What a great group of people with my classmates and advisors. It was a very welcoming community and the advisors were amazing always being so thoughtful and kind and patient with our questions and problems we had throughout the course.

I recently took the Beauty Product Development Manager Course with Kim Fenn. The course was brilliant, and if I'm honest, it was better than expected. The ELVTR team were fantastic, from the very first call with the ELVTR Learning Advisor, to the check-ins with the Programme Manager. And the course! The course was brilliant. Kim our tutor was not only exceptionally knowledgeable but also very friendly and approachable. The syllabus was very well put together and everything flowed nicely. We were set assignments and I am sad to say I will miss them! The course made me think about beauty in a different way and is vital to my personal development. I also had a 1:1 session with Kim which has been invaluable. Thank you to Kim and the ELVTR team for being a huge part of my summer!

I followed the course "Music Composition for Video Games with Jason Graves" and I was blown away by the professionalism, the enthusiasm, the amount of useful content shared during the 6 weeks. Jason is a wonderful instructor, and Sam the course manager did a great job in keeping all glued. I absolutely want to recommend this course to composers who are doing the first steps in video game scoring. You will learn lot of things and most importantly you will see things in action not just theory! Last to mention also the connection with other composers

I took the Film Sound Design class with Joshua Fielstra. This class was phenomenal for kicking me back into gear and rolling on continuing to advance my sound design abilities and knowledge. I loved how open the instructor was about the plethora of tools, techniques, and methods he employs. The reviewer, Lacey, gave great feedback and ways to improve on each project. The administrative team (especially Sabina) also consistently checked in on the class, asking for reviews throughout and always made sure to support each student while assisting with any challenges as they came up. Everything in this class was helpful, and the access to recordings of every piece with a follow-up within a year with the instructor on any topic were great additions.

I was advertised an interesting-sounding online course on board game design and decided to sign up as I had a casual interest in furthering a hobby of mine. Upon signing up (which required a phone number) they immediately rang me twice at 9am on a saturday morning to ‘discuss my next steps’ as if it was a job interview. When I asked follow-up questions about why they were being so forward about this they ghosted me and were unresponsive about simple GDPR questions. Extremely intrusive and shady company who seemingly exist as a data collection scam.

Really my experience with the team was amaizing!! they help me in averything.
Without a doubt, I would take more courses with you. You have a great sense of responsibility and teamwork.

Michiel Pruijssers is hands down the best educator one can have for the space. He makes sense of the complexity and ambiguity around AI in a ways where I could bring it back to my teams and add design value & increase the engineers' & data scientists' value within showcasing my first prototype. Not only that, I showcased my efficiency at interviews & received an offer.
It's great to have the basics cleared in this manner, so I can apply the learnings.

This course was insightful, practical, and inspiring. James encouraged us to think critically about design and use AI as a creative amplifier. He gave thoughtful, constructive feedback that pushed our ideas further and helped us grow. The structure balanced strategy with hands-on work, and the live sessions made learning feel collaborative and engaging. A great experience overall.

This course was far more than a how-to—it was a comprehensive, thought-provoking journey into the evolving relationship between design and artificial intelligence. It seamlessly blended foundational theory, critical research, and hands-on creative practice, making it one of the most well-rounded learning experiences I’ve had.
We began with the core ideas behind AI—understanding how these systems learn, generate, and simulate, and what that means for the future of creative work. The instructor brought clarity to complex topics like machine learning, neural networks, and generative models, helping us grasp not just what AI can do, but how and why it works.
What made the course especially powerful was its emphasis on research and critical thinking. We examined key ideas from AI ethics, design theory, and cultural studies, which helped us reflect on authorship, originality, bias, and the responsibility we carry as designers using powerful new tools. These insights weren’t treated as side notes—they were woven into every part of the curriculum.
On the practical side, we engaged in a wide range of exercises that challenged us to apply AI in ways that felt meaningful, personal, and forward-looking. Whether working solo or collaboratively, I always felt encouraged to experiment, reflect, and push my thinking.
Most importantly, this course helped reframe AI not as a threat to creativity, but as a new design partner—one that can expand our imaginations, surface unexpected ideas, and help us design not just faster, but more thoughtfully.
If you’re a creative looking to future-proof your practice, or simply curious about what it means to design in collaboration with intelligent systems, this course is a must. It’s not just about skills—it’s about mindset, ethics, and vision.

I took the Music Composition for Games course with Jason Graves, and it was easily one of the best online learning experiences I’ve had. The course content was practical, inspiring, and structured in a way that built real-world skills fast. Jason didn’t just teach techniques—he taught how to think like a working composer.

The feedback was detailed and personal, not canned. I felt seen and supported the whole time. By the end, I had a solid portfolio piece, a better workflow, and the confidence to go after real projects.

