“I have taken several classes with headTrix in the past year and plan on taking some more. They are really great at what they do- they're patient and very knowledgeable. I have taken both private classes at my home office and group classes in Santa Monica. Both offer different experiences - but both are as informative. They keep their group classes very small so you still get the proper attention from thier knowledgeable Instructors. They have a good syllabus in place and answer all types of questions you may have (patiently). The private classes are ideal for me because I'm busy and I want a more personalized type of training where I can skip several tricks I already aknow and jump ahead to tools that are useful to my work/industry. Both Mark and Nate are attentive, knowledgeable, nice, friendly, and patient. I have taken many different classes in LA and they're the best so far because they make the 6 hour class go by fast with their fun projects, efficient workflow, and teaching techniques.”

I loved it and can't wait to take level 2!”
- Kimberly W., Helias
-------------------------------------------------------
“This class(Social Media Marketing) was amazing, informative and entertaining. Not only did the class provide all the insights in the how-to's of social media, Steven also approached it from a business consulting angle. Steven provides ideas regarding content, sourcing of content, possible marketing activities, the difference in purpose of all platforms and tailored the information towards the industry we are in. The outline of short-term and long-term goals with activities linked to measurable results allows us to operate with a level of accountability that we would never have had if we would not have worked with Steven.
I highly recommend the class to anybody who wants to get the most out of social
media both on a personal and professional level.”

His eye for detail and creative expertise are essential for my needs and he was able to impart this information to me effortlessly. I highly recommend Headtrix and Mark as an instructor.”
- Laurelle B., HTS

“Mark and headTrix Training moved me up the learning curve. I learned(SEO) in 4 hours what would have taken me months if not a year to learn on my own.

I will be back for more courses in different areas soon! A+”

“I took an amazing Social Media 101 course at headTrix located in the heart of Santa Monica on Main street. The course was everything I wanted and more!
I learned the how to utilize social media for my business on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube platforms. Because of this course, my business doubled in sales. The course was small so that each student could really excel. I was able to ask the teacher individualized questions and he was able to answer them thoroughly - it felt like a private training session! I recommend this social media course for all of you who want to take your business to the next level.”

“My headTrix training really was excellent.
David was obviously expert with Framemaker, as well
as InDesign (which is what we currently use). It was helpful that he
was so familiar with both programs because he seemed to understand my
mindset. He was also very accommodating in addressing some of my specific
concerns with regard to our Company's publications, but
without deviating significantly from our itinerary.
My concerns about live online training were alleviated after just a few hours. I
realized that watching and listening to a seasoned-user was as valuable as a
classroom experience.”

“Took Photoshop and Dreamweaver courses. Had previously tried to learn Photoshop on my own but became very frustrated with it. I signed up for the Photoshop course and the owner/instructor (Mark) did a great job of teaching me how to use the software. While I am still far from being an expert, the skills I learned in the class have allowed me to do things at work which I previously would have had to hire someone else to do. I enjoyed the class so much that I also took Dreamweaver as an introduction to designing websites which is something that also is of interest to me but never thought I could do on my own. Both classes are highly recommended for those who are interested in photo editing and web design.”

That is something we were not able to do with the previous instructor. Thank you very much and I hope we are able to take more classes with you.”

“I was just reflecting on the class that i took recently with Mark. The class was Beginners ActionScript 3.0. I didn't really know how it was possible to learn that much of this programming language in 3 days. The great thing about this particular class and this particular teacher, is that he didn't bang through all of the material, just for the sake of covering everything- He taught us how to learn this stuff.. Mark has an amazing knack for making something that sounds so confusing in a book, make sense. Now, a couple months after the class, as i go through my ActionScript 3.0 books- i actually understand WHY i am entering the code that i'm entering.. In simple terms- Mark is a great teacher who can teach you HOW to learn this stuff! i'm very glad i had the opportunity to learn from him.
Thank you!”

“Thanks again for a great class this week,
You are an excellent instructor, too bad this week the classes went by too fast!
I'd really love to take your course in Flash ”
“I just want to let you know that the Dreamweaver training I had this week was great!
Mark Itskowitch was great and I wish the other instructors would have his method of teaching. About a month ago I had Flash training and the instructor went straight from the book, paragraph by paragraph, and I did not learn quite as much as I would've, if he taught utilizing Mark's method. Mark went by the book, but added explanations to what the book had., in class the instructor explanations are much needed and are extremely helpful and the book is used as an added resource.
Truth be told, after the Flash class I was looking for another place to take the Dreamweaver course, but the
City had already paid for it and it was going to be too much trouble to change, but after being in Mark's class, I am glad I didn't change it.
I would very much like to re-take the Flash course if Mark would be the one teaching it. Is there any possibility he can teach the course within the next weeks or months?”
Thank you for your attention to this matter,

I just wanted to say thanks for everything you ever taught me.
Looking back that’s quite a bit. Photoshop Levels 1 and 2 and Flash Levels 1 and 2.
Tonight I will sit in class again at UCSD however it will be my last class and
I will complete my certificate in multimedia development.
Thanks for everything.”
