Giorgia Spanoudis – June 27, 2016

Academy class has state of the art facilities and combined with the highly skilled trainer Michael Nugent, these sessions have been a great learning experience. The trainer had an all-inclusive knowledge in the subject and continuously checked we had a full on understanding for every topic. The course generally had a relaxed and friendly feel, which made it easier and less stressful to ask questions with lots of opportunities for help and guidance about your individual work related complications ï¿½ spanning from lighting design to kitchen manufacturing! I would definitely recommend Academy Class a top training institute with no hesitation.

Richard Spry-Shute, East Sussex County Council – June 21, 2016

Training with Academy Class was both enjoyable, due in most part to the excellent tutor and teaching style, as well as the warm welcome each day given by all of the staff at the training centre. The AutoCAD training I received was just what I needed to make life at work far more manageable, although my new skills meant that many more people found work for me to do! I would highly recommend any Academy Class to anyone looking to learn or improve upon their existing CAD skills.

James North (CAD Associate) – June 21, 2016

I have just completed a 1-week CAD course which I found to be excellent. The instructor, Michael Nugent, was highly competent and delivered a first class course. The pace was just right for me and the content was very comprehensive. Thanks to the Academy Class and Michaels expert help I passed my CAD Associates exam after 5 days instruction.
