Centrum voor Afstandsonderwijs Review

Good customer service from the secretariat, clear business management course and always fast response with clear explanations from teacher Nick Van Boxel. Here a satisfied student. Thumbs up!

I followed the Graphic Design course with teacher Stefano Falco. The course went well for me, learning through a folder is sometimes a bit tricky because you can not ask questions to the teacher right away. Stefano does give extensive feedback via the mail. You always receive a long mail with all kinds of information and tips. The communication via e-mail is sometimes a little tricky, but you can expect that when you have an online course.

Best,
I am following the WebDesign training teacher (Stefano FALCO). This was the best decision in my life. In the beginning, I had some doubts about whether this one good idea was at a distance and via the online route. But this teacher who just makes you grow where you fall short. He sees it beyond a student who is a number, he looks at his students individually. The communication is very smooth and you should not be afraid to ask everything 1010 times. In that 3 month I already learned more about whether I was in Syntra for 1 year. Because you are at home you can also easily find your own way. You are going to convert his own Falco tip and you look up information yourself. Okay the price is not cheap to sit at the same time if you can put everything in a row. Then you realize that you can actually make school and learning very pleasant. Because in addition, I do internships ... How beautiful this is. Do you want to create content online and you are completely out of the world. Take lessons from Falco and you can really become a PRO in 123 MITS bets and MANY PRACTICES>

I achieved business management through distance learning. Thanks to Nick van Boxel (business management teacher) who assisted me with all the answers to my questions.

Cursus: Graphic design
Leerkracht: Falco Stefano

Ik ben zeer tevreden over de cursus Graphic Design. Ik heb persoonlijk gekozen om de cursus in het Engels te volgen, maar ik kan met mijn docent in het Nederlands communiceren. De cursus bestaat uit 3 onderdelen: -Photoshop - Indesign en Illustrator. De cursussen zijn zeer vlot en visueel uitgelegd. Ookal had ik al enige kennis van alle 3 de programma's, steeds leer ik bij ieder hoofdstuk heel veel bij.

De verplichte opdrachten zijn zeer leuk en creatief uitdagend. Bij het insturen van mijn taken krijg ik altijd, zonder uitzondering, na 3 dagen antwoord. Mijn docent geeft enkele kritiekpunten en adviezen, hoe ik mezelf kan verbeteren, waarop ik moet letten, etc. Geregeld krijg ik ook nog extra informatie van hem over het vakgebied: grafische vormgeving.

Als je interesse hebt in grafische vormgeving, vind ik deze 3-delige cursus een enorme aanrader.

Web design training: good quality training. My teacher, Stefano Falco, has a good dose of professional knowledge, gives extensive feedback and responds very quickly to all your questions. A must so.

Followed the Graphic Designer course in home study.
Super guidance from my teacher Stefano Falco who assessed each assignment in an objective and honest way. The course is also written very smoothly and instructively: you can get started right away.

Education: Graphic Design (Photoshop / Illustrator / Indesign)
Teacher: Stefano Falco

Good, extensive training from an expert teacher (also graphic designer as profession). Three parts that fit well and clearly. The teacher is competent and nice, but also critical. Well in a good way, so constructive criticism with the aim of getting better as a designer. Extra advantage: he is also active on Youtube and Instagram, where extra tips and explanations state what you actually have something to. Also contacted several times with the secretariat and that was positive. In short: recommended.

Very satisfied with the HTML5 / CSS3 training of teacher Stefano Falco. The course, written by the teacher himself, forms a good basis with explanations and exercises, packed with tips and recommendations that are clearly the result of very good expertise that you cannot just find on the internet on your own. You can go through the course and make exercises at your own pace. I found the opportunity to ask additional questions very useful. The teacher is very friendly and helpful in his answers (and also has an infectious hobby that has grown out of control;)).

Recently started with the web design course , with Stefano Falco as a teacher. Very clear, structured course, which makes studying at a distance in some way clear and easier. The first contact with my teacher Stefano was also pleasant, quick and easy. I also received extra good advice, practical and interesting tips. Top!

