East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust · Captivate Introduction — February 2026
Gorgeous premises and lovely, knowledgeable team. I really enjoyed my course (Adobe Firefly) - the tutor was friendly and professional and happy to answer any questions and tailor the course (I was the only student so had my own private session). The class room and the whole building is really well done, modern, clean and professional space that reflects the overall approach. They have fast and modern machines available to use or you can use your own devices. Highly recommended.

Fantastic and super valuable training! Fantastic and super valuable training! Tony shaped the training fully to our needs, adapted, accelerated and deep diving when needed. I learned so much these past days with tangible examples Tony provided.
Adobe — June 2026
The trainer, Lee, was excellent. He rattled through the key elements of Premiere Pro while keeping the course interactive and engaging. The small sessions made it easy to get 1:1 support or clarifications. The pleasant and well equipped office is well situated in Kensal Rise, so easy to find and get to. I learnt a alot - and now feel up to date with latest Premiere Pro options and AI integrations.

Hi Brook, Sorry for the delay - I was on AL yesterday! The training was great, thank you. Tony was very thorough with everything and I definitely left with some new knowledge and skills. I'll leave a review later today. Thanks for sending the materials across. Have a lovely rest of your day!

I wish all training courses were run this well!
RPS Design — June 2026
The Design and Development areas of Clarks shoes has been using Transmedia as a training partner for eight years now, mainly in the 'creative' Adobe applications - Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere. In that time we have built an excellent working relationship with the management and admin teams and several of their core trainers. This has had a major influence in raising the skill levels and quality of our artwork across our design teams- recently extending across the Atlantic, delivering training to our US based designers. Staying with Transmedia has given us continuity and enabled the trainers to really come to understand what Clarks require and thus able to deliver real value for money. The staff are always friendly and a pleasure to deal with - whilst being efficient and professional throughout. Nothing is ever too much trouble. I really can't recommend Transmedia highly enough.
Clarks International — June 2026
The course was excellent - exactly to my company's needs. All questions were answered and concepts explained very clearly.
Hannah Griffiths — June 2026
First class - The trainer was extremely knowledgeable and answered all our questions.
MOD — June 2026
The course itself was really informative and trainer was excellent. Poor communication and organisation between transmedia and QA meant my course was cancelled twice. I hope you improve this relationship. To be honest I would prefer to book direct through you next time, avoiding QA.
Deborah M — June 2026
The session on the 25th was brilliant, thank you. The SE's found it very useful and loved Tony's tips and tricks to help us update our prototypes quickly.
