I've taken two classes here and a refresher: Google Analytics (twice) and HTML Fundamentals. Both were great, and the instructors are friendly. I love how small the classes are too. Recently I took Kate's class on HTML Fundamentals, and I learned a lot! Kate was very friendly and provided the right amount of encouragement and offered help when needed. Kate was also very efficient while also being thorough which allowed her the time to answer many of the classes questions. I would attend another of Kate's classes. Scheduling is the only reason I am giving this review four stars and not five. I've had all three classes I've taken rescheduled at some point. The reason I take these classes is to help me with current projects and tasks at my existing job, so when the classes are rescheduled it just delays my work. read more

This was probably the best experience I had in a long time in a class room setting. It was only me and another girl Kendra in the class. The class isn't beginner course so but Barbra was helpful. I get bad anxiety learning new things and I talk to Barbra before my classmate made it in. She sat with me and help and in courage me. I felt much better and confident. The course was in design. read more

Loved the Tableau Fundamentals class with Roger. He was great! I love AcademyX because I can re-take the course for FREE within next 6 months. read more

I just finished a 1-week night class (6pm-9pm) for SQL Fundamentals. The class was small, but that just means we had a lot of interactive conversations as we went through the material. Michelle was great in getting everyone involved in the exercises! I really liked how the class covered many things you are going to encounter in the 'real-world' instead of just dryly mimicking the information out of the book. Also, putting it into a perspective of 'how do I accomplish this in my job?' was *very* informative. I enjoyed the interactive atmosphere of the class, and Michelle did an excellent job of making sure everyone got something out of it. Thanks Academy X! I look forward to taking future classes. read more

Allyson combines a great sense of humor with a low-key approach that makes learning fun! I enjoyed taking Intro to Excel with her and would love taking additional classes taught by her. I had Tom for a private tutor and he was very detailed and patient, giving down to earth examples that made content accessible and reinforced what I had learned in the Intro class. He explained topics in a variety of ways including different ways to approach creating a formula or performing an equivalent function. Great job as well! I really liked both teachers and highly recommend this Academy. read more

Scott, was a great instructor. I appreciated AcademyX accommodating our company to have a personal class on a Saturday. We were able to learn alot and learn what we would use most. Plus, the office was clean, had a Keurig coffee maker and a fridge for my lunch. The little minion USB was a nice take away too! read more

I took the Excel Intermediate class with Debby Brown and I highly recommend the class and the instructor. Debby even stayed after class to help me with a work-related Excel issue that did not relate to the class material and she was able to show me some shortcuts that's I've implemented for Excel reports at my job. Within the first 20 minutes of class I learned some quick and easy tips that I had no idea even existed and decided the class was well worth it right away. I'm planning on taking their Excel LookUps, Functions and macros class soon. read more

I took the Power Point Class (Into,Intermediate and Advanced) at AcademyX in San Jose. My instructor was Debby Brown and Rebekah 3witt. Both were amazing teachers. Having no knowledge at all about this, they were very patient and made me feel very comfortable. They were extremely knowledgeable and pleasant and as a result i learned alot! I will defiantly come back for more classes in the future. Thanks Ladies! :) read more

Unfortunately, my job doesn't require me to know how to use Microsoft Excel. Most jobs these days want the candidates to have that experiences with this program. I took a introduce Microsoft Excel course here and it was definitely worth taking. It was a lot easier to use then I thought it would be. Susan H. was a wonderful instructor. Her instructions was easy to understand and watching her do it on the 2nd screen definitely helped out a lot, especially if your a visual learner. Overall I would definitely come back to take another course here again in the future. read more

Susan is a great instructor. Knowledgeable, charming, friendly, and very easy to relate to. She made learning fun. She made sure everyone was up to speed on each issue if if someone was stuck, she backed up to make sure everyone understood what was going on. read more

I recently took the "Access Fundamentals" class with instructor Casey R. I will say that coming to the class with no knowledge of how to use Access, I left there after the second day feeling like I know the basics which was great. There were of course a couple things I didn't like. My co-worker and I both attended the class. The instructor said everyone needed to put their phones in airplane mode during the class. I did not do so because I am a parent and need to be reachable in case an emergency happens regarding my children. I was happy to put my phone on silent however. It became apparent that anything aside from airplane mode was unacceptable because Casey began watching me like a hawk and if my hand moved anywhere near my phone she re-announced that all phones should be on airplane mode. This became very annoying as it was not like I or anyone else was browsing the internet, social media, making calls, etc. but she was clearly tiffed about it enough to be distracted in any attempt to catch me touching my phone. Remember, I'm an adult... I'm 37 years old and know how to act professionally in a class my company paid $500 for me to take..... At the very beginning of class she explained that everyone should ask questions as they arise so that nobody is left behind. That seemed like a great idea, except when some other student said she had a question, Casey told her to ask later in order to not "throw her train off the tracks." My co-worker did not look up at Casey as she began explaining something on the white board quick enough so she made another general announcement that everyone needed to be looking only at her while staring at my co-worker. It was very much how someone talks to children, not grown business men and women. I don't like being spoken to like I'm a child. I don't like instructors who seem to quietly have a fit if you don't comply to what I consider an unreasonable requirement (all phones being in airplane mode). I DID learn from her, but her neurotic behavior regarding some of her rules made the class not fun. I advised my boss about how Casey acted towards my co-worker and I, knowing very well my boss and another co-worker would be taking a different class at the same location the next day. I was surprised to hear that Casey actually casually complained to the class about "a student the prior day who wouldn't turn off her phone" before she knew my boss and co-worker were in that class, which was very tacky and unprofessional. I am rating this experience 3/5 because I DID learn what I needed to learn. Perhaps Casey R. was just having a bad day or something... I don't know. ‍ read more

