The best course to start with Adobe After Effects
Gareth is a fantastic instructor. He has a meticulously planned workflow, creates all the course content himself, and pays close attention to each tiny detail on the program interface. I appreciate his hard work in sharing knowledge and recommend his other courses!

I would recommend this course to anyone
I had trouble opening the files from the AE Course project folder I had to delete then download again. It is now working fine I have completed 17 lessons and find it very helpful and easy to follow. I would recommend this course to anyone

Amazing journey 😎
I used to see After Effects as a very complex program, but the way it got demystified really surprised me, I kept smiling at numerous “eureka” moments Lol.
I am a Designer and I use Photoshop and Figma, and this course has made me appreciate design a lot more!
Thank you Gareth 👍

Very informative & good experience.
It was a very good experience as I was a beginner in after effects, although I've used and have good knowledge of other Adobe softwares like premiere pro, illustrator & photoshop. So I would say the video classes were pretty neat and decent in knowledge and I learned alot of decent tips & tricks.

Astoundingly detailed work!
It’s evident David put a lot of time and expertise of his knowledge into his logo design course and I couldn’t have imagined a more detailed and well thought out course. Thank you so much for providing this!!!

I really had a hard time to find a course that will take my hand and step by step teaching me how AE works. Gareth really took the time to repeat the the lessons in order for me to understand them. One of the best tutorials. It's like a coloring book for adults in Editing!
