answers to specific things I wanted to know.

I took the Photoshop 301 and Illustrator 301 courses which taught the more advanced features of the applications, and also helped with starting to prepare for taking the Adobe Certified Expert Exam. The staff were clear in the way they taught, and demonstrated the features using practical examples which were easy to follow. Highly recommended.

I went on two courses, Photoshop and Illustrator, and enjoyed them both. The teachers were enthusiastic and patient, which I found most reassuring. The recording of the class you attend is a brilliant idea. The course was easy to access thanks to the way it is taught and backup training is also available. They do impart a lot of information but are happy to repeat anything you miss. I would happily train there again.

Very happy with the training I received from Academy Class (InDesign CS5, Photoshop CS5 and Illustrator CS5). The course material was well-conceived, accessible and equally challenging. Trainers were skilled and personable. Great location right across from Waterloo station. My only recommendation is that they invest in a proper coffee machine! I will be going back to Academy Class for further training again for sure.

A bit fast but it is an advanced course and the teacher has an incredible amount of knowledge and taught some very useful things.

Tim’s knowledge and enthusiasm really made this training course worth while. I have learnt an incredible amount over the past two days. AT the beginning of the course Tim asked us what we’d like to learn and he covered all that and a whole lot extra. Cheers for a fantastic two days Tim!