I took SQL class with Tom. I have zero knowledge about the course, but Tom is patient and helpful. He answered all my questions, and I look forward to learning on more courses here. read more

Andreas was awesome during my Google Ads class. He was super easy to talk to, and was also gave us real life examples of how to use Google Ads. Though I wish the class was a little bit more detailed, the class gave me a good introduction on GA. read more

I took the Advanced PowerPoint course on 8/25/16. Allyson McNeil was an outstanding instructor. She took us through the material in a way that was both logical and entertaining. I learned things about PowerPoint that I never knew existed thanks to Allyson. The classroom set-up was non-traditional, but very effective. Each student has their own computer set-up, as well as their own monitor to view what the instructor is doing. This is much better than having to constantly look up at a different screen. Highly recommended! read more

I took Crystal Report 2013 with Casey for two days and it was awesome! She was patient and helpful. The class was a fundamentals class so we were in the fist phases of what Crystal Reports is. I really enjoyed the class and they even provide a book to take notes and keep. At the end of the class you get to keep your work as well if you bring a flash drive or download it to dropbox or something like that. I recommend this class if you are new to Crystal Reports and just starting out. read more

Loved my 2-day Access Intermediate Training! Class was super small so, as others have stated, this made the interactions very personal and each student was able to get help with job-specific scenarios. Tom B. was super chill, good sense of humor and didn't just read directly from the book. He had legacy knowledge from Access of yore which helped when the manual was missing a step here or there. Will definitely be back for the Advanced class. PS Pack and enjoy your lunch in the open and relaxed TechMart lobby/ atrium; otherwise, food options are: $$$ hotel food next door, ToGo's nearby (but very busy), and Byte Foods vending frig (cool; Google it) in the TechMart lobby. Finally, there is a bike/walking path (access directly behind the parking structure). read more

The class was very interactive with it's students and Michelle was very attentive to the needs of her students. I learned a lot and the exercises were very helpful in the learning processes. I recommend anyone wanting to learn excel take this course. It was worth it!!! read more

Loved it! Took Photoshop Fundamentals course; was a great overview and made me feel way more comfortable using the software (although there is still so much to learn!) Ken D was a great instructor, very thorough but was able to touch on most basic training. Was willing to discuss any topic the class asked (which was only 5 of us so nice to have more one-on-one training), showed multiple ways of accomplishing a task in Photoshop, and cool tips and tricks. I will say, by the end of the second day my eyes were a little crossed and hard to fully check out from work for two full days, but overall would recommend! read more

I took the intermediate Excel course. He was an excellent instructor and moved the class along well. I like how he answered all of our questions and kept checking in. I learned so much and because the class size was small we had some good interaction that aided in the learning process. read more

Will take more classes with AcademyX! read more

Illustrator Fundamental training was great. Lots of hands on learning, not just reading from a book. Small class size adds to the hands on learning and personal instruction. Karly was an awesome instructor. I am definitely going back for InDesign training in 2 weeks with her. read more

AcademyX provides a simple way to host training classes. I took beginner Adobe Indesign training and had a positive learning experience. Much of what I learned, I will use day 1. AcademyX is also very affordable. The cost has allowed me to take both the beginner and advanced course for the same price as just a beginner course with fluffy competitors. AcademyX facility is very simple with no frills. Wish there were lunch places nearby, but that is a very minor inconvenience. Thanks AcademyX! read more

Learned a lot from Ted H.! Inside shortcuts and personal experience was very helpful to navigate productively through Outlook. He was both positive and humorous! His consistent pace with our small group kept us engaged to the end! read more

This is the best computer training class I've ever taken - Small group classes, personal attention and very affordable. I am a computer science graduate and I've taken many expensive classes over the years that I didn't get as much out of as I got from the class I've taken lately with AcademyX. Very easy to fall in love with this school and keep coming... read more
