Testimonials

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.

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.

Kristian was a fabulous instructor. His knowledge is endless and he was super helpful and patient for all skill levels! I would definitely like to take more classes.
