The AI PM course was outstanding. Swaroop was an intentional teacher who took her time to break each course down in the easiest ways. Mariana was also an amazing Program Manager who ensured I had a great experience.

First of all the class I took was called Toy Designer with Hector Centeno. Off the bat I'll say that the class itself was phenomenal with a great instructor. He offered extra time in class and would consistently stay after to answer questions.

The google class structure was strange at first but you got used to it very quickly.

THE ONLY REASON I did not give it a perfect 5/5 was due to the predator FOMO pricing up front. I almost didn't take the class because of it. It felt like a scam. And even after I signed up I thought I had been scammed. Thankfully after the first day of class my opinion changed. My suggestion? Don't do the FOMO pricing, the price offered should be the price offered regardless of "early bird sign up".

I can’t even begin to express how grateful I am for this scriptwriting course with David N. Weiss and Steven Roy. Thank you both so much for your guidance, generosity, and inspiration. I will truly carry this experience with me forever. I loved everything about this course, from the incredible teaching to meeting so many talented, passionate creatives within the industry.

Getting to learn about some of my all-time favourites like Shrek and Rugrats—which I watched over and over growing up, was beyond surreal. Seeing real script examples, including Inside Out, was so cool and inspiring. Even just being able to ask questions about the history of screenwriting and hearing everyone’s different journeys was such a powerful and motivating experience. I also absolutely loved listening to everyone’s pitches, being surrounded by so much creativity and originality was incredibly inspiring.

Along the way, I met so many amazing and incredibly talented creatives, and even made lifelong friends, which made the experience even more special. A huge heartfelt thank you as well to my talented friend Geoffrey Pereira, who was the artist for my pitch! I’m so grateful for your support, and collaboration.

A special thank you to Lola and everyone at ELVTR for creating such a supportive, welcoming, and inspiring environment throughout the entire course.

I won’t lie—I cried when it was over. That’s how meaningful it was to me. I would 100% do this course again and again. It’s really lifted my confidence, especially as someone who struggles with anxiety.

I truly can’t recommend this course enough. If you’re thinking about it, do it. It’s an unforgettable experience. 💛✨

Just completed the ELVTR Boardgame design course. Totally worth it. The course gives the tools needed and the knowledge to use them to make boardgames, and it cleverly progresses the students through the skillfully designed assignments to the point where they have a viable prototype game.
ELVTR staff are very friendly, supportive, encouraging, and professional. Course tutor Emerson Matsuuchi is a great teacher that shares his priceless wisdom, and is very friendly too. I couldn't have had better. Assistant tutor Laura Erwin also has so much to give and gave constant support and tutelage throughout. A shout out to Dezmae and Neil at ELVTR. Lovely people. Thanks for everything <3 Tamal

ELVTR is wonderful, I couldn't put in better words, all of the courses I participated were a unique experience. Looking forward to more <3

I have nothing but good things to say about ELVTR's Become a Game Writer course with the incredible Kelsey Howard. The lessons were practical and assignments challenging but engaging. Kelsey provided excellent insights that helped me make sense of the complex game creation process and the game writer's role in all of it. Having the course online made it convenient and the twice-weekly sessions meant I had plenty of time to absorb, process and apply the lessons to assignments and even my own writing outside the course. Note that this is a course about how the writing discipline fits into the game-making process. You won't be taught how to write here. But your writing will get sharper after!

Everyone responded promptly to any questions. Coursework was engaging and challenging. Timings were also flexible to account for my travel in the evenings.

This course truly is good for people just breaking into editing or as a refresher for veterans of the craft. I was already working in the industry, but the course provided valuable insights into the publishing process. It is, by no means, an easy course--you're going to put in the work--but it was definitely worth the investment into the next step in my career.

Honestly an invaluable experience with lots of knowledge and insight given during my time on the course, a big thank you to Caitlin and Gavin!

The Instructors were insightful and were willing to arm me with the tools and the knowledge of how to do what they do!

Now to start poking at the Game Industry with a sharp stick instead of the dull, rusty spoon of Facebook spamming!

Well organized and professionally structured keeping students engaged and focused with a solid process to achieve and perfectly culminating into the capstone project with real-world timelines at an affordable price and with the added convenience of online with supporting material and recordings.

"The instructor, David, was fantastic, he was very animated and his personality truly shined through in each session.

My only constructive feedback for ELVTR is regarding networking. I wish there was a way to stay connected with the class and alumni built directly into the platform. It's nice that they offer a separate Discord server, but having an integrated feature to help us stay connected would make the experience even better. Highly recommended overall"

I recently completed the Comic Book Scriptwriting course at ELVTR with Adam Beechen. The course was highly informative, and the ELVTR team was exceptionally supportive throughout. I look forward to taking more of their courses in the future and would highly recommend them to others.

Thank you.

I am convinced that courses like these provide a significant boost to our careers and give us a real competitive advantage in today’s market. The knowledge I have gained through this platform has been incredibly valuable in helping me stay up to date with current technology and terminology.

Additionally, the opportunity to share experiences and learn from others has strengthened my skills and broadened my perspective. Overall, this has been a very enriching experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to grow professionally.

Excellent instructors and a postive community of students were the key to a satisfying experience. t was great fun to re-engage my creative thought process and learn new ways to think about Big Ideas.

This was an incredible class, getting to learn the ropes of the industry from a real insider. The ELVTR staff were top notch and the instructor was excellent, as well as the incredible guest speakers brought in. ELVTR does a good job putting together a wonderful learning experience.

Great subject and current for the architectural practice

I first learned of ELVTR from a pop-up on my social media page. From there I clicked on learn more and was paired with Uliana, who was very patient with me as I navigated which course would be best for my learning. There was an initial phone call where she answered all of my questions and guided my requests professionally and timely. I took the Book Production Management course with Vanessa Robles, another professional who was incredibly knowledgeable. This course was presented in a way that made the content fun, engaging and easily understandable (for someone with zero publishing background, this was key). ELVTR also provides a program manager who is there to support you through the course, our cohort was paired with Sabina Rodriguez, who is fantastic! From day one she made herself available through phone calls, texts and emails. She introduced herself and provided all the platforms for us to get in touch. Luckily, I only had one small tech issue, which Sabina solved in a very timely manner as to not affect my schooling. I cannot say enough positive things about this organization and the professionals they work with. I am so impressed by my previous experience, I've already signed up for another course!

My experience on the ELVTR 'Comic Book Artist' course with Emma Vieceli was brilliant! I first spotted the course on Instagram and am so glad I applied.
From day one the support has been professional, helpful, kind and technically great!
The course focussed on visual storytelling which is a passion of mine. Beginning with character expression sheets right through to finalised inks on a professional comic book script.
What our amazing teacher Emma Vieceli gave us was the foundation and building blocks to create a finished comic book page with confidence.
With Emma's talent, industry insight and experience we were in the right place and in the right hands to be guided across character design, thumb nailing, pencilling and inking.
If you want to learn about storytelling in comics and be ready as a comic book artist, then this course is for you.

I took Costume Design for Entertainment with Emmy winning designer Jenn Rogien! I am a costume designer for live performance, currently trying to make the jump to film and tv. While I am familiar with the design process, this class gave me every tool I need to apply my skills to film as a medium. Even though I had previous experience, I still found this course challenging, engaging, and I learned so much! Jenn is an amazing teacher, she thoughtfully answers every question, and gives you a very honest perspective of how the industry operates. I got 10 times the value of what I invested in this course.
