Great facilities, great instructor and great training … Good job

Took the InDesign Essentials class today with Jonathan and it was a blast! I learned a bunch of new stuff and most importantly how to work more efficiently! I will be back to take more courses on other adobe software.

Used them for my website development and maintenance program. Attentive to our needs, always ready to help and great on price. Would recommend for your training needs, we’ve learnt a lot and have been given lots of homework to do too.
Our staff have had one on one training and things have already improved for our business.

Training that’s more than just by the book. That’s one of the great things about Roundpeg.
I’ve taken a half dozen classes with Roundpeg over the past two years (Dreamweaver, Photoshop and most recently After Effects and Premier Pro with Mark) and have a great experience. Learning something as in-​depth as an Adobe program can be daunting whether you already have some knowledge or are taking it new for the first time. Roundpeg’s instructors did a great job of moving through a TON of content and teaching new things while at the same time making sure we understood it before moving on.
My classes sizes were always 4 – 6 people and somehow seemed to be a good mix of students who had some knowledge and newbies. This in turn opened up great discussions on best practices and practical every day uses of the material.
Aside from the classes themselves I really like the Newport Beach location — just clean and professional. Brand new iMac’s and great facilities. Not sure about other people that were there teaching but the girl who set me up with the class was Melissa. She was great, even sent me project files that I accidentally deleted right before class to make sure I was caught up.
Roundpeg’s been such an asset and great knowledge base for me that even after I moved to Miami I’ll fly back to the OC to take classes there whenever possible.

Go somewhere else because they don’t want or need your money.
…Unless you live in Newport Beach.
Keep in mind they only offer classes DURING the week (M-​F) for two days ONCE a month so if you miss a window for lessons you’ve got to wait ’til next month. Never mind your 9 to 5.
I tried, on several occasions, to take classes in Los Angeles for After Effects and felt like I got the run around with scheduling. When I did manage to lock in a date, I was pushed towards online classes or recorded lessons. For this type of computer program (and price), I want to be hands on with the instructor in the room. After explaining this to the rep (?) I was told Newport was my only viable option. Newport? But I signed on for Los Angeles…
In the end, I never felt like the lady I was dealing with gave one crap one way or the other so I canceled my request with Roundpeg.
The same day I canceled, I asked around and found a class at Moviola in Hollywood for $ 300 less than what Roundpeg wanted, happening on that very Saturday & Sunday.
I finished yesterday and I’m grateful for it BUT Roundpeg put a bad taste in my mouth and I’m out of tooth paste.
Done and done.
Go somewhere else because they don’t want or need your money.
