What our students say
"I loved moments where we got to see behind the scenes. It was amazing to see the Pro Tools session with the actual audio plugins Tim was using, the score with film-specific performance notes on it, etc. There is nothing more valuable than looking behind the curtain with your own eyes and absorbing everything you can!"
"I would say the best thing is learning from somebody who has real world experience in the field being taught. Timothy is able to provide very in-depth examples and relate topics to personal experiences. His experience shows in his teachings!"
"[The best thing about this is course is...] that we spend the vast majority of the time on things that require experience/insider knowledge. Tim's really transparent and eager to answer questions and make sure that people are getting value out of the course. I'm very happy I took this course."
"Prof. Williams is such a professional, but also very much down to Earth, encouraging, and I personally find him very motivational. The content is applicable, it's not "fluff," and above all, he's very approachable. The classes are very informative, and I am very impressed with how "user friendly" the whole tone and presentation is. The entire class was dedicated to thinking musically, creatively, and how to polish a product for best presentation. It's transformative. As a professional musician and music educator, this course opens up a world of opportunity to so many constituents. I am so thrilled to be part of this experience."
"Timothy and Drew are the best thing about the course. They are both skilled in sharing their knowledge of the craft and they are also both doing a good job of being relatable and accessible. It is extremely helpful to be able to ask them questions and to receive a response. I also have loved the Discord community. Connecting with other students over a shared love of music is a nice and unexpected opportunity this class has also given."
"Adrian's game writing course was amazing! I went in with no knowledge about the industry, and I wasn't treated less than because of it. I learned so much from Adrian, the guest speakers, and the assignments. Because of the class, I feel confident enough to apply for game writing jobs, which I couldn't say before the class. Adrian's passion for the field shows, and he wants all of the students to succeed. He was professional, knowledgeable, and just fun. The class also introduced me to some wonderful fellow writers, and it was great being surrounded by other creatives. I highly recommend the class to anyone who's thinking of a career transition. You won't regret it!"

"The AI Solutions Architect course exceeded my expectations with its well-structured curriculum that balances theoretical foundations with practical applications. Duc brings valuable industry experience to teaching, providing insights beyond textbook knowledge. The course effectively equipped us with both technical expertise and thought leadership skills that have directly enhanced our professional work. The collaborative learning environment with Tony facilitated valuable connections with peers that have lasted beyond the program. Thank you Duc & Tony!"
"One of the best things about this course was Vanessa's transparent and thorough reflection on the industry. It's hard to explain the nuances of production and she was illustrative in speech."
"Adrian Ropp was my instructor and he is absolutely amazing. The course helped me build my skills and portfolio to be fully equipped to handle the video game industry as a narrative designer/game writer. I was worried at first because I found them through a random instagram ad and the price point is a bit steep, but I found that the program was well-worth it! I would recommend this for someone who is already a decent/strong writer and would like to enter the gaming industry, but is unsure where to begin or what to expect."
"I loved the hands-on exercises as they gave real-world experience to practice what we had learned. Each lesson was valuable due to Julia's breadth of knowledge, her kindness, and her network, who joined to guest speak during some of our lessons. The professionals in this course were one of a kind."
"As someone who is completely new to the book publishing industry, I was able to receive a wealth of knowledge that leaves me more confident than ever to pursue freelancing. I really enjoyed all of the class engagement with other students. The discord channel has been INCREDIBLY helpful for not just information but networking as well."
"The course overview was very well organized, and the practical examples provided by Andrew offered a genuine insight into the art field. It was valuable to see his perspective from a corporate point of view. Alex also clarified key points in a very concise and insightful manner—both were a great match, as their patience and clarity played a vital role in the class."
"What did I appreciate most about our instructor?… His passion for the subject matter and willingness to share his knowledge and wisdom in order to equip and empower his students."
"I am happy to share that I participated in the AI Solution Architect course by ELVTR. Special thanks to our instructor Duc Haba and Tony Merlo for the inspiration and guidance during the interactive online classes!"
"I loved this class. I have always been reluctant to participate in large format organized education and this exceeded my expectations. The assignments were just the right amount of challenging, the course material was engaging and informative. The instructors walked through each subject with diligence and care. Really great."
"I had an amazing time in this class. I feel extremely encouraged to write again and confident enough to apply for game writing positions. I don't think I could say that prior to taking the class."
"There are so many things to enjoy with this course! Our instructor and guest speakers were very knowledgeable in varying sections of the industry providing this course with different perspectives and areas of expertise. The accessibility to the resources and job opportunities was incredibly inclusive. Additionally having the discord server to be able to connect with others in the course outside of class time was so beneficial to creating connections and learning together. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in understanding the business of publishing!"
"This course was an incredible journey into the world of designing scalable, innovative AI solutions. From mastering requirements gathering to navigating infrastructure and stakeholder approvals, every step was packed with insights that will help shape the future of tech and product development.

"I'm enjoying this class and can't believe it is almost finished! Time certainly flew... and yet, I have learned a lot in this class!
This class has really allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and learn more about screenwriting for animated films by having me rewatch films I have seen and films I haven't watch before for research (in fact, my experiences in the class had given me the courage to view 'Anastasia', an animated film that I wanted to watch but never got to see it.)"

Gallery Management
"This is somewhat of a niche topic that really there isn’t much information on and it’s sporadic where there is. Having everything all grouped together and taught by a professional in an extremely respectable gallery is shockingly a big deal to me. Thank you. It ironically came at a perfect time for me.. it felt like the universe put this in my path - and I remember just weeks ago I unfortunately felt a lot of imposter syndrome walking into this new path in my career and this class pretty much single handedly has me hopeful, feeling prepared, and feeling like yes, I do have the experience, I do have enough knowledge, and I can figure this out and make it happen."
