Software Academy Anmeldelser 

The tutoring is honestly great my child had a taster session with Sachin Ganapathula and said it was great. He learned about making a game where a projectile hits a wall and creates an explosion effect and he learnt how to do that in just 1 taster lesson! He was also very kind.

It was a vero good lesson and The teacher (Damon Mackins) was very nice.

My son very much enjoyed his lesson trial with Shane who’s a fantastic coding teacher. I’m signing up!

Great session, Brandon made my child feel welcome and relaxed. The activities were adapted to her level and they were interesting and fun. She enjoyed her session very much.

Excellent experience

Knowledge was transferred within short period and the patient from the interviewer is a top-notch

Very articulate, and down to yhe level of a 10yrs old girl. Thank yoi

Damon Mackins was amazing, he delivered the trial lesson clearly and my son was able to follow all prompts ,and my son is now eager to start his first lesson.

Reece was the technical instructor for the session . He was very good and my daughter who doesn't enjoy her computer lessons in school loved this session.

Brandon was a great tutor and my son really enjoyed the coding course

The trainer was very nice.

So far it was a good experience

I did a taster session with Ben Andrews. He was kind and supportive and was easy to talk with. It felt like he had true passion in helping me to get good at 3D modelling. I have done 3D game design before and all the teachers have the same kindness and compassion. I truly appreciate Software Academy.

Not bad i actually learn't a few things from this experience and that was just a taster session. I do reccomend it. Also the guy teaching me was funny and not one of those mundane and boring teachers.

The session was amazing.My daughter enjoined it so much and the tutor was also very supportive.

Overall, our experience with Software Academy has been mixed.

We initially started with group classes, but unfortunately the first couple of sessions were largely taken up with other children downloading and setting up the required software, which meant very little teaching could actually take place. That may well have been an isolated experience, and Software Academy may have improved this since.

We then moved to private tuition, which has worked much better for us. The one-to-one support has been a real positive, and our son has benefited from having dedicated time with his tutor.

The major disappointment, however, has been graduation. This is now the second year in a row that our son has completed a qualification with Software Academy but has not been able to attend his own graduation because places have sold out.

As a university lecturer who has worked in education for over 20 years, I find this very difficult to understand. Graduation is such an important part of recognising a learner’s achievement, and the idea that a student can complete a qualification but not be able to attend the event intended to celebrate that achievement is, to me, extremely disappointing.

We have spent a considerable amount each month on private tuition over the past two years, so it is frustrating that our son has now missed this milestone twice. We had been considering continuing next year and potentially enrolling him on further programmes, but this has genuinely made us reconsider. We do not want to continue investing significant amounts of money only for him to miss out on celebrating his achievements again.

I appreciate that venues have capacity limits and that tickets are offered on a first-come, first-served basis, but I do think Software Academy needs to review how graduation is organised. Whether that means a larger venue, more than one ceremony, or a different booking system, every learner who completes a qualification should, as far as reasonably possible, have the opportunity to attend.

There have been positives, particularly with the private tuition, but this repeated issue has left us very disappointed.

Software Academy have been great at making Architecture visualisation accessible for young people.My children have learnt a new skill for life. Making the course more interactive could give a better experience to a younger audience. The staff is very supportive.

The taster session with Eden Smithbury was very helpful for my daughter. It was great to see what she could do on Photoshop, including creating animations. We’ve already subscribed and I’ll definitely recommend it to parents who want to give their children a good start.