My training was canceled for the second time in a row!

Last year this course was postponed for a full year due to a lack of registrations. I then decided to wait a year to start this course in October this year.

This last-minute has now been postponed to January 2020. Poor communication and planning from the company itself.

Had a home study of this. The study was nothing more than copied leaves in a topper. Contacted that I was not satisfied with this and wanted to cancel the purchase, but did not give at home. A lot of money for a copied folder that they call study, it is better to get some books at the library, which is more useful.

Very satisfied with the Graphic Design training with Stefano Falco as a teacher. Despite the technical aspect of software learning, instructions are well explained textually so that remote learning is successful. The course material is structured logically and efficiently in the course. Feedback on assignments from Stefano are useful and comprehensive, critical but very constructive and friendly. The only work point is the quality of the course books. On some pages the ink didn't come through properly, and I initially expected color prints for the price, especially for a graphic education.

As a Graphic Designer student, I find the material very good and accessible. Everything is explained step by step so that even if you do not have any background in Graphic Design, you can certainly become one through this course. Big thumbs up for the teacher Stefano who is always ready to answer your questions and to guide you through this course in a positive way. Now it's the turn of InDesign and Illustrator, which I'm really looking forward to!

Ik volg de thuisopleiding "grafisch vormgever" met Stefano Falco als lesgever. De cursus is erg duidelijk. Ik kan bovendien altijd terecht bij de docent met al mijn vragen, hij beantwoordt ze meteen. Super!

Administrative clerk, Astrid Verhulst. What a super teacher! very good explanation for all questions she is open, just strict enough. I could not imagine a better teacher!

Very clear and comprehensive online course for card reading Lenormand. Also given by a professional teacher. Highly recommended for those who want to follow an extensive map reading course!

Zeker niet aan te bevelen !

De cursus Noors is ondermaats. Erger nog met een cursus met fouten . De begeleiding is problematisch.

Na vele telefoons , emails , bezoek aan de school, een niet afgehaald aangetekend schrijven... de helft van het cursusgeld terug gekregen.

Zoals ik nu zie is het nog steeds dezelfde docent voor de cursus Noors. Op mijn voorstel om de gebreken en fouten in de cursus te komen bespreken kreeg ik nooit enige reactie.

Ondergetekend een ontevreden student van de cursus Noors

Ik kocht een cursus Spaans waarvoor ik bijna 300 euro betaalde. In het eerste hoofdstuk (ik moet de rest nog doornemen, maar ik vrees het ergste) stonden twee fouten. Het ging niet om typfouten, maar om bv. een uitleg i.v.m. grammatica, waarbij de uitleg en het voorbeeld tegenovergesteld zijn aan elkaar.
In alle mails die het centrum zelf stuurde, stond er dat je bij problemen contact op kon nemen met info@centrumvoorafstandsonderwijs.be. Dus dit deed ik dan ook op 05/06. Omdat er na tien dagen nog geen antwoord was, nam ik telefonisch contact met hun op en plots bleek dat je met klachten naar een ander mailadres moet sturen, dat uiteraard nergens vermeld staat. Dit is duidelijk een manier om te vermijden dat ze klachten binnen krijgen. Ah ja als niemand het adres kan vinden, kunnen ze ook geen klachten ontvangen.
Ik stuurde dus de mail door naar het juiste adres en kreeg pas twee weken later, na opnieuw gebeld te hebben een duidelijk antoord; namelijk dat ze de fouten gingen corrigeren en dat de docente mij ging contacteren om de fouten uit te klaren, maar pas binnen een week, want nu is ze met vakantie. We zijn dus ondertussen bijna een maand verder en ik weet nog steeds niet hoe de vork aan de steel zit in de cursus.
Ik raad iedereen aan om een andere organisatie te zoeken wat betreft afstandsonderwijs, want dit is zijn geld echt niet waard!

Very good guidance from the teacher. Fast response to emails. (tips and info) Clear and correct. Helps you to make your dream come true. Definitely recommended.

