"I can't say enough how fantastic McKinley is as an instructor. Her real-world experience coupled with examples that are extremely useful, makes this seem more like personal one-on-one training rather than a class. I am definitely going to look into the other classes she teaches and see about signing up for them. She is very professional and extremely pleasant and I will recommend to colleagues that they take any class she teaches."
Sean Tom | USC School of Pharmacy"The level of detail offered was beyond what I expected; I greatly appreciated that. The instructor's knowledge of the software and all its applications, including how it interacts with other programs is astounding. Her knowledge of video and audio technology, industry standards, and etc. is impressive. In addition, McKinley is a comprehensive instructor; she provides real world examples and uses humor as well. Terrific class"
Cheryl Lee | Regional Occupational Program"Love this course. Kristian is the best. Friendly, patient and great teaching techniques. Very creative. This is my second time here. I had so much fun the first time I had to come back. This training has really changed my career as an editor. Looking forward to taking more Adobe courses here in the future. Thanks!"
Evan Sabourin | DIRECTV"This class was awesome. The only regret that I have was that I didn't do it sooner! Kristian was awesome! He far surpassed any expectations I had. His skills and teaching methods were top notch. His patience and concern for the students to learn was great. I would highly recommend this class to anyone. So glad I got to do this. Thanks Kristian!"
Matt McCready | DIRECTV"McKinley was so helpful and knowledgeable. I come from a print background and a lot of the After Effects concepts were new and challenging but she made it fun and accessible. I'm excited to use can't recommend this class enough."
