The course itself is really well laid out & thought out. Tom is a wonderful & kind instructor who really explains things well & gives us the tools to be a great editor. My peers are delightfully kind, like-minded & collaborative. There’s no competition between us & we all want to help each other succeed. If you're looking to take a next step in book publishing or want to try something new, I highly recommend taking this course!

Took the course AI for Architects under the helm of Gensler director Aubin Gastineau. I can't believe its over! It was a comprehensive class over-all, discussing topics from Generative AI sketch to rendered images, to Business Proposal. Before on-boarding I honestly was not very well-versed with AI workflows but this course made me more confident with working alongside AI integrated workflows. The assignments are all hands on and was given ample time to finish despite busy work deadlines! The instructor Aubin was well versed in the topic and made everyone feel comfortable exploring new things. Everyone is encouraged to share their insights and ideas. Im actually gonna miss the class, but parting ways with all the knowledge that I have gained so far!👌👌👌

This was a very practical and valuable course. It provided real-world insight into how large design firms operate, develop ideas, use AI, and create impressive presentations. The instructor was knowledgeable, responsive, and kept the class engaging by including guest speakers, workshops, and real project examples.

What I liked: The course doesn't just teach tool mechanics; it builds a real workflow around narrative-driven design, then layers in AI image generation, parametric tools, and even business development strategy as the assignments progress. Being able to apply everything to one continuous fictive project made the learning stick. What to know going in: It moves fast through tool demos, so come ready to experiment on your own between sessions rather than expecting exhaustive tutorials. Overall: Strong for working architects who want AI integrated into an actual design process.

I had a really great experience with ELVTR and would definitely recommend them. The reps and tutors were all lovely, friendly and really easy to talk to. The course gave me a great foot in the door to the industry and gave me the tools and knowledge I needed to start moving in the direction I wanted to go. They give you the resources and opportunities, but ultimately it’s up to you to make something of them. The networking opportunities were a big plus for me too. It was great to meet people already working in the industry and make connections that I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to make otherwise. I also really appreciated how understanding and patient the reps were when I was dealing with some personal, health and financial difficulties during the course. It was a particularly stressful time for me, and they were always really supportive and understanding. That genuinely meant a lot. A special shoutout to Mariana, who was absolutely wonderful throughout the whole thing. She was friendly, professional, patient and always happy to help, especially during what was a pretty difficult and stressful period for me. I honestly can’t thank her enough for all the support she gave me. Overall, I had a really positive experience with ELVTR and can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking to get your foot in the door, develop your skills and meet people in the industry, I’d definitely recommend giving them a go.

The subject matter expert, James, his team (I've no doubt there are many others), Brayan, Pete, were awesome to work with! The course is well worth the experience and knowledge to be gained. James access to other professionals who made guest appearances was also helpful. The broad range of other participants made me feel comfortable, people were at different stages of their careers, from an interest to people fully qualified and the course, the way the content was presented, catered to just about everyone, albeit it did cause us to ask questions about what we didn't understand, which was challenging, but rewarding!

Completed recently the Become a Book Editor with Francisco Vilhena course (actually, I still have the last assignment to do, but the lessons are over now). With no expectations, nor knowledge of the subject, and slight hesitation whether this is something I can manage, the course surprised me with its content, Francisco's stories and discussions in the classes. The insights into a different profession kept it highly interesting and entertaining. Lots of work! But good fun. And plenty of good recommendations for future reads.

Superb inspiring course. I'm actually pitching my game to a big publisher next week!
