When choosing the best Online After Effects Class for you, think about the following:
Course Content: Make sure the online curriculum matches your current skill level as well as your learning goals. Whether you're a beginner looking for foundational knowledge or an experienced user aiming to master advanced techniques, the course should cater for your specific needs. If you are unsure, feel free to call us or email us at Training Connection and we can easily advise you.
Instructor Expertise: Look for courses taught by professionals with plenty of industry experience. Instructors who have real-world experience and who can answer your many questions is what you really want. Free YouTube videos have their place but without access to an expert who can provide valuable insights and practical tips and who can answer questions, these routes can be very frustrating and underwhelming.
Student Reviews: Ahh, the big one. Make sure you read all the testimonials and reviews of the online course you want to do from past students so you can see what other attendees in your shoes thought of the course. Positive feedback is obviously a great indictor but also look at how the company handled constructive criticism and whether they actioned changes and improvements.
Support Resources: Next, check if the course offers easy access to training manuals, to forums, to Q&A sessions, as well as to direct instructor support. Does the course cover a Motion Graphics Online Course and Visual Effects Training Online? Ours do. Having a support system in place can help you tremendously when you encounter challenges and well… it just adds to your overall learning experience (and we all want a positive, memorable experience when we learn something new and exciting).
After Effects Certification Online: Make sure the course provides a recognized certificate upon completion. A certificate is a must so you can prove that you have the training to back up your newly acquired skills – it’s a valuable addition to your professional portfolio.
At Training Connection, we offer live, Instructor-led Online After Effects Classes designed to be interactive and totally engaging – we feature small class sizes, ensuring personalized attention, and we also include a free repeat option valid for six months, allowing you to safely book knowing you'll be able to do the course again to help retain all the information. Plus we also offer a money-back guarantee and a certificate of course completion!
What if I just do a FREE Online After Effects Course?
While free online After Effects classes for beginners are easy to find, thanks in large part to Google’s second largest search engine, YouTube, they do come with limitations in how broad they are, how much they are lacking in in-depth content and most, if not all, have no practical problem solving element, instead they rely on 'comments' that have zero engagement after a short period of time. Without access to correct up to date information from live instructors, most people will end up signing up with a Training Centre anyway, having wasted a fair amount of time in the process. These 'free' courses are easy to spot as most won’t provide you with a nuanced understanding of the subject matter. Most are also there to function as marketing tools (why else would they offer it for ‘free’ – as amazing as that would be, humans simply don’t work like this – apologies for the cynicism). They are there to entice learners with introductory material while at the same time trying to upsell premium content or services – something called or at best akin to ‘clickbait’, where the goal is to collect your personal or company information solely for promotional purposes rather than to deliver a proper education. It’s always better to pay a little and gain a lot.
