Overall, ELVTR offers valuable classes, tangible credentials (certificate, portfolio, etc.) and opportunities for professional development/upskilling.

I appreciated Alex for being my first point of contact and patiently walking me through my class selection (not to mention the pricing+promo package that they offered at the time)!

I appreciated Izzy for being flexible, empathetic, and responsive when I was enrolled.

I appreciated Lola for being attentive and informative whenever possible, even before and after the class term.

I would probably take another class if time+opportunity permits. The class days+times were ideal for me. 2 weekdays, after 5pm (Pacific time), for 6 weeks with a week break!

The person I spoke to was very helpful and went above and beyond throughout the whole process.

I took the 8 week Editor in Book Publishing course with Tom Hoeler and it was fantastic! Tom was such a great instructor, very open, encouraging and down to earth. The whole team was terrific. I learned a lot about the publishing industry which I have been interested in starting a new career in. Highly recommend taking this course!

ELVTR is the type of company that gives the people what they want; industry-relevant courses to those interested in advancing in their careers. I took the Book Production Management course and absolutely loved every second of it. Not only did we follow a course that taught us what goes into production on a more detailed manner, but we learned important topics and systems from an industry expert that is valued and respected in the industry. Vanessa Robles was incredible to learn from, and her assignments and teaching made learning that much more enjoyable. While I highly recommend this specific course, I know that there are many more taught by the best of the best, ranging from all kinds of industries. If this is something you're considering, I would highly recommend it.

Regarding the production manager course, everything went great. Overall, I would totally recommend this course. If Production Management is what you are looking for, this is great for any level, especially junior or intermediate. Bryan, the producer conducting the course, is amazing at what he does. He was very clear with the details of this position, and the roadmap to follow made sense in relation to the objective of the course. The content was great, the classes were clear and detailed, and the after-hours sessions were full of students asking many questions.

One opportunity I would have enjoyed is having more open-table conversations with Bryan. Either we were listening to Bryan, or we were asking questions, but the space to converse was a bit limited.

ELVTR truly taught me goldmine knowledge pertaining to my industry and I’m at a much better position now that I’ve done it 🙏 it’s definitely given me a spark thank you <3

This course was an incredible experience! As a self-taught writer, I feel like I now see my work in a completely new way and have strengthened my skills in story structure, character development, and visual storytelling. Learning directly from David N. Weiss was a privilege. His industry insight and thoughtful, personalized feedback were invaluable and the classes themselves were well-paced, highly interactive, and filled with practical tools I could immediately apply to my writing. I would absolutely recommend this course to anyone looking to grow as an animation writer and elevate their storytelling to a professional level. Thank you for this opportunity!

I signed up to the A&R course which started off great. Unfortunately due to personal reasons I had to pull out. the customer support team, Camryn and Delise, were super understanding and really did support me all the way through. Great team

Ricardo Tlatoa was my point of contact regarding student success. He was very flexible and explained all my options to me. Was very patient and kind. I recommend him 100%

The course coordinators, staff, teacher and assistants were all stellar. Even as shy as I am, my classmates were insightful and I gathered so much experience participating and being present for each class. I took the Game Writing course with Adam Dolin at ELVTR. The course was well thought and easy to follow. I had so much support in submitting in the assignments and receiving feedback for my work. I recommend ELVTR and any of their courses to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge and finding a community of like-minded people to share knowledge and ideas with!

The Basketball Analytics course was a game changer for me! I came in looking for a way to merge my passion for basketball with my career in tech, and this helped do just that. I left with real analytics skills, portfolio-ready projects, and a network to lean on. The instructor's experience in the NBA brought a level of depth and detail to each lesson that would be hard replicate. Incredible support staff. Highly recommend!

I was apprehensive at first before paying for this course as I have never done an online course before but now that I have completed it, I can honestly say this was the best decision I made.

The service and online facilities were excellent, no technical faults at all during the 9 week course. I had constant support available to me and they even reached out several times to check up on my progress and offered help if needed.

The teacher for my subject was incredibly knowledgable and well-skilled, I learnt so much from them. I finished the course feeling confident with a project to add to my portfolio that I’m proud to bring to any job interview.

The course I did with ELVTR was ‘Transport Design’ and I would recommend it if you're thinking about studying it as a degree to give yourself a leg up or even switching careers late in life to learn new creative skills.

An actual waste of time. Insructor would keep seeing how much time was left
Lots of time for silly questions and unclear directions.

I was suspicious of the platform at first, because I'd never heard of it, but ELVTR works with accomplished industry professionals who really know their stuff. I also appreciated the level of detail that went into the course, preparation, and assignments, and I'm grateful to Sabina, our program manager, who kept us on track, organized, and informed.

Ivy is an experienced UX Designer as well as a good instructor. She explained UX design concepts for videos games using engaging examples, and interactive exercises. It was a fun class and I enjoyed interacting with other students to evaluate UX designs for video games.

I' ve had a great learning expirience during my Board Game production coarse with Corey Koniezcka. Despite being brief (4 months, twice a week) course opened my eyes on every important aspect of designing a game: sales pitch, artwork, budgeting, finding production partners, playtesting and planing a project. If you are beginner, this course will be a massive help in understanding what you need to do, and where to get help. It was great to see students come up with their ideas, showcase games and sales pitches. Im not going to cover everything, but practical assignments were instrumental for my personal and professional growth. So, 5 stars and recomendation.

The most gate-kept, overly complex, odd format for a course I've ever taken. I am a week in and not very impressed. Releasing Zoom times hours before the session (insanely inconvenient), not simply sending out links for meetings, not having key information in the Google Classroom. Essentially having to operate across platforms to follow the information chain. Not letting students download materials, e.g. the syllabus. Also the company is described as being a platform, it's not; they use 3rd party tools.

I learned a lot through the Book Production Management course and had tons of fun while doing it! My instructor went above and beyond to share valuable information. I enjoyed the personal 1:1 and case studies throughout the course. I look forward to taking another course in the future!

There is no pricing info anywhere, so the only way I was to see how much the course was, was to book a consultation with an advisor. Which I then immediately cancelled upon seeing the price. Since then (3 days ago) I have received probably 8 emails spamming me. I have now had to block them and move them to junk. Scammy sales tactics and very strange behaviour to omit certain info to force you to input your contact information
