Creators Academy Reviews 17

The whole sign-up and onboarding process with Creators Academy has been really smooth from start to finish. Aidan was great throughout — he kept in regular contact, made sure everything was set up properly, and was always on hand if we needed anything.

We also had an introductory webinar before getting access to the portal, which was really helpful in showing us where everything is and how to navigate it. That, combined with how intuitive the platform is, made it easy to get started straight away. There are masterclasses and on-demand courses available from the off, along with useful downloadable assets to support you early on.

Overall, first-class service so far. Aidan has been approachable, easy to speak to, and really supportive throughout. Would highly recommend.

Creators Academy - Adobe Bootcamp

I enrolled as a novice on the Adobe Bootcamp in order to enhance my knowledge and improve my use of the Adobe suite, having attended numerous photography events and courses in the past few years. I certainly wasn't disappointed.

The course was very well organised and structured, and ideal for my learning pace. It was also delivered in a personable and professional manner by Paul Sanderson who was able to guide, direct and offer first hand experiences of the products. What's more I managed to pass!!

I would highly recommend attending a Bootcamp run by Creators Academy and I look forward to attending future courses.

I did an Adobe After Effects course with Creators Academy in October, finishing with my exam in December, and it was such a good experience! I was nervous to go into it as my experience with Adobe was limited, and while the others in my class did have a lot more experience, my course tutor Paul was fantastic and was always on hand to help with any questions and support. The classroom days were really well structured and the online learning afterwards was engaging. It was the first time I'd sat an exam in years and it was a much calmer experience than I expected and I passed the course with great support for Paul and Barry. Thanks to everyone at Creators Academy, it was a great experience and I hope I can be back for another course in the future!

I took part in the Adobe After Effects course the Creators Academy have to offer. This really helped develop my understanding of the software and taught me many new techniques i never would’ve known without the course. It has also allowed me to expand the services i can offer to clients. The tutor Paul was great! Very clear and efficient in his teaching, i would recommend Creators Academy to anyone interested in learning Adobe softwares!

It was a great experience. I learnt about a software that looked dreary to me in a very easy way. I also had the chance to meet people in my network and sharing tips and opportunities to optimise my business!

Really enjoyed it!

What an amazing course and absolutely free. I cannot recommend Creators Academy enough. I didn't know I didn't know as much. My tutor, Paul was fantastic, his delivery was professional but at the appropriate level for me and my course colleagues. He gave some great tips and guidance both for the syllabus but additional ideas that was helpful in the real world too. I thought I was proficient in using photoshop, but my skill levels have increased dramatically due to the course and Paul's tuition.
Thanks you to all involved, especially Paual.

I have been to Creators Academy and before that I have attended many professional training centers and online courses during my professional life.

I must say that the training method, support, one to one discussions, group work and a relaxed class room environment is one of the best learning method I have ever experienced.

The trainer Paul was very knowledgeable and was helpful. We could ask as many questions and can get hands on support. This coupled up with great course and help over slack and email throughout made the experience easy.

The guys at Creators Academy were amazing; so helpful and patient with all my questions, as a complete beginner they explained everything very well and always had time to provide extra support when studying for the exam. The course was great, I learnt so much about using Premier Pro and have now gone on to use this to gain more freelance work. I would definitely recommend Creators Academy to anyone wanting to upskill in the creative space.

What an amazing opportunity. I cannot recommend Creators Academy enough - the entire experience was first class. Paul the tutor was fantastic and always on hand to help out with smart tips and guidance. My skill levels and understanding of Photoshop went to a completely different level. Thanks guys!

I recently completed an Adobe Photoshop training course with Creators Academy and, despite already feeling confident with the software, I found it incredibly worthwhile. The sessions helped me refine and streamline many of the processes I use daily in my work as a fashion designer, making my workflow noticeably more efficient.
My trainer, Paul, was exceptionally knowledgeable and answered every question with clarity and patience. I was genuinely surprised by how much I was able to learn and immediately apply to my practice.
Being able to add my new Adobe Certified Professional status to my website is an added bonus—it gives both current and future clients extra reassurance in the quality and credibility of my skills.

A game-changer for my photography business
I came to Creators Academy's Photoshop Masterclass already working professionally as a photographer in the North East, but honestly there were gaps in my post-processing workflow I'd been papering over for years. From the first session, the team made me feel completely at ease — knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in your progress rather than just pushing you through a checklist.
The course itself is brilliantly structured. Whether you're a complete beginner or someone like me who thought they already knew Photoshop, there's real depth here. I came away with techniques that have directly improved the quality of my client deliverables — from headshot retouching to compositing and colour grading — and the confidence to tackle edits I'd previously been outsourcing or avoiding altogether.
The value it's added to my ongoing workflow has been enormous. I run a photography agency and the skills I gained have saved me time, lifted the standard of my output, and honestly made me enjoy the editing process far more than I used to.
If you're a creative professional thinking about upskilling — don't hesitate. The team at Creators Academy are the real deal.

Fantastic, friendly, Knowledgeable staff! Brilliant all round educational experience. Can’t recommend them highly enough! If you’re looking to become an Adobe certified professional or elevate your creative side this is the company to see!

I thoroughly enjoyed the Adobe Premiere Pro bootcamp at the Creator’s Academy. Dan and Paul were both fantastic, offering expert knowledge and supportive tutoring. I learned a few handy new tricks and bolstered my existing knowledge. I was so close to a perfect score on the certification exam and it was all thanks to their help. I can now say that I am Adobe Professional in Premiere Pro and look forward to the opportunities that will create.

Superb training! I took the Adobe Certified Professionals course which was tutored by Paul Sanderson. The whole course was impeccably organised & Paul has the experience & patience to deliver it perfectly. The group had a wide range of abilities at the start which always makes training difficult but Paul took it all in his stride. Nothing was too much trouble. The facilities were excellent too & all the staff we met were friendly and professional. Superb!

I was part of the Cuts and Chords programme focussed around local musicians, and this course has by far been one of the best opportunities for career development that I’ve had!

Going from absolute beginner to qualified professional in Premiere Pro, meeting other musicians in the same position as me, working with them, and having the opportunity to network with people I otherwise wouldn’t have met.

Even since the course, the opportunities I was given have led to even bigger things, and I can’t thank Creators Academy enough.

I had a great time taking part in the Creator's Academy Adobe Premiere Pro bootcamp. The team were fantastic, with expert knowledge and supportive tutoring. I learned so much and was delighted to finish the course as an Adobe Professional in Premiere Pro.

I did a Creators Academy Bootcamp in Jan/Feb 2026, in Adobe Premiere Pro. I was absolutely delighted with the training provided both in person and remotely, as well as the professionalism and the knowledge of my tutors. The sign up process was straightforward and the facilities were second to none, with encouragement and support throughout. On our exam day, the entire group passed, which I was personally not expecting within myself so I was elated at the recognition and award. I will use this certification and my experiences as a stepping stone going forward and couldn’t have done it without the support of such a wonderful organisation.