I follow the web design course of teacher Stefano Falco. I am very pleased with this training. The course is very well structured and if there were any questions I could always go. At first a little doubt if home study was a good idea, but it was definitely worth it!

Oplichterij in de eerste klas.
Cursus gekocht en betaald.
Na ontvangst hulp nodig gehad van docent. Nooit een antwoord gekregen. Ook via de chatdienst van de school wordt je niet verder geholpen. Geld terug gevraagd en worden niet verder geholpen en na bijna 2 maanden nog steeds geen hulp of geld ontvangen. Deze ster is zelf nog te veel. Ik zou zeggen laat ze u niet in het zak steken!!!!!

I have been following the yoga teacher course since January 2019. As a 52 year old I wanted to give my life a complete turn, also due to chronic stress and others. Iris van den Bulcke is my yoga supervisor and her 350-page course is very interesting, focused and every time I am curious about the next chapter. I already read a lot of books and magazines about yoga, I also practice it regularly for 12 years but through the course I have become a yogini, and I am proud of that !!! Iris, you have changed my life !!!

I followed the administrative clerk course. This was a great success. This through my own commitment, but also largely through the very clear course. The course shows itself. I got support from the teacher Astrid Verhulst. When I sent her a message I always got a clear answer quickly. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to learn a trade.

Niks dan slechte ervaringen mee! Ze zien er professioneel uit, maar ze zijn het zeker niet.
1) Ik heb een thuisstudie bij hen gevolgd. Een cursus van 350 pagina's die vol fouten stond. Op den duur begon ik aan alle informatie te twijfelen en het voor de zekerheid maar op te zoeken. Heel veel uurtjes op internet doorgebracht om mijn cursus zelf te verbeteren. Om de paar pagina's bleken er dingen te staan die niet klopten. En daar betaal je dan zoveel geld voor!

3) Idem voor de cursus vlogger. Ingeschreven, cursus geannuleerd, geld niet terug gezien.
Ik ben er niet over te spreken! Moesten 0 sterren een optie zijn, dan hadden ze dat gekregen, want het is niks waard.

Good course, nicely structured and clear. If you do the assignments carefully, you have a clear picture of what yoga entails. Even the exam was well done: theoretical and practical part. The questions of the theoretical part were arranged in such a way that you had to have studied the entire course well.
The teacher answers within a correct period and has knowledge of the facts. Recommended!

I have already taken several courses at the Center for Distance Learning, namely the training 'graphic designer' and 'web design' under the supervision of teacher Stefano Falco. Both are fun and interesting courses. The subject matter is clearly explained. You can study at your own pace. I am also very satisfied with the guidance of the teacher.

Web Design training - HTML5 & CSS3
Great course, very well structured and easy to follow. The teacher Stefano Falco provided highly professional guidance and very valuable feedback. I highly recommend this course!

I, Natacha, have started a basic digital photography study. At module 1, the basis I was supervised by teacher Roels frank. I'm very satisfied. I have learned a lot. He improved my assignments and exam very quickly. So I could go through the course quickly. He clarified certain topics if I misunderstood them. I am happy that I have opted for distance learning!

Geldklopperij eerste klas !
1 ster is zelfs nog te veel

What a sad company. After 3 months no response to email yet, not available by phone.

I am following the course graphic designer, this course I get from Stefano Falco.
I have already completed the Photoshop module and this is a must for the beginner or even for people with experience. Do you have a question? Stefano will be happy to give you an extensive answer.

Unfortunately, this distance learning center is far from professional and I cannot recommend taking a course here. The student platform that is used is very outdated and not user-friendly. The teacher responds only once a week to tasks that have been submitted and the course material is of disappointing quality. You can find better material on the internet and then take your exams yourself at the central examination committee and save hundreds of euros. Hopefully they will do something about it soon, because otherwise this educational platform will just throw sand in the eyes of people.

Mediation (mediation) - a course to be recommended to everyone - very well structured - clear and clear.
Tino Delie is a very good mentor and is always at your disposal, with advice and help.

