I have attended 4 Adobe courses at their location in Manchester, each time I have been greeted by a friendly instructor and made to feel at ease very quickly. I found the teaching style of one instructor (Ian Gilbert) to be highly effective for me personally, making the course content very easy to digest and apply. My skill level has drastically increased since attending these courses. Everything is done in a relaxed atmosphere at a comfortable pace and each time I have come away excited at how I could apply my new skills at work. Outside of the courses, the location is ideal, just a short walk from the train station, lunch vouchers provided which can be used at multiple places in the immediate area. With coffee and cookies provided in the comfortable seating area, it all adds up to a fun learning environment. I have had no hesitation in recommending Academy Class to people and will always go to them before looking at any other provider.

I attended a Premiere Pro zero to hero course and found the training, staff and learning environment top class – I now use my newly achieved skills every day and am researching the next training package with them that works for me.

I learnt a huge amount on the Premiere Pro Zero – Hero Class and feel ready to use the software to a competent level, only with practical use can I improve. The class was well paced with excellent tuition, the environment was fun and relaxed which aided the learning.

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 The reason why I only gave 4* rather than 5* is that the equipment wasn’t really up to scratch. The windows systems were just about ok but as a Mac user our systems were pretty old. They did the trick but there were a couple of crashes as the mice in the wheel inside couldn’t keep up with the power needed.. It didn’t spoil the courses at all but does need looking at
