MAVO - Vzdělávání, s.r.o.

Graphic studio course 11/2021 range 80 hours Environment: Small classroom, unpleasant working environment, little space, we look at the projection in a bend over, uncomfortable chairs laid out, outdated small laptops with old versions of the programs that were the subject of the course. No possibility to make tea, coffee. I go to the toilet to spin the water. Course contents: The first day we start 2.5 hours later, the lecturer was not ready, the programs were installed in the classroom. We didn't even introduce ourselves. He shows us the Corel program. The next day we dive fully into Corel, we go tool by tool, the explanation is fast, no one asks if we are done, we move on. In class, covid is discussed quite fundamentally, to which, for example, 1 hour of the whole day is devoted, which is a pity, I want to learn something, not listen to the opinions of the individual. The lecturer wrote down our names on a piece of paper. The next day I asked for a slower pace of interpretation to ask if we have tested on my PC, what shows ... the lecturer was astonished. ,, I still have to ask you? '' Nothing has changed since then. Everything continued the same for the rest of the course. Detailed explanation of all tools, but without the practical part, creating a flyer, promotional materials, etc .. We learned only lines, curves, shapes, text, no goal A few days before the end of the course, the participants and I said that we wanted to learn business cards and the logo practically. The lecturer agrees. He shows us. Only unfortunately the last 2 days online. The first day of online technical problems, did not send everyone passwords, another delay ... Overall assessment: The course was very low in all respects, unfortunately I leave without practical knowledge, which I have to teach myself. The lecturer was fine, but quite unprepared, which was reflected throughout the course.

I sincerely regret that the quality did not really correspond to my idea of ​​retraining (Graphic Worker course), thanks to which I could apply for a junior graphic artist job. I understand that hours certainly take a lot of time to learn something, but unfortunately I have a feeling that we have not learned anything. Premises - a really unprepared room in which we were crowded without normal access to our own seating. In case of any need to leave the place, the person had to restrict the work of at least another 2 participants. It was very cold in the premises, it was constantly ventilated. Most of the participants had been wearing rough sweaters since the next day, and we were bringing tea from home. Water and no snacks were offered, we even found out about the kitchen after a few days. The trainer poured water on the first day and brought about 4 glasses, for all participants (7) and we continued to draw water from the toilet. So he was not interested in this side of the course at all. This can still be overlooked. Readiness - we spent the first day at least 1.5 - 2 hours because the trainer installed the software, did not have the forms ready, did not know where it was. We didn't learn anything and we were basically driven to sign up for trial versions of the program online. I absolutely don't understand this. An accredited school has not purchased the necessary certificates for teaching programs? The course - most of the tools were tried out by the trainer right in front of us and then he showed them to us quickly. I have no doubt that we went through the tools at Corel, but practical training was absolutely lacking. Everything was too fast and chaotic, without stopping and checking. He wasn't interested in the feedback at all, he basically came to learn it. With the words that he is not a graphic designer, but only a lecturer, he actually took the whole course. After a few days, when we explained to him that we really wanted to go practically, the practical lessons were a trial-and-error process, which led to confusion and constant repetition, because we never knew when to do it and when not. We had to help each other to even know what the trainer was about to explain. So the course was a really big disappointment, a huge waste of time and money. I will go to the employment office with the fact that I am not sure how I will apply for a job after this retraining course, as I must first find another course, which unfortunately no one will overpay me, and learn everything that, unfortunately, failed in this . It is definitely not a retraining course, the output of which would be the acquisition of adequate knowledge sufficient for retraining.
