I already know how to draw and present my ideas using design; analog (by hand), as well as digitally. I am fully trained in using most of the design related softwares. I have done technical drawings by hand and by computer. I thought that I KNEW IT ALL! Well, until I came to Concept Cube. ;) I saw the word "portfolio" and thought it wouldn't do any harm to learn a trick or two. However, after meeting with Tony and learning exactly what they offered, I changed my mind. He showed me the pieces that were missing from my art work. He asked me questions that I could not answer, and promised me that at the end of the course I would be a different designer with fresh new eyes. He absolutely delivered! In the last 3 months Tony wiped away my prior training and gave me new solid design fundamentals in a brilliant way! His teaching method and the way he ties everything together is amazing! He has a unique style and will share his secrets with you. He will also make sure that you understand the lessons. I re-learned how to draw and how to present my ideas. I have been converted!

When I was enrolled, it was implied that a good art portfolio is key to a good University application. However, it is hard to get anywhere with art without passion. Second, the environment isn't good. Students are expected to draw in a room without even windows. There is a passionless attitude among students because of how this place takes advantage of Chinese parent's dreams of sending their kids to ivy universities. Also, this place did not do much to help any of their students enroll in local art competitions while I was there. If you happen to think about enrolling your kid since they are in fact passionate about art, there is a lot better places that would better support their passion in a fun and lively manner. This place is more of a daycare with art supplies.

I am a international student of UC Davis and a former student of Poly for both campus of LA and…read morePasadena. I am writing my review here because I see some negative reviews of this institute, and those reviews are not true. The negative reviews even do not explain why the school is bad. I am telling you here why Poly is a great place to "start" learning English. I know a lot of students have passion for fluent English skills, but there are always "steps". It is true that Poly do not teach "a college level English skills". However, it is also true that "you do not need a college level English skills" before you transfer to a college because the college wants you to learn the advance skills in their education system. Poly is just helping students to "prepare" the college level English. So, be patient and don't get freaked out. To describe the atmosphere of the Pasadena campus, I have to mention about this: the school has extremely friendly staffs, Max and Nataly. They always make a smile on their face, and love to joke with their student. They continuously put their efforts on improving supports on their student. As a result, I see they have recently built a spacious student lounge which did not exist in 2011. In addition, Poly provides a TOEFL class, which is for the students who seek for an advance level class. Lastly, make your sentence simple and clear when you have a question to your teacher. The teacher won't "ignore" you. The instructor just cannot fully "understand" your questions. If you make your sentence clear enough, the teacher will answer you. You also should show your respect on your teacher as a student. Because I attended Poly, I was able to transfer to a college, and was able to make more friends in this country. I personally appreciate to Poly for those my personal achievements. Poly may not a place to satisfy your expectation 100%, but is the right place to "start" your English journey.

Drastically improved my skills - worth every penny! Last month I took the Adobe Premiere Pro Bootcamp with Kristian Gabriel - AMAZING CLASS! Highly recommend if you're doing any work in Premiere Pro - and Kristian even touches a little on Photoshop, After Effects & Illustrator too. The bootcamp definitely kicked my video editing skills up several notches! I wish I had taken the class much sooner haha! That being said, I'm glad I had already worked with Premiere Pro bc the bootcamp made a lot more sense. The software can be complicated, especially if you're just starting out, and the bootcamp moves fast...so it can be hard to keep up. BUT Training Connection gives you one free repeat!! You can come back and take the same class again once more - how awesome is that?? Kristian is an absolutely FANTASTIC teacher!! He's professional, passionate, extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and caring - his expertise is impressive! He knows Adobe inside and out. I would happily take any of his classes again and definitely plan to take the After Effects and Illustrator classes in the future. The building is great also - the suite is sleek and always clean. They have high tech equipment in the classrooms - all their computers are fast Apples. Even the break room has a very fancy coffee machine offering all sorts of lattes and such. And all the rooms have lovely views of DTLA. Very nice facility. The prices for their classes are extremely reasonable considering the value of the lectures and the fact that they let you do one free retake. There are tons of eateries and cafes and food courts nearby so lunch is fun everyday! You can park in their underground lot but it's expensive at $35 a day. However, there's lots of security and it felt very safe, clean and convenient. I took the metro gold line the first two days and actually got urinated on by a vagrant the second morning - so I didn't hesitate to pay for parking after that lol. There's a cheaper lot around the corner but no security so be aware.
