Reviews for Design Classes in NYC

Design Classes in NYC are rated 4.5 stars based on 2,818 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • Laura is extremely patient and detailed, and was super helpful in really having me understand how to navigate After Effects as a beginner. Highly recommend!
  • I've been a Product Designer for 5 years, but I've never deep-dived technically into Figma. This class was amazing for me to remember the basics. It's super recommended for beginners and UX designers who feel the need to enhance their Figma abilities.
  • Working with both Course Horse and Mew Productions both were seamless in communicating prior to the course. It was great in the end to have a one on one virtual course vs in person, and nice to be given the option. I was able to re-acclimate to the program. As an experienced audio producer the instructor was attentive to covering the lessons set up, while also pivoting to specifically hone in on areas that I specifically needed to center on with regard to my current client's projects and work flow. Mewshop was excellent as was Course Horse. Thanks
  • So far, all of my CH class have been great. Thanks!
  • Class was great! Our instructor was an expert and very patient. Great course for all levels.
  • Great intro class! Instructor was incredibly helpful and tailored class to what I wanted to learn
  • This was exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. I look forward to more targeted sessions!
  • I recently had the opportunity to take a private Adobe Illustrator class, and it was an incredibly beneficial experience. The personalized nature of the session allowed me to focus on developing fundamental skills at my own pace. Under the guidance of a skilled instructor, I delved into the basic tools and functionalities of Adobe Illustrator, which was particularly helpful as a beginner. The instructor's clear explanations and thorough coverage of essential tools provided a solid foundation for me to build upon. By the end of the session, I felt more confident navigating the software and creating simple illustrations. Overall, the private class served as an effective starting point for my journey into the world of digital design.
  • The course really introduces a lot of concepts in an organized way so that by the end of class you are very comfortable with navigating in After Effects and applying effects, and keyframe animations.
  • Very thorough class, excellent instructor.
  • Thanks for the session!
  • As a complete beginner to interior design, I found this class to be extremely educational. It provided a fantastic foundation in color theory, space planning and basic design principles. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to start their journey in interior design.
  • Chad is an excellent instructor. He gives very clear explanations of Premiere Pro
  • Outstanding class. I've taken multiple classes here and they are all very informative yet presented in a way that is easy to absord. Ian is a wonderful teacher who always goes at a steady pace and takes time to answer any questions. He even helped me figure out how to do a personal project in in Grasshopper. Highly recommend for anyone interested in learning/advancing or brushing up on Grasshopper or Rhino.
  • NYC: Figma Corporate Training

    I highly recommend this class for any one you wants to jump right in and get a better understanding of how the entire program works.
  • NYC: Figma Corporate Training

    100% would recommend.
  • NYC: Figma Corporate Training

    If you're looking to get a deep dive into Figma, this is the place to learn it from. Engaging instructor with beautiful contents to follow along with (and keep after class).
  • This was an awesome class, great for understanding the software and experimenting with design, and it's not too difficult to follow even though I'm a beginner.
  • I loved taking this class! It was the perfect amount of fun and challenge and helped me dive deeper into my interest in graphic design. The instructor was patient, kind, and supportive. I appreciated the help and feedback she gave to take my designing to the next level. I had so much fun and learned a lot. 10/10 would recommend :)
  • Amazing instructor, energetic and knowledgeable. The lectures were always interesting and the instructor made it understandable for everyone.
  • I learnt a lot and where I knew nothing before, I can now fluently use the Adobe tools.
  • The instructor provided more information than what was listed in the textbook and created a friendly atmosphere that made us feel at ease to ask questions.
  • I find it really convenient that there is an ebook because if you miss something or want something to look back on, you can always refer to the lesson plan. I also like how the class content relates it back to purpose: why does this matter? How can you apply this to everyday life? How can you use this concept in other programs?
  • The instructor was very helpful and supportive during these last few weeks. He always had every answer to my questions and seemed very passionate about his job. This made it easier and way more fun to learn web design.
  • NYC: Figma Corporate Training

