Joel Loera | American National

Honestly, this class was awesome. I have always wanted to learn more about Illustrator and have been frustrated that my creativity was limited by my understanding of the program. After taking this Bootcamp class, I have an entirely new understanding of Illustrator and I'm excited to be able to put these skills to use in my job. Eva was the sweetest teacher and was always available to answer questions and show us real-world examples of projects and ways to use our new skills. I couldn't recommend this program more highly - very grateful to have had this opportunity. Looking forward to returning to take the Photoshop bootcamp class! Thanks!

Eva was wonderful. I was incredibly intimidated by Illustrator and by the time I left I felt like I had a great starting point at which to go home and practice my new skills. She made it accessible, fun, and a comfortable environment to ask questions in. I always felt like I had the right amount of attention when I needed it.

This is my second class with Eva, and I must say that her knowledge of the software was once again impressive. She has an extensive understanding of every tool and function that the book lessons touched base on. I would take a third class with Eva in a heartbeat! She deserves a birthday bonus!

Eva was a wonderful teacher and incredibly knowledgeable. She knows Illustrator inside and out and was very helpful with applying real-world things she has used it for. I had no clue how much I really didn't know about Illustrator and am excited to go to work tomorrow and apply the new things I have learned to my job! Thank you!

This class was awesome! I am amazed at the power of this program and the ways that you can apply this to so many things in the real world. Our instructor (Eva) came highly recommended and after 3 days - I can understand why! She was passionate, excited about what she was teaching, gave us real-world examples - I would recommend her to others as well. Thank you for providing an overall A+ experience. This facility was clean, modern, a great place to learn!

The teacher was thorough, fun, engaging and not only answered questions but gave demonstrations of how to answer them. The step by step instruction paired with smaller projects as time went on seemed more effective than learning tools within the context of larger projects. Great teacher- fun class!

I'm very glad that I took this course. After 3 days, I feel like I have a full grasp of the Adobe Illustrator tools and how to best use them. I learned many tips and tricks that I will apply in real-world situations. Kristian was a wonderful instructor. He made the class fun, informative, and went above and beyond with every aspect of the class. I learned more in 3 days than in all of my online courses on sites like lynda.com. There's no substitute for a live teacher where you can ask all of the questions you want and get detailed answers on the spot.

As someone with previous Illustrator experience, I found myself surprised by the number of new concepts, tips, and tricks I learned from the Training Connection course. Eva was knowledgeable, friendly, upbeat, and had a wonderful way of making the material approachable and easy to absorb.

Chana is a fantastic teacher who knows Illustrator like the back of her hand, maybe better. She is very patient and can answer any questions you have. She can explain a concept in five different ways, if necessary. I would recommend her as a teacher to anyone!

This is the second time I have traveled to LA from the DC area to train at this facility. I feel that your courses are robust and have great instructors. Kristian was an amazing instructor. Great pace, real-life examples, passion, knowledge. Most important he made the course and content enjoyable. I was a little bummed the week was over. I wanted to do and learn more. Nonetheless, I have a good start on my Ai journey.

I really enjoyed this class. I was able to obtain an extensive level of skill and knowledge in AI in a very short period of time. Eva did a wonderful job of focusing on the parts of each lesson that would maximize the value of the class and really develop our skills.

I have taken many software classes and Eva, by far, knows the most about her product than I've ever encountered in a classroom. She is also the most pleasant instructor I've ever met. :-)

I have now taken the Illustrator and InDesign classes with Chana and I think that she is amazing. I'm so glad that I took her two classes as well as the Photoshop class with Beverly. I'm now hooked to Adobe and I can't wait to practice at home! I wish that you guys had night or weekend classes because I don't think that my work would let me take more time off.

Kristian was highly detailed in his course curriculum drawing from his extensive background knowledge and experience with adobe and he was exactly what I was looking for in an instructor, as I was initially nervous to sign up for a Bootcamp style class. He understood clearly how I needed to apply the skillsets I was looking to acquire, for me to apply to my real-world business scenarios. He had a perfect balance of high-density info delivery in a fun positive full of humor teaching style. It was a personal investment for acquiring new professional-caliber skills well spent. The training center was very clean, along with the equipment being top-notch. I would take classes here again, and the free snacks and coffee were definitely a bonus.

Eva was an excellent instructor and I would definitely attend another class she was teaching. She was easy to understand, easy to follow, and she kept a great pace ... but had no issues slowing down and allowing me to catch up when needed! Thank you very much for the awesome learning experience!

Dante Morreale | C.E. Niehoff

Eva is a great instructor. For our private classes, she tailors the curriculum to add in our own companies challenges and obstacles, not just simply following a pre-assigned work assignment. We look forward to the Photoshop class and presenting our own examples so we can take away the very most from our training experience.

Kristen Thies | St. Baldrick's Foundation

Beverly is a fabulous teacher who moves at a perfect pace, slow enough to learn and critically think about each step, but not too slow where it's wasted time. I would highly recommend her to someone who is in need of a refresher course, or even someone who has never touched an Adobe product!

This was my third class with Eva at the Training Connection. As with the previous two courses, she proved to be extremely knowledgeable, patient and helpful. The materials provided with the course are very helpful, too.
I am also impressed with the Chicago Training Connection facilities and receptionist staff. Everything/one was very professional and kind. Thank you! I will recommend TC to others. It was well worth it!