Cursus: Thuisstudie HTML5 & CSS3 -Webdesign Basis-
Docent: Stefano FALCO

Deze basiscursus heeft een lage instapdrempel. Je kan hem volgen zonder specifieke voorkennis, en toch kan je na afloop een prachtige website bouwen.

De docent heeft veel beroepservaring en stelt die ervaring ook ter beschikking in zijn uitvoerige constructieve feedback op de ingeleverde werken waardoor deze beter worden. Feedback wordt snel geleverd.

Deze basiscursus bevat veel links naar relevante info zodat verdieping mogelijk is voor de student. Voor het technische aspect (html en css code) is de verhouding tussen basisleerstof in de cursus (318 pagina s) en bijkomende info via links best OK, hoewel opgelet dient te worden voor een overdosis aan links.

Voor het aspect design (layout, compositie, kleur, textuur, typografie, beelden) wordt verwezen naar een electronisch boekwerk. Op zich een schitterend en relevant boek. Voor mij persoonlijk echter waren de lektuur van deze bijkomende 189 pagina s een zware opdracht. Ikzelf zou er baat bij hebben gevonden indien de cursus zelf een paar basisaspecten van design beknopt zou introduceren.

Er zijn drie verplichte oefeningen. Ik heb van alle 3 genoten. Maar natuurlijk is de vrijheid van oefening 3, waarin je een eigen website dient te bouwen, fantastisch.

Dankzij Stefano Falco ben ik er in geslaagd om een website te maken ter herinnering aan mijn vader, de kunstenaar Lowie Peeters. Daarmee is tegemoet gekomen aan een wens van vele van zijn familieleden en vrienden en daarvoor wil ik Stefano speciaal bedanken.

If there were 0 stars, I would have given 0! 5/6/2020 I took exams at 2 pm online. The exams are 10 could have arrived too late, all in PDF, where I had to copy everything back to do my accounting, otherwise that was simply impossible! Lost 55min with it, and can't finish my exams in 3h. Today 15/07/2020 I still have not received my results, when you call the education, they answer me or I don't know anything about it, or you are already calling again, or by the week you will have your results THAT SO THEN NEVER ARRIVE! TOMORROW I'll GO TO MY LAWYER AND PULL YOU ON THE COURT FOR FRAUD! ON MY PERSONAL PAGE it still says that I have to take exams, if that is already done! I'm tired of you playing with my feet !!! PEOPLE DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOL, THEY ARE NOT SERIOUS AND THEY PLAY WITH YOUR FEET!

I decided to do an online course about Graphic Design because I didn't have the time for full-time studies and it was the best decision to do it with Coursle Centre for Distance Learning! You can work whenever you want and most importantly at your own pace. The course covers everything you need to know about the three most important programs for Graphic Design; Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator. You receive a printed version of the course book delivered to your home; it is well set up and very comprehensive. On top of that my teacher for this course, Stefano FALCO was always happy to help me with my various questions and the problems I encountered. His feedback on the different mandatory assignment was very helpful and rewarding; each time he took the time to explain in detail what I had done well and what could be improved. I definitely recommend singing up for this or one of the many other courses they offer. They handle everything in a very helpful and professional way.

As a home student graphic designer since the beginning of this year (2019) I want to give my review of what I have already learned so far and how I feel about the study flow, and I would say it is beautiful, not only do you your own students plataform that VAT quite simple and excellent ux. design features, you also contact your own teacher, my teacher's Stefano Falco for Graphic Designer is also very experiencing and you can see his way of tips and explanations in its course, definitely recommended! Clearly explained and expanded if it is positive or negative, are improving or not, which is very cool as a student course! I am very eager to learn more and I hope this review other geintereseerden motivates to get started!

I followed the training 'graphic designer' through distance learning
I am very satisfied with this
full courses, quick responses from the teacher and critical feedback
the bar was set high which got me ready for the real thing
no weak performance here

Pleasant communication with teacher and school making planning exams and getting feedback a fun experience. Teacher stefano Falco makes the graphic design course very smooth and professional.

