Training you say? Yes, that’s right!

The happy trainer

Having over 3 years experience teaching in higher education (both in the U.K and Australia) I was excited to set up something specific to my skillset. In 2017 I founded Adam’s Animation Academy an online tutored course to help people learn an industry-standard tool. This was off the back of becoming the U.K’s first certified expert in the software, Toon Boom Harmony. In 2024 we began to expand into other guest expert tutors, with Moho Pro courses and veteran animators like Tony White joining us.

I also provide on-site tutoring for those who prefer a crash course, hands-on approach. These courses can be tailored to any level and are popular with higher education institutions (previous clients include Edge Hill, Manchester school of Art, UWE, UCAL) and animation studios (Aardman Animations, A Productions, Lighthouse, Daily Madness, Wildbrain).

What kind of training do I offer?

  • For studios: training of animators in-house
  • For universities: Staff crash courses and associate lecturing for students
  • One on one: Online sessions booked to suit individual schedules, anywhere in the world or via my courses.

Although Toon Boom Harmony is my main training focus, I am also a well-versed animator and trainer in Adobe Animate. I love to teach people my methods of working on TV shows with these software packages, with a strong emphasis on making the courses fun, memorable and packed with great character animation!
