Topics include:
"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"Once again, McKinley Marshall was an excellent teacher for the AE Boot Camp class. I had the privilege of taking her Premiere Pro Boot Camp class as well. McKinley is very informative, friendly, and funny. I would take another class with her in heartbeat. She takes time out to make each student feel confident when taking her class. The staff is very friendly and the facility is top-notch. I would highly recommend Training Connection to anyone."
Antwan Johnson | Storm King Productions"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"I loooooved this course and everything McKinley taught us. I didn't know what to expect, but I'm so impressed by the ground we were able to cover in such a short amount of time. I would highly recommend this course and would be super interested in taking any other class she teaches that might match my interest."
Sierra Lisa | Leafly"I've taken this course before and decided to take the refresher course before my 6 month period was over and am very glad I did. It allowed me to revisit concepts that I hadn't thought about since first learning them some months ago and think progressively as of how to apply them for future projects versus the regular tools/techniques I found myself falling into. McKinley is an incredible instructor and very thorough in going through the material that the book leaves out. "

Signing up for an Online Adobe After Effects Class is a fairly easy decision, but is it the right decision for you vs say a Classroom Based After Effects Course (see here). There are some clear advantages like the immense amount of flexibility it can give you, allowing you to learn in your own time (within reason). However, it’s important to remember that to get the most out of the class you will need to be very disciplined with your time and resources and be able to work productively and effectively on your own from your desk or work station. Whether you're a busy professional or a student with a stretched budget (or basically broke like we all were), this type of learning could be perfect for your lifestyle and the stage you are at in your life. With Online After Effects Tuition at Training Connection, you don’t need to worry, you’ll still receive a wealth of resources, including video tutorials, interactive assignments and of course, access to our fully vetted expert instructors... even if you choose After Effects e-learning over Classroom Based Adobe After Effects Learning.
When choosing the best Online After Effects Class for you, think about the following:
Course Content: Make sure the online curriculum matches your current skill level as well as your learning goals. Whether you're a beginner looking for foundational knowledge or an experienced user aiming to master advanced techniques, the course should cater for your specific needs. If you are unsure, feel free to call us or email us at Training Connection and we can easily advise you.
Instructor Expertise: Look for courses taught by professionals with plenty of industry experience. Instructors who have real-world experience and who can answer your many questions is what you really want. Free YouTube videos have their place but without access to an expert who can provide valuable insights and practical tips and who can answer questions, these routes can be very frustrating and underwhelming.
Student Reviews: Ahh, the big one. Make sure you read all the testimonials and reviews of the online course you want to do from past students so you can see what other attendees in your shoes thought of the course. Positive feedback is obviously a great indictor but also look at how the company handled constructive criticism and whether they actioned changes and improvements.
Support Resources: Next, check if the course offers easy access to training manuals, to forums, to Q&A sessions, as well as to direct instructor support. Does the course cover a Motion Graphics Online Course and Visual Effects Training Online? Ours do. Having a support system in place can help you tremendously when you encounter challenges and well… it just adds to your overall learning experience (and we all want a positive, memorable experience when we learn something new and exciting).
After Effects Certification Online: Make sure the course provides a recognized certificate upon completion. A certificate is a must so you can prove that you have the training to back up your newly acquired skills – it’s a valuable addition to your professional portfolio.
At Training Connection, we offer live, Instructor-led Online After Effects Classes designed to be interactive and totally engaging – we feature small class sizes, ensuring personalized attention, and we also include a free repeat option valid for six months, allowing you to safely book knowing you'll be able to do the course again to help retain all the information. Plus we also offer a money-back guarantee and a certificate of course completion!
What if I just do a FREE Online After Effects Course?
While free online After Effects classes for beginners are easy to find, thanks in large part to Google’s second largest search engine, YouTube, they do come with limitations in how broad they are, how much they are lacking in in-depth content and most, if not all, have no practical problem solving element, instead they rely on 'comments' that have zero engagement after a short period of time. Without access to correct up to date information from live instructors, most people will end up signing up with a Training Centre anyway, having wasted a fair amount of time in the process. These 'free' courses are easy to spot as most won’t provide you with a nuanced understanding of the subject matter. Most are also there to function as marketing tools (why else would they offer it for ‘free’ – as amazing as that would be, humans simply don’t work like this – apologies for the cynicism). They are there to entice learners with introductory material while at the same time trying to upsell premium content or services – something called or at best akin to ‘clickbait’, where the goal is to collect your personal or company information solely for promotional purposes rather than to deliver a proper education. It’s always better to pay a little and gain a lot.