I also made lasting connections with fellow students through our Discord group—sharing feedback, wins, struggles, and industry insight. That community has been just as valuable as the course itself.

ELVTR’s platform was smooth, and their support team actually responded when I had questions. The alumni perks (like discounts on major plugin libraries) were a nice bonus too.

I highly recommend this if you're serious about leveling up your creative career.

My experience with ELVTR US LLC and their "AI Solution Architect" course, featuring instructor Duc Haba, raises significant concerns regarding their operational practices. From the outset, the focus appeared to be disproportionately on aggressive payment collection rather than educational value. I received an excessive number of calls, often 5 to 10 times a day, accompanied by persistent messages, all seemingly designed to pressure me into making a payment. This high-pressure sales approach felt highly unprofessional and created an immediate sense of distrust.

The most telling red flag occurred when I requested a simple, standard piece of information: the LinkedIn profile of the instructor, Duc Haba. This is a common and reasonable request when considering an online course, as it helps verify the instructor's credentials and experience. Immediately after this request, all communication from ELVTR US LLC ceased – the incessant calls and messages stopped entirely. This abrupt silence strongly suggests a lack of transparency and an unwillingness to provide basic verification, which is deeply troubling for any educational platform. Based on these highly suspicious tactics, potential learners should exercise extreme caution and thoroughly investigate ELVTR US LLC before considering enrollment.

Absolutely fantastic course by David Weiss and Steven Roy, I’ve really enjoyed their animation script writing class! On top of that, ELVTR is always willing to hear you out if you don’t like a course and will refund you if it’s not a fit. I really appreciate this program, as well as the scriptwriting class.

I had an amazing time with Adam Dolin's Become a Game Writer Course. I loved it. All the information was immensely helpful.

I recently completed the Marketing for Motorsports course with ELVTR and was impressed by the balance between theory and real-world application. The course gave me deeper insights into how the motorsports industry operates behind the scenes from branding and sponsorship to digital strategies and fan engagement.
The instructor brought practical experience to every session, guest speakers and the assignments pushed me to think creatively while staying strategic.
It wasn’t textbook marketing it was more about applying concepts directly to current motorsport brands and situations.
If you're looking to sharpen your marketing skills specifically for the motorsports industry, this course is definitely worth it.

I’m incredibly grateful for my learning journey at ELVTR with instructor Michiel Pruijsser and program manager Esther Palaez.

When I began the course, I found it both challenging and intimidating. I was surrounded by passionate, knowledgeable professionals who were already asking advanced questions about the latest developments in AI. It was a bit overwhelming at first—but also deeply inspiring.

Michiel’s hands-on teaching approach emphasized learning through trial and error. Each assignment pushed me out of my comfort zone, from training models in notebooks to analyzing user flows in AI-powered products and identifying smart ways AI can enhance user experiences.

Michiel was always approachable, generous with his time, and proactive in answering questions—often sharing extra insights and resources on Discord to keep our learning community engaged. Esther also played a huge role in making the experience smooth and supportive, accommodating any challenges I faced along the way.

I walked away from this course more confident in my skills and excited about the possibilities of designing with AI.

I am looking forward to Toms class with bated breath as i am so excited to try to break into this industry i can hardly express my anticipation. Miriam made the enrollment process an absolute dream, and to the people balking at the price i would say 2 things.
1. This is an investment in yourself and your future i wholeheartedly believe from my experience they are doing everything they can to make sure you see a return on that investment.
2. If you are serious about what you are trying to do and honest with them about your financial situation i can say personally they will do everything they can to help you find an option that will work for your situation and that is surely not something you can say of all learning institutions by a long shot.
I cant wait to take my course and hopefully more and maybe one day instruct a course myself!!!

So helpful and insightful. Oscar really guided me in the right direction and surprised me with what the program offers. I'm glad I took the time to listen and look forward to my experience here!

I recently completed the AI & ML Solutions for Financial Services course on ELVTR, taught by Paul J. Davis (SVP, Head of AI/ML Model Development at Wells Fargo) and James Gearheart (Senior Data Scientist and ML Engineer), and I can confidently say it was an outstanding learning experience. This course is a must for anyone looking to bridge the gap between AI/ML theory and real-world financial applications.

I completed ELVTR's Editor in Book Publishing course with Julia Wallace could not be more thrilled with the outcome of investing in this course. As someone who entered with little to no experience in the industry, this course gave me the tools to navigate the publishing world and the skills to succeed as an editorial professional. I not only left with a solid portfolio from the course assignments, but also confidence to tackle the publishing industry both in freelance or at a publishing house. Julia is a wonderful instructor and truly cares about her students. I was lucky enough to gain funding from my employer to take this course, but I would not have one regret if this were paid for out of pocket!

The courses on ELVTR are very educational, and easy to keep up with. I felt right at home with the classmates I learned along side with, and it was very easy to communicate. I recommend courses like these to anyone!
