I have recently completed the 3D Studio Max 101 course. The course was run by Ricardo. He was an excellent tutor well versed in using and teaching the software. The class room layout was fantastic. The tutor could be followed, as a monitor between each student relayed all the actions which Ricardo was doing in 3DS Max. If anyone had any problems, Ricardo was happy to help. The bonus about the course was that once the course was completed and you returned to the workplace, you could continue your learning or go over a process again by accessing Academy Class tutorial videos. Which is amazing. Definitely recommended.