@ Thierry Matthys - Immo Novus - docent Immocoach
Heel interessante lessen, absoluut niet saai en heel praktijkgericht... Antwoordt ook op alle vragen correct en eerlijk.
Kort samengevat : een uitstekend docent!!!!
Ingrid De Mulder

Fantastic business management course. Good explanation, concrete exercises. Top!

Pure scam!
You order a course of more than 300 euros with them, including follow-up of a teacher. Never received feedback from the teacher in question.
There would be plenty of documents online to help you study, I never saw anything of that!

I studied the English Graphic Design course from home and my teacher was Stefano Falco. I chose this course as I was able to balance it whilst working part time, therefore being able to earn money but study at my own pace from home!
The course came with 3 textbooks written by the teacher. They provided a helpful introduction to each program, helpful hints throughout and tips on how techniques/ practices are used in the real world and the books had assignments to complte throughout.
The books are structured and worded so that anyone with any level of experience with these programs can easily jump in and follow the course without issue!
And if you have an issue I found the online platform where you can communicate with your teacher very helpful! Stefano was always fast to reply and eager to help me if I ever had a problem or became stuck at a certain point. He took his time to explain certain things to me and help me better understand and evolve as a designer!
I've learned a lot from this course and i'm very happy I will always have the textbooks to refer back to if I ever need to brush up on a certain technique/ topic!
The assignments are interesting and varied, they really push you to use everything you have learned but they also leave room for if you're feeling confident to do more than what is asked!
Overall I would recommend this course to anyone wanting to delve further into graphic design whilst still needing to work/ wanting to study from home!

Education: Web design
Teacher: Stefano Falco

Had a great experience with the web design course, the teaching material is structured and the explanation by teacher Stefano Falco is easy to follow. After each mandatory assignment I received a quick response with extensive feedback.

They call it a home study, but all the information I got about my '' study '' I could already do and was not learning beyond what I have already learned, besides that they did not give any explanation with every explanation and they did everything briefly put away, so that I understand the explanation that I fortunately already knew. Returning money because you are not satisfied they do not, because you have received the '' study '' at home.
far away bad.

I followed the on-line career and outplacement coach course. This was supervised by Pascale Debeaune. I am very satisfied with the guidance. Pascale always responded quickly and to the point to questions I had. She was also willing to go through my most important questions via zoom. This course is highly recommended if you are looking for a basis for coaching.

The web design course is a very well structured, illustrated and above all clear manual. As if the teacher, Stefan Falco, can predict your next steps :) He will teach you the necessary tips and tricks. If you are enthusiastic, thanks to the mention of the necessary sources, you can delve further into the matter. When you contact the teacher, you will receive an asap answer and helpful feedback. I am enthusiastic and have already registered for the follow-up course "Graphic design".

Administrative Clerk - TADMBED
Thank you Mrs. Astrid Verhulst, I could always contact you with all my questions and / or comments while studying.

The teachers are qualitative but beware because these people are sharks! They never sent me the courses I was entitled to. Scammers!
They sold me an all-round nutrition consultant training that would eventually consist of only 2 of the 4 modules.
Despite written proof of the concluded agreement, all communication with me has been stopped.
An answer to an email is not possible! No, on the contrary, stalking to follow extra training is possible. They never sent me the courses I was entitled to. Don't get caught in this school!

Begin dit jaar heb ik mij ingeschreven bij CVA. Mij inloggen op hun platform lukte niet onmiddellijk door een probleempje. Ik heb hen gecontacteerd via de online chat en ze hebben dit probleem onmiddellijk aangepakt! Op vlak van service heb ik geen klachten.

Mij uiteindelijk ingeschreven voor de cursus Grafische vormgeving met als docent Stefano Falco. En ik heb er nog geen seconde spijt van.
De cursussen zijn heel duidelijk opgesteld, makkelijk te volgen en boeiende leerstof.

