Yudaev School

I studied at Yudaev's school in the 8th cohort, which started at the end of last year. Overall, my impressions are positive. I had previously read reviews about different schools and have an idea of their pros and cons, but this was my first time studying in person. The video lessons and accompanying materials are indeed of a high standard. However, there are some points to nitpick: 1) The program is very intensive and condensed. If you don't dedicate time in the evenings and delve into the vast amount of additional materials, your knowledge will be superficial. I compared it to similar programs in other online schools, where they allocated six months for the same amount of material. If you are working, it will be difficult to meet the deadlines, as drawing takes a lot of time for beginners in design. 2) A lack of curators. In my group, there were over 100 people for 2 curators, which sometimes delayed feedback. This is not critical, as they still managed to check and respond to questions. 3) The length of the lessons. I'm used to lessons being either long (2 hours) or short (10-15 minutes), but here they vary: some are 40 minutes, some are 10. This is a bit unusual. Overall, the downsides are not that serious (except for the first one), so the course can be confidently purchased. Feedback is present, and the program covers all the basics of design. In the end, you'll be able to take freelance orders or try to get a job at an agency.

I stumbled upon Nikita Yudaev's web design course by chance – I saw an ad on Instagram. Previously, I had been looking for similar courses and was considering enrolling in larger schools, like Skillbox. To be honest, I was initially skeptical about this course. The price is lower than competitors, the duration of the training is short, and it doesn't have much recognition online – I hadn't seen any ads for it before. Overall, I was a bit apprehensive. Then I looked at the reviews, and they seemed decent, so I decided to take the risk. The training takes place on the GetCourse platform, which I am familiar with. The lessons, live sessions, and homework with feedback are a solid 10 out of 10. The main content is presented through video lessons, and the information is delivered concisely without unnecessary details. The sound and video quality are top-notch. The live sessions cover additional topics, but sometimes it was inconvenient for me to attend them due to my schedule, so I had to settle for the recordings. There are plenty of homework assignments, and all materials are available in the personal account. The assignment checks are done quickly, and my curator was wonderful. In the end, my concerns were unfounded. The course turned out to be excellent, and I don't regret the money spent. In other schools, I would have spent more, and the quality would likely have been worse.

Before starting the design course, I had no idea about it at all. I had no taste, no exposure, no skills – absolutely nothing! However, even before finishing the training, I started taking on inexpensive projects and earning money. Now my skills and income have significantly increased. But I want to emphasize right away that there is no magic pill here. You will have to work a lot, very hard. Not just an hour a day, as some claim, but consistently 3-4 hours. Additionally, you need to read supplementary materials and keep up with current trends. Only then can you achieve results. It won't be easy and at times it will be boring, as you'll have to perfect every detail. Each assignment is analyzed in great detail, and you have to redo everything. But it truly is worth the effort. After completing the course, my portfolio had about 20 works, plus those I did on commission. In the future, I had no problems finding clients.

I spent a long time looking for a design school and initially leaned towards well-known platforms (like ***), trying to avoid the more niche options. However, those who had already completed the training strongly recommended the latter. In the end, I decided to take the risk and I don't regret it. The lessons are conducted on GetCourse, a platform I'm already familiar with, and it truly is the best for online learning. The lessons are released in stages, and after each one, you need to complete homework and work on a project. The curator reviews all assignments and always leaves comments, even if the work is done well (at first, it was a bit annoying that he focused on the details, but in the end, it turned out to be the right approach). There's an option to chat with the group, as well as a chat for all students. Overall, the training is excellent. But the most important thing is the result. It's been just over six months since I finished the course, and now I'm consistently earning around 70-80 thousand freelancing. Yes, it's not millions, but for someone with only six months of experience, I consider this a very respectable outcome, especially considering I don't live in the capital.

In my opinion, the courses are not limited to any specific audience, which initially attracted me. They are suitable for designers at any level - both for beginners and for those who already have some understanding of design, as well as for more experienced professionals. I belong to the second category - I have some experience, but there is always room for improvement. I signed up for the course 4 months ago. It includes 154 classes, which sounds quite impressive. It was developed by Nikita Yunaev. Honestly, I hadn't heard of him before, but he deserves credit for putting together the program. The curriculum is organized in a way that gradually deepens the knowledge - it starts with a superficial introduction (for beginners) and then smoothly delves into the topic. This allowed me to refresh some knowledge (it turned out I didn't know everything from the first classes). As for the classes themselves, the approach is interesting. There is a lot of practice, which is a plus. Skills are honed through completing assignments. These works can then be added to a portfolio (which will definitely come in handy). Additionally, there are homework assignments, self-study options, and other ways for self-assessment. Regarding the organization, everything is classic. They add you to a chat, and then gradually share the lessons. It's convenient that you can go through them at any time. There is a curator who is always ready to help and provide guidance if questions arise. Sometimes a consultation can be very helpful. Speaking about the courses in general, I would recommend them to every designer, regardless of their level of experience. They provide a good start or boost, and in my personal opinion, it's worth thinking independently. In any case, my assessment is positive.

I signed up for the courses at Yudaevschool.ru without much enthusiasm, but from the very first video lecture, I couldn't be distracted from studying. The courses offer quality and accessible material with an interesting and logical lesson structure. Overall, this is truly a strong school. When studying design specialization, it's important to choose the right goal and move forward confidently, and Yudaev School will help with that. I'm glad I studied here, and I thank the entire school team!

I want to express my gratitude to the online school Yudaev School for the quick and high-quality mastering of the graphic design course in the “After Effect” program. The study material is presented in a very structured way, without unnecessary details; everything is concise and accessible, even for those who are far from motion design and for beginners. It was truly a pleasure to learn - all the materials get to the essence and require little time for absorption. Your course, as expected, provides the necessary foundation for starting practice, and further professional growth depends only on us!

I enrolled in the Yudaev School courses after taking the free course. For me, the free classes were just a way to keep myself occupied and learn something new, and I didn't plan to seriously pursue design due to working until 10 PM, business trips, and kids. I had no knowledge of design; I was just an unsure PC user, so I didn't expect much to come of it. However, the way the material was presented, even in the free course (4 days), was very well organized, and it sparked my interest in deeper study. I signed up for the courses without hesitation and I'm very glad I did! The material is presented gradually, everything is explained in detail, and there's a wonderful bonus — feedback! The curators support you from all sides: you can ask questions in the general chat, and on the GetCourse platform, homework is checked very quickly with constructive comments (it feels like the curators work around the clock). Learning is a pleasure. The course provides the necessary foundation. With a speaker like Nikita Yudaev and his team, every designer, regardless of their level of preparation, should take this training. It's an excellent start. Overall, the training is amazing! But even more important is the result!

A wonderful school, the level of material presentation is simply magnificent. Yes, it's not easy, especially if you're starting from scratch. But the effort is worth it. The curators are always ready to help with any questions. They explain everything clearly, record videos or voice messages, but they will definitely find a way for everyone to grasp the material. If you still have doubts — it's in vain... You need to go learn!

Terrible attitude. They don't check the work, often deceive. They lie about the number of students in the program, the assignments, and the earnings. They don't provide all the information about the tasks and then demand their completion. They give an assignment, but during the review, it turns out that much more needs to be done. Why can't they provide a reasonable assignment right away to avoid wasting time on revisions? Everything about the job is a complete lie, don't even think about getting involved.
