6 reviews for Maya – Zero to HERO

  1. Lee Medcalf –

    A good bespoke course full of information and extremely useful. The trainer was extremely friendly and knowledgeable

  2. Stuart Reeves –

    Kevin was great, a true asset to Academy Class for what is a very difficult course.

  3. Paul –

    A good base knowledge of the program was achieved, though I do feel a bespoke course should be taught from an experienced person in that sector. I did however learn a lot this week about the interface and some basic concepts.

  4. Naseera Mangera –

    What stood out for me at Academy Class was being taught new skills in a easy and relaxed environment.

  5. James Lucas, Responsible Trade Worldwide –

    I attended my second course at Academy Class, and again, I was extremely impressed with the trainers knowledge and they way the course was customised to meet my requirements. I attended the course with a work colleague and we were both very impressed with how much we got from the course.

  6. Nicolo Bacialli –

    Yeah, she is good and funny as well. Always quite available to help. She goes a little fast, but eventually repeats herself to help the others