Bij het doorsturen van vragen of tussentijdse opdrachten, moet je 1-2 dagen wachten op feedback, wat ik op zich niet erg vind. Je kan ondertussen gewoon rustig verder doen. Je krijgt ook altijd heel duidelijk en uitgebreide feedback terug van Stefano.

Ook het online platform waar je je op moet inloggen als student, waar je toegang krijgt tot alle documenten en via deze weg ook naar je docent kan mailen is heel basic en makkelijk te verstaan.

PHOTOSHOP COURSE - TEACHER: STEFANO FALCO

The photoshop course is an absolute winner. The training is well substantiated both practically and theoretically. The teacher also gives many tips & tricks to help you further in the practical field. Anyone looking for a thorough knowledge of Photoshop and want to use it in later life is at the right place. Hat off!

I do not recommend this to anyone. Very amateurish. In the eight months that I purchased my course, I still have not received a response to my teacher's request. I have decided that I will not take the exam. Their certificate is not worth much when I read the reviews, so I prefer not to.

Bought home fitness instructor course. Shameless copy paste from Wikipedia and many other untrustworthy sources. Outdated information, clerical errors, ... utterly useless. Repeatedly asked for money back, in vain ..

contrary to what they say, their diplomas are worth nothing. A lot of money for which you get nothing useful in return. The course itself was not an original but a copy!

Graphic Designer Course (from Stefano Falco)
Update: After completing the entire course (from PS, AI and Id), I can say that the 5 stars are definitely well deserved. I was amazed at the progress I've made from start to finish of the courses. The career switch is no longer a question, but a must. Stefano Falco's extensive guidance is 1 out of 1000. He goes to the smallest details to tell you how to improve yourself and you also get more if enough references to enrich your knowledge. If you are interested in graphic design, I would look no further and register for sure, because I regretted it for a second :).

I am now more than 200 pages far in the Photoshop course of Stefano Falco and so far I find everything very clearly explained. There are screenshots at almost every step and every button is mentioned in detail so that you can always follow the lessons. It is a big career switch for me, from lab technician to graphic designer, but because of this course I think it is certainly possible :) The teacher is also very accessible for questions and gives clear feedback on things you can improve. So 5 stars well deserved :)

I am very satisfied with the guidance of teacher Anna Berends during my training as a dental assistant! No question is too much for her, she also answers emails quickly and provides additional information or links if necessary, so that I always received a comprehensive and illuminating answer to my questions.

Ik volg de Graphic Design Training in het Engels en ik ben tot nu toe zeer tevreden, de cursus is zelfs voor mij een uitdaging met ACE-certificering in Photoshop, maar het cursusboek die lang, uitgebreid en boeiend is, in combinatie met de deskundigheid en het snelle antwoord van Stefano Falco ( de leraar), zowel in berichten als in de ondersteunende films op YouTube, zorgen voor een plezierige leerervaring.
De opdrachten voelen zorgvuldig samengevoegd als een samenkomen van de lessenstof.
Verder is de cursus in het Engels en dat geeft mij een voordeel om met Adobe Exams de volgende stap te zetten.
A. Pereira

Low quality of the course material. The supervisor of the course also appeared to have resigned a long time ago, without the center indicating this or appointing a new supervisor. I applied to take the exam weeks in advance, after which I received an email half an hour before the exam was due to start confirming that this date was correct for them, so late that it was physically impossible to to go.

Good guidance from lecturer (graphic design course, teacher Stefano Falco) and understandable, sufficient help when needed. And most important issues are repeated several times in the course . Downside: when your year is up and your mandatory assignments have not yet all been forwarded, you are obliged to extend ... I do 'long' about it by a double wrist fracture, so loss of time and can not 'recover'. (Mandatory assignments count towards the final mark).

Training Photoshop (teacher: Stefano Falco)

I followed the Photoshop home course, written by Stefano Falco. The course was very clearly written and well structured. Based on various assignments, I quickly mastered the various techniques. You also get a large amount of free images to practice with.

The course is definitely recommended for anyone who wants to learn how to work with Photoshop!
