one-to-one training

How the training works?

1

Tell me what you need

Start with a conversation about your current skills, your goals and what you're hoping to achieve.

2

We'll build your session

I'll recommend the software, topics and approach that best fits your requirements.

3

Learn by doing

Work through practical exercises, real projects and workflows rather than simply watching someone demonstrate them.

4

Leave with useful skills

The aim isn't simply to finish a course. It's to leave knowing how to apply what you've learned to your own work.

100% focused on you

No waiting for the rest of a class. Spend your time on the skills, tools and workflows that matter to you.

Learn at your pace

Move quickly through what you already understand and slow down when you need more time or explanation.

Use your own projects

Wherever possible, learn through real work rather than generic classroom exercises.

Ask anything

There are no silly questions and no pressure to keep up with anyone else.

Testimonials

Shannon McGarrity

Celtic Football Club Marketing and Communications Officer

Wow! I have just completed an induction of After Effects with Simon as tutor. I highly recommend Simon, his skill and knowledge went beyond imagination and I will be sure to stay in touch and complete courses under his tuition in the near future. Thank you so much!

Marie Gordon

University for the Creative Arts Philanthropy Communications Manager

I spent two days with Simon learning the basics of Adobe After Effects. The sessions were relaxed but informative, working through a few 'projects' while learning where everything was and how to do different techniques. Being able to ask questions and troubleshoot with a real person was much better for me than trying to learn from online videos. Friendly chat and a sense of humour made the sessions enjoyable too.

Juan Martos Diaz

Media Production Officer at The University of Edinburgh

Simon is an excellent AE trainer: patient, approachable, thorough and fun to work with. Highly recommended if you are looking to loose the fear of dabbling in After Effects and deepen your knowledge on Creative Cloud workflows. As a video producer and experienced Premiere Pro user, I appreciated Simon's ability to draw parallels between the two programs to explain key concepts. The course with XChange Training was easy to follow and steadily increasing in complexity, but always manageable. At the end of the week-long course I went from beginner to Adobe Certified Professional. Very grateful to all!

An amazing trainer, complete contrast to the introduction lessons I had, gained a whole lot of relevant experience from what you showed me, would even like to pursue this and start working with this full time it’s a great package to work with!

Aaron Balitsky

Being taught by Simon was a genuinely great experience. His down-to-earth, approachable style made it easy to ask questions and follow along. The course boosted my confidence, improved my workflow, and helped me fall in love with After Effects all over again. Simon’s extensive industry experience is very visible in his teaching, giving practical insight that you can apply right away. Highly highly recommend !!

We've used Simon for training a number of times over the years, most recently for getting a number of us up to speed on Figma. He keeps things clear, simple and breaks things down in a way that's easy to understand and enjoyable to do. I'd thoroughly recommend him.
