Matthew Wood –
I have completed a course in After Effects at Academy Class. The course was really well structured. Everything was set up and ready to go the moment you entered the classroom. It was well laid out with a screen between two to follow the instructor and a computer each to have a go at each section. (I was even emailed prior to the course asking which computer platform I preferred.) The instructor was keen and had excellent knowledge. He was always willing to answer any questions and to get hands on if any of the group started having problems or losing there way. The only downside was that the computers weren’t the most powerful so rendering and viewing your work could be a bit tedious. All in all an excellent course, it was easy to follow and you came away believing you were able to produce decent quality work in After Effects.

Being a relative amateur I did both a Premier Pro and After Effects course in Manchester and found both to be very good. Learnt so much from good teachers who had a lot of patience with us students with some who were already accomplished but needed certification and like myself, novices. Would definitely recommend to others.
Shaun B. –
Did the After Effects basic course, well worth while. Very good and patient teacher, classes structured to cover a lot of ground without being either bored or confused. Recommended.
Johanna Rodrigues –
Amazing mastery and very helpful with any question we asked. Easygoing personality and easy to follow. I really appreciate also the reference websites,resources and plug ins advices as well.

Simone –
The instructors was clear for all the duration of the course
Dan Barber –
Excellent course, was able to tailor learning to meet my requirements
Jasmine Shields –
I felt I had to ask several times for Kelman to explain some of the exercises, to a point were sometimes some explanations weren’t very clear and I would need to ask him to repeat himself. I found it very hard to be able to participate in the exercises and also take notes. On a few occasions I would ask how to do something in particular and I would be told we were coming to that later on in the course, it felt very much that he was working to a schedule/script and wasn’t willing to move or adjust anything, even though we were there the whole week, also when asking how to do some things we were told it wasn’t part of the course.
Claire Grey –
Ian was a great tutor, patient, interesting & very helpful
Joshua Parker –
Ian was an excellent teacher who took the time to talk to individual pupils and was easy to approach if we needed to ask any questions.
Charles Buckley –
Excellent! Knowledgeable and very helpful. A lot of thought has been put into the course and I an has been great! I look forward to taking part in many more courses in the future.
Andy Crispe –
Nick definitely knew After Effects well and gave a good insight into how to organise what things need to go where and how to view just the bits you’re working on, which didn’t seem very exciting (and I think most trainers wouldn’t dwell on this aspect) but it was invaluable if I was doing a project of my own, as the screen can quickly look overwhelming unless the assets are organised well.
Laetitia Guichard –
Ben, the trainer is very good. very articulate, approachable and breaks down complex information into manageable chunks. really excellent teacher.
Sophie –
I enjoyed the course thoroughly.
Simon –
Great course with a great teacher.
Samantha –
Great course, needed a lot of help but Ian very patient. Found it hard going but hopefully with practice should get the benefits of this course and utilise them in my current role
vrajlal –
a lot of information to take in
Georgia –
Brilliant course – I was a total newcomer and now I feel confident that I could do the essentials of After Effects on my own. Ian the instructor was very listenable and engaging while teaching. He was attentive to those who asked questions or needed help and gave us interesting tasks to do to keep us engaged! Would highly recommend to others.
Richard –
Great course.
Boyce –
The pace of the course could have been a little faster for me but the balance for the group seemed ok. I like the side demonstration screen and the overall room setup. The computers are too slow. Better coffee in the breakout room.
Monika –
VEry knowleadgable instructor. Interesting, enjoyable lessons, just the right amount of information. Was very happy about the pace which let us take our time to process all the new information that was given to us.
Emmanuelle –
As I am not coming from a Graphic Designer background, I would have benefited from a bit more time practising each exercises and having a bit more one to one help. However in the 3 days, we covered a lot and I feel that I learned a lot and didn’t feel overwhelmed. Very positive indeed. I just need to practise! Ben is obviously very knowledgeable and communicates in a very clear manner
Christian –
Whether it has been network related issues or processor power of the computers, the work process has ben lagging.
Matt –
Looking forward to part 2 Green belt and the fact that I can come back and retake the course within 18 months is fantastic. Great course!
Jane –
Really enjoyed the course it was useful and interesting.
liam –
The training lab itself was not a very suitable, too small, poor tables/chairs etc.. not got suitable air con and far too small for the amount of people in it. also for the price, lunch should be provided. i would suggest that the training could be a little more bespoke if we could have a day where it was about creating our own project with our own company’s assets that we submit before hand.
Amanda –
Would have been good to have a couple of days working on a personal project, however I understand this may not be possible with everyone focusing on different things.
GEMMA –
There was no option of using an Apple Mac which wasn’t clear when booking. All other courses I have attended there have been options. We had no access to the room without someone unlocking the door so going to the toilet etc could mean you were locked out of the corridor and couldn’t get back in. I would’ve expected lunch to be included in a course of this cost. Its a longer walk from Piccadilly than what it states on the details.
Debbie –
I have just completed the three day 101 After Effects course remotely linking up to London. The course was excellent and that was down to the instructor Ben Dale. Ben was engaging, interesting and provided fantastic exercises for the class to work on as well as excellent notes to take away. I would recommend any course with Ben in the future.
Jonathan –
Excellent course to learn the basic functions of Aftereffects would highly recommend for anyone to looking to take their first steps in using the tools to create motion graphics. Ben the tutor is fantastic and very good at explaining step by step.
Jack –
A very good introduction to After Effects. Everything I needed and expected.
Aga –
Great jokes by Ben!
Caitlin –
I had taken an AC Premiere Pro class prior to this which covered a lot of the same material, so was disappointing to go through this again. Understand this was a beginner’s course but felt extremely basic and slow – felt we could have covered a lot more in the time. Feel like we learned a lot of tools but not much about how to apply them in creating contemporary content.
tarcan –
good instructor, unfortunately doesn’t support arsenal
Kurtis –
Very in depth and a good intro to after effects – learnt a lot even though I have been using after effects for a few months on and off… Highly recommended
Cameron –
New Macs
Joe –
Outstanding!
James –
Thorough introduction into After Effects and thought Tom was a great instructor!
Jonathan –
Felt like we learned a great deal in a short amount of time, Ian kept it all very interesting and would incorporate things we wanted to look at.
Penny –
Great course, really enjoyed learning the basics for After Effects. Instantly want to do more on it. Ian was great, open to all questions/queries and adaptable when we wanted to try something off course.
Georgina –
Really enjoyed the course, Ian is a great teacher, really well skilled in the sector and happy to answer and of our questions no matter the challenge.
Kirsty –
Taken as a refresher course – really useful in helping me remember lots of aspects taught on the course!
