The After Effects ESSENTIAL course has been designed for individuals with no to very little experience with the software.

After Effects is a crucial industry standard software which is often too complicated to learn for new users. The purpose of this course is to provide an easy to understand training which simplifies the learning curve for this software.

If you believe this course is not suitable for you, please get in touch to discuss a private training solution.

No knowledge of After Effects or any design software is required. Students are only required to have basic computing skills.
