The Adobe Premiere Bootcamp was awesome. A ton of information presented clearly and accessibly. The hands-on approach allowing you to follow step by step is priceless. And the instructor, Kristian, was always patient and happy to slow down or repeat anything as needed. He constantly checked with us to make sure we were following along, asking if we had any questions. He also volunteered his time outside of the classroom hours to discuss any other specifics etc. At the beginning of the week, it seemed like an overwhelming amount to learn, but each step unlocks your understanding and it all starts falling into place. Highly reccommended!

The class was well-paced, dynamic and entertaining. The lessons were paced so that you felt you fully grasped the concept but at the same time weren't bored of the topic. The instructor was friendly, patient, knowledgeable and gave professional examples to reinforce the concepts we were learning. I am walking away from this class knowing more than I was expecting and confident in my abilities. I will definitely be using Training Connection in the future for any classes I need to take.

This is the second class that I've taken with Kristian and I couldn't be happier with it. I've been switching over from Final Cut Pro to Premiere and this really helped me to think in Premiere rather than constantly translate.

The Adobe Premiere Pro training was excellent. The projects were engaging and showcased real-world applications for the program. The training covered everything I needed and more. The instructor was very knowledgeable and patient. His instructions were clear and helpful. The entire class was hands-on and very enjoyable. I would take another class from this instructor and this facility in a heartbeat. Thank you for a great week.

McKinley made this FUN! Not only does she know her stuff, she really seems to ENJOY what she is doing, which in turn made it enjoyable to be a student! She made sure to find out areas where each one of us, for all our different applications of the software, could benefit, even spent extra time with me to make sure I got a concept that will so help me at work. Excited to put what I have learned into practice! Thanks so much!

McKinley has a great blend of knowledge and down to earthness to be able to relate to every student on their own level. Even explaining basic principals, she packs in so much information that everyone can learn something new. She really knows what she is talking about.

McKinley was the perfect mixture of a top-notch professional and perfect pace. She knew every section and sub-section of her subject-matter without fail. When the class came upon a topic that was well-known, she was able to pick up the pace. When there were new and difficult applications, she easily slowed down and step-by-step went through the possible variations. I now feel empowered!

Kristian is a veritable Premier Pro God. There wasn't one question that he wasn't able to answer and I feel like I can competently work on editing film and video. He provided career advice and advised on realistic goals. I will definitely keep in contact with my instructor and refer others who are eager to learn to Training Connection.

Rob was a wonderful instructor. He was very informative, knew the products and was able to answer our questions in-depth and fully. While the class covered a lot of information there was a good balance of instruction and hands-on activities. I would recommend this class and instructor to fellow co-workers and others. I was impressed with the level of professionalism and knowledge this training facility and instructor brought.

This is my second class with instructor Rob, and I am just as pleased this time as I was the first time. Not only is he extraordinarily knowledgeable, but patient and considerate, as well. Attending the After Effects and Premiere Pro Bootcamps has boosted my efficiency and skillset enormously and been a huge payoff for my organization. I recommend these classes to everyone I know!

Rob is fantastic! My knowledge of Premiere was very basic. I'm leaving this course with an enhanced understanding of keyboard shortcuts, editing tricks and how to correct bad footage. I hope to be back next year to take his Adobe After Effects course. Thank you so much!!

McKinley is a wonderful instructor. Her mastery of the subject and friendly but confident teaching style made her class a real pleasure to participate in. I am inspired to take what I have learned and see what I can do on my own. Hopefully, in the future, I'll have the opportunity to take additional classes.