    My instructor Eugenio was very approachable in answering any questions I had on the material, workbook exercises, or industry changes. I currently work in healthcare with patients and do not have any design experience, so I appreciate Noble Desktop allows us to take courses in person, access recordings for practice/review, and retake the class! Thank you!
  • NYC: Figma Corporate Training

    You know at the end of Ratatouille where Anton Ego takes one bite of Ratatouille and in that moment, every single thing he'd experienced in life was inside of the one bite? That's how I felt ending this course. I feel like I've been using Sketch, InVision, and Abstract for soooooo long, and using Figma was a little bite of ratatouille that reminded me how design software can & should be just as user-friendly as the designs that we're creating for clients.
  • The teacher was fantastic. He gave thorough, succinct descriptions of the commands within the AutoCAD software, interspersed with folksy bromides and the anecdotes of an entertaining life. Enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thanks!
  • Great class and teacher. My daughters and I really loved the class.
  • Ms. Chloe, is everything! The course was so much fun, memorable, easy instruction from the instructor! It was a pleasure meeting others and hearing their experiences of coming back for other workshops. I definitely left with a cute completed project and felt watch out Victoria Secrets for The Sewing Center.
  • Loved it. Very informative. Laura was great.
  • Very comprehensive. Instructor was patient with those new to the subject matter. Very understanding and thorough.
  • Great fun, great, patient, lovely instructor!
  • Everything was excellent.
  • Laura was very thorough and made sure we understood concepts before moving forward. I will take what I've learned into the workplace with me!
  • No improvement needed! All perfect!
  • Laura (InDesign Training) was an amazing instructor. Good speed, very resourceful and happy to answer all questions.
  • Laura was flexible, patient, knowledgeable and clear. What more could you ask?
  • This course was fantastic and Laura was an excellent instructor! I came in without any previous experience with Adobe InDesign, and now feel like I have a well-rounded understanding of how the program works and the tools I need to continue learning how to use it.
  • Joe is an amazing instructor, I went into the class with great concern that my lack of computer skills would make the class difficult. Joe was easy to follow and made the class interesting and fun, the 7 hour class flew by. I definitely recommend the class for first timers or those just trying to polish up on their skills.
  • It was great and I'd love to keep meeting with Laura.
  • Laura was amazing! Super patient and informative. It was great to get a grip on best practices and workflow. Now the program feels much more familiar. Really excited to get in there and keep learning! I highly recommend this class and can definitely confirm that Plexus Creative will make the most of your time.
  • The instructor, Laura, was very thorough. I was able to understand and follow very easily. Loved the small class size that allowed for questions and easy follow through.
  • Joe was an outstanding teacher! Very engaging, incredibly experienced & the energy of the class was very positive. He has some funny stories that he will share throughout the class as well. I would highly recommend this class for anyone wanting to begin their AutoCad education. Hoping to come back for level 2 or to attend remotely soon.
  • It was very informative. Thank you.
  • Laura was fantastic, very clear, and patient, and was able to fit a lot of content in a short period of time. I had a lot of specific questions and maybe a 1-on-1 class would have been better, but this was only two students so it was still very personalized.
  • Laura was fantastic. She had a ton of content to cover. Even though I was completely new to Adobe Premiere Pro, I felt like I could keep up and nothing was over my head. I feel much more confident about this platform and am very excited to create my first video.
  • The instruction was very clear and well organized. And Laura made Photoshop really fun, and tailored to my interests, which is great! I highly recommend her!
  • Adobe InDesign Bootcamp

    Instructor was really great! She was very detailed and really made this class enjoyable
  • Enjoyed the class and learned new helpful tips I look forward to using. Instructor was quite knowledgeable and patient!
  • I like that I was able to do the exercises after Laura walked through them and, I appreciate pausing here and there to let me take notes as we went along.
