5/5 Stars
Fab introduction to Adobe Animate - moved at a swift pace and covered lots of elements, but it was still delivered in a way which was easy to follow and understand. The notes/movies which have been provided for after the training was over are going to be a huge help as I continue my learning journey in Adobe Animate.

As a complete amateur to Animate, it broke down the package to be far more understandable and less daunting to use.

Alan was an excellent instructor. He catered to the content to my requirements. I found it valuable to see an expert in their practice. The city centre venue is good but the room was a little hot after a while, though Alan did turn on an AC unit. I don't think there's much you can do about this. 1-day 1:1 tuition is good but it has a high pace - a lot to practice afterwards. Please pass on my thanks to Alan.

It was a good experience. I came in with a self taught level understanding of Animate so it helped understanding a lot within Day 1 and Day 2. I was very pleased to understand the different options and capabilities Animate had to offer which ofcourse I was only scratching the surface. Overall Alan was very clear and concise with the training delivery, very patient with us remote learners. I understand most of his training, personally the coding bit is something I will have to go back in my own time but the rest is very applicable to my day to day work and future projects. I am very happy with Alans training.
