A Few Testimonials


"Coming from a position of absolutely no web experience at all, I feel quite confident that I can go away after these 3 days and create the website almost exactly how I would like it to be. Alex was brilliant!!"

Lee, Twyford C of E High School.

"3 days was just the right amount of time - good to have the opportunity to practice and ask questions. More of an HTML/CSS course rather than a Dreamweaver course - but for me that's more beneficial."

Alison, Tectura UK.

"Thankyou for making a frightening prospect easier and understandable."

David, Jog Limited.

Elstree Film Studios - Flash Animation & Design - Scheduled Courses









"Good length of time, liked the size of classes and plenty of opportunities to ask questions and try out examples. " Mothercare Uk Limited.

Macromedia Flash is a piece of software that actually lives up to its name: the software is a designers dream and it can be used for a variety of creative purposes from web design to complicated animation techniques. If you have ever seen a quirky animation online, it is most likely that it was created in Flash.

Like the other courses that we offer, Flash is an essential piece in the puzzle to your design toolkit. During our animation & design course you will become familiar with the software and produce a series of "creative's" i.e. web banner animations, logo's and so forth to compliment your own projects.

Our experience of both using and teaching Flash is extensive and by enrolling on this course you are making a bold step into the world of producing first class media work.

"Great couple of days. Alex is a great tutor with extensive knowledge. I felt I achieved a firm grasp of the topic under good guidance! Very impressed." Norwich City Football Club.

Duration: 2 days.

Location: 21st Century New Media (Production Offices), Elstree Film Studios, Shenley Road, Borehamwood, Hertfordshire WD6 1JG. [MAP]

Prerequisites: This course is for beginners: designers and developers new to Flash who want to learn the interface and commonly used features. To gain the most from this class, students should be familiar with Windows and with the web and its terminology.

Why Take This Course?

Macromedia Flash is a complete course that provides designers and developers new to the Flash environment the knowledge and hands-on experience they need to create rich Flash content.

In addition to teaching the essentials, the course focuses on teaching best practices for creating Flash content.
