Instructor Foster Johnson was incredible – he asked us what we wanted to learn and taught the class that and way more! He gave us all the lesson files and helped us understand almost every aspect of After Effects. I didn't know AE at all before this class, and now I feel super empowered. I want to take another class with him again!

Great class... The instructor was both highly knowledgeable and creative, bringing elements of history, development and practical use together in his approach to teaching After Effects. I only withheld one star due to the limitations of a two-day course. Recommended!

it was really one of the worst experience I have had in a course. First of all the course description implied that the instructor was going to be with us in the classroom, the first day of class I realize it was just an online class. So, I had to commute to Boston, pay a lot of money in parking and other things just to have an online course that could have been taking from work or home without all the stress, I was not the only one complaining about it; two people from other different cities had the same impression. Second of all I had technical issues in two of the 4 days of the course and because of that I felt behind in the class, there wasn't anyone to solve or help with those technical issues, I had to use my own computer and other resources from the college that I work for to finish the training. Finally and most important, the course finished last Friday and they said they would contact me on Monday to talk about all this. Well, guess what? it's Wednesday and they haven't even sent an email. I want to express all the frustration I have because the college paid a lot for this course and I paid a lot of money out of my owned pocket and I don't feel it was worthy. (I hope they get in touch with me)

I have come to appreciate FMC for the professionalism of the instructors and staff and for the vast knowledge and experience that the instructors represent. FMC instructots are always willing to go the extra mile to teach students thepower-user tips and tricks to utilize the applications to their full potential.

Because of the skills learned at FMC my company has been able to expand our service and product capabilities. This past year was one of our most profitable.

The standard of teaching within the school is excellent. Many of the tutors are not only experts in one subject, but masters of many.

Gang... Just a short note to say thanks and share how much I enjoyed last week's session on Photoshop. Nice program, nice facilities and superb instruction.

Another great class at FMC this past week, thanks! Your Photoshop knowledge is amazing, but also your ability to read the manual and convey what you've learned. Doing that in Photoshop AND with your Canon camera are both very powerful. Can't tell you how frustrated I've gotten researching various questions and giving up after a few tries. But your example of perseverance and determination is contagious. You've motivated me.

I feel a good level of confidence in the practical application of the entire Avid system; I am now able to have far better communication and understanding with audio engineers, film-to-video transfer technicians, editors, etc.

As an editor who has been working on a Media 100 for several years, I was very excited to switch to Avid. Having said that, it was easy to pick up the basics in Avid and various shortcuts from other editors, but the knowledge I walked out of your facility with is invaluable

The InDesign course, which was instructed by Leigh Lawhon, taught me everything I need to know and more. The projects that I have completed since taking the class have exceeded expectations and I attribute that sucess solely to the course. My superiors are so excited about what I am now able to accomplish that they are asking for more, and I look forward to another opportunity to train at FMC.

I'm writing to let you know how pleased I was with my experience at FMC Irvine, where I recently participated in a three day training course in Adobe After Effects. I've had the good fortune to attend a variety of FMC training venues including Adobe Video World, NAB Post|Production World, and the FMC's Editor's Retreat, and I'm happy to say that I found my first experience with FMC's 'Connected' learning environment (using live video feeds) to be completely equal to your excellent live on-site training. The quality of your facilities and individual attention, along with the opportunity to learn from and interact with other students across the country in real-time were truly exceptional. The instructor and pacing were both spot on, and I especially enjoyed his use of stories and metaphors to explain and clarify complex concepts, all combined with an easy and helpful manner. I wholeheartedly recommend Future Media Concepts 'Connected' training, and offer my endorsement to anyone interested in the classes you offer.
