    Great class... The instructor was both highly knowledgeable and creative, bringing elements of history, development and practical use together in his approach to teaching After Effects. I only withheld one star due to the limitations of a two-day course. Recommended!

Review Summary by CourseHorse

Students have praised the advanced Adobe After Effects CC class for its knowledgeable and creative instructor who successfully combines history, development, and practical use in his teaching. While the course was only two days long, it was still highly recommended due to its effectiveness. One student who participated in a three-day training course at FMC Irvine was pleased with their experience, finding the "Connected" learning environment to be equal to the excellent live on-site training offered by FMC. The facilities, individual attention, and the opportunity to interact with other students across the country in real time were all exceptional. The instructor's use of stories and metaphors to explain complex concepts was highly enjoyable. Students were able to learn everything they needed and appreciated that the course was adapted to their specific needs. Direct quotes: - "The instructor was both highly knowledgeable and creative, bringing elements of history, development, and practical use together in his approach to teaching After Effects." - "The instructor and pacing were both spot on, and I especially enjoyed his use of stories and metaphors to explain and clarify complex concepts, all combined in an easy and helpful manner." - "Was able to cover everything needed and the course was adapted to our needs."
