I haven't had a chance to use what I've learned yet, but my course was so informative, the teacher (Adam) was incredibly approachable and available for questions and help, and I had so much fun learning alongside so many others!

Daniela was very courteous, understanding, and promptly responsive. The opportunity offered went about as I expected, which was disappointing, but her efficiency helped swallow the bitter news. Thank you again!

This course has been invaluable for me. As an experienced static graphic designer, I have been wanting to add motion into my work for a while now and have never managed to grasp it alone, but with Brendan’s help, he has given me the confidence to take my work to a different level. Such a well planned and supportive course with a great community. 100% worth every penny!

This class was a very worthwhile experience, and I am very grateful to Sabina and Jacob for ensuring the class was smooth sailing, especially for those like myself who are balancing their current job with the course workload. I also want to extend my appreciation most of all to Ivy for believing in my abilities and giving me her recommendation, on top of her wonderful teaching skills and well-thought-out curriculum. I have come away from this course with a newfound passion for UX/UI and optimization designed for gamers' unique, individual needs.

Course Instructer: Julia Wallace
ELVTR Liaison: Marianna Aldavaz

I took this course from 04/10 - 05/22 and I enjoyed my experience. Julia was a wonderful instructor and her notes were very thorough. She was also active in the Discord server. Marianna was also amazing, answering questions in a timely manner and forwarding links for articles in class.

The only thing that kept it getting a full 5 stars was the lack of examples for homework, particularly in formatting, for those of us diving headfirst into the industry with zero experience.

All in all, it was a great time. I made some new friends and there are no regrets here. Would recommend to others.

The UX/UI for Gaming course by Ivy Sang was amazing! She is so kind and thoughtful throughout the entire course, creating multiple times and areas in the lectures for questions we might have. I loved her course and the whole ELVTR team throughout my journey into UX/UI for Gaming. Thank you again Ivy, and I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this course to anyone trying to step into the Gaming Industry through UX design or UI Art.

The team at Elevtr are attentive, professional, and accommodating. The course itself I took, become a game writer with Adam Dolin, was superb, with insider knowledge and technical skill application joining a steady guiding hand to our writing. Our class program manager Sabina was terrific and always reached out to us to help and check in.

I had great instructors that made the experience amazing. The ELVTR staff was really helpful and guided me through the entire process. Even though I’m from Spain and couldn’t attend the live lessons due to the time difference, they made sure I had access to all the materials and recordings. The platform is well-structured, and the learning experience is smooth and engaging.

I had taken the 'Composing for Video Games' course that was taught by Instructor Jason Graves. My ELVTR liaison was Saul Mora.

It gave me a lot of much needed direction and polish. The instructor was enthusiastic about our learning which motivated me to perform better, beyond that he also gave us access to a great networking circle that is sure to help us in our future endeavors should we appropriately leverage it. Overall, it was a great experience that refined my creative process, introduced me to the business/industry side of things, provided me with some experiences that reflect real-world environments, and provided a solid springboard for future employment.

The ELVTR team were also very accommodating to my queries and requests despite however frequent or trivial they might seem.
It was a very streamlined experience overall.

Fantastic content delivered by a wonderful course leader, has opened the floodgates of opportunity, by showing me key insights for my future career, the course was a decent length, was challenging in a welcoming way which made me want to strive, a feeling I haven't had for a long time. Worth every penny, loved my time with ELVTR.

Jason Graves’ course was inspiring and practical—full of real-world tips on storytelling through music, game scoring techniques, and creative sound design. A must for aspiring game composers!

The environment, lessons and instructors were all very engaging and knowledgeable. Especially when it comes to the ever shifting landscape of AI. The frame works provided not only applied to the utilization if ai but how to be proficient as a person in creative spaces .

I participated in the "Become a Game Writer" course with Adam Dolin and I can say it's totally worth it.

As an introductory course to game development and particularly to game writing they are excellent. They provide structured guidance about the most common tools used in the industry, some of the processes too. They also explain and have you practice the four or five basic kinds of products any game writer should master.

The instructors are great and it's also a good place to make friends and contacts for future projects.

As a person with previous experience in writing, both creative and scholar, couldn't ask much more from this course.

The rest depends on each of us to really make ourselves a path as game creatives!!

How to Become a Game Writer was a course I did not anticipate taking this year. I am that I did! Everyone was kind, welcoming, and knowledgeable. I learned new aspects of writing that I originally thought I knew about, and now I am able to look at creative writing through the lens of game writing and development- a concept I never thought of prior. This has not only introduced me to game design but enabled me to dive deeper into my writing by examing things, like the relationship between the player and the characters, even more.

With no relevant education or experience, just following my childhood dream, I took an animation scriptwriting course from ELVTR by David Weiss and Steven Roy. Not only talented and well-versed in writing scripts for animated features and TV, but they are a rare type of true teachers who care about you as a person and aspiring professional. While David generously shared his wisdom gained on productions like Rugrats, Shrek, and Hypergalactic (as well as some unsuccessful projects – I think that was double important), Steven commented on every tiny detail in my assignments and final project. So, from having nothing but a random idea, in less than 3 months, I crafted a pitch deck of my animated feature IP. To me, it felt like a giant leap. I keep writing a script and have some trouble with discipline, so I really hope there will be a successor class to work on finalizing our screenplays. Our Discord community is still active months after the class, and people keep exchanging feedback and inspiration. I loved everything about this experience.

Fantastic, comprehensive training course.

It was a really great experience. From the start talking to someone at ELVTR about what the course actually was and how it would help you if you wanted to freelance or change careers, to hearing from Julia about the industry. The Discord server they make for the class to talk to each other is such a nice touch and made me feel like I was in the classroom. I didn’t feel pressured to attend if I was busy or working. I love the information they give and while I was nervous about the assignments, I liked them and I feel I learned a lot. Definitely sign up if you want to learn about an industry in-depth and just want to try it out!

I took the BECOME A GAME WRITER course taught by Adrian Ropp and TA Carrie Harris. Both provided in-depth feedback and expressed genuineness in their feedback and teaching. I appreciate the opportunity ELVTR provided and may take another class from them someday!

I learned many important work skills and also life skills at the Creative Director course. It helped me see the latest trends and meet other creative people with the same mindset. I appreciate the teachings of Randy and Alec with the great assistance of Mariana. Thank you, ELVTR!

I really liked the AI Solution Architect course. The course covered important topics in depth and had practical exercises that let me use my skills in real situations. The skilled and absolutely wonderful teachers, Duc and Tony, gave helpful tips, and I had a great time connecting with my classmates. Our fantastic administrator Brayan was always there for us, invisibly making sure everything works as should and even better. The materials were always current. Finishing the course greatly improved my job opportunities. Overall, it was a life changing experience that gave me great chance to grow in the AI field!
