Course Reviews
John was very engaging and supported our mistakes. He took us through what went wrong which was great. I will definitely be doing the refresher course once I have used Adobe Animate in real life projects. Thank you
John was fantastic, he was incredibly patient with us while we repeated steps and explained Adobe Animate to me as a rookie. He was able to link the learning with our Illustrator training.
Great course. We created something real for us to use in our workload rather than working on generic exercises so I enjoyed learning what was real for us. Was great resources for future reference also - really enjoyed - great facilitator that can slow down and get you back on track when you stumble.
Well-paced, with a great balance of pre-planned exercises and tailored activities based on students' requests/questions.
