Course testimonials

Jen said: Antony presented the course at a great pace, and provided clear instructions and was able to assist all of us where we had queries. I feel much better placed to use the program now in my role at work.
Alicia said: As someone who has spent many hours messing around in Premiere Pro, this course was very helpful in understanding what and why one might do certain things, and learning quicker and better ways to do things. The tutor was highly knowledgeable. The tutor followed up with an email of further resources and tips, which was above and beyond. Would recommend it to anyone interested in video editing.
Kurt said: Excellent teacher. Very clear demonstrations on all basic elements of using Premier Pro. Left the course feeling well prepared to start video editing and refining skills learnt.
Erisana said: I learned a lot during the two days. The teacher was very friendly and his explanations made adobe premiere pro seem very easy. I also loved the real context tasks we had to do. Being able to edit a trailer and edit a 1'30 video clip were great experiences.
Chongrong said: The tutor was really easy to approach and would welcome and answer questions as we went. He also is mindful of the time and the content he needs to go through so that we can get the most out of the course. He also pointed out things to look out for and tips for the best practice. The course note is also such a handy reference for our after-course/reality practice. Thank you.
