As a freelancer and creatively active part-time, I became aware of the tutkit.com and the concept of its creative flat rate inspired me from the first moment.
The claim of the operator that this is the largest German-language point of contact for graphics/photo & web-interested people on the Internet is probably not too high. This quickly becomes clear by the sheer abundance of tutorials and high -quality training within the member area.
It can also be seen quickly that the operators are anything but newcomers on the market, but have gained experience over many years of experience and then let them flow into this still relatively young platform. The impressive amount and variety of high-class training tutorials cannot be explained differently.
One seems to have asked yourself intensively here how, where and when people prefer to learn today and have put together an offer package that comes at a amazingly affordable price. The result is an important contribution to one of the great megatrends of our time- e-learning .
On the largest e-learning portal for graphics, web and photo editing in German-speaking countries, you can experience creative and complex inspiration, further development and quick knowledge gain with thousands of tutorials and video training.
Learning and applying is combined by a conclusive and consistent way by providing them with the training units, presets and numerous other working materials.
The offer is rounded off by an independent success control in the form of a quiz system and certificates .
These knowledge I got very quickly and you can almost say that I have been looking for such a platform for a while that saves me the purchase of expensive video tutorials at an unique price and which I was able to fall back on whenever needed for additional know-how in my everyday life as a freelancer .
As a reader, I would like to take you a little on my trip from the start and share my first steps, experiences and results on tutkit.com with you. So let's start at the very beginning ...
Registration and registration
It could hardly be easier! In just a few seconds I had successfully and free of charge with user names, email address and a self-selected password.
In the confirmation email, I received a few introductory words from the operator as a short video, who have already agreed on the upcoming learning experiences on tutkit.com . You can also find that the creative flat rate is closely linked to the e-learning community of PSD-tutorials.de . It can be networked with more than 380,000 registered members.
In addition, thousands of tutorials and video training as well as countless downloads are available for the creative workflow. About 7,000 tutorials & 12,000 downloads for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, Cinema 4D, WebDesign & Photography . An impressive abundance of materials, I think. A rather active forum is also available for questions and problems.
But back to tutkit.com. After a confirmation click on the included link, the registration has been completed and I can now log into the member area.
Profile and settings
As a first step, I went to my profile and user account area to complete my profile data and adapt the settings according to my preferences.
I chose the settings for my user account so that tutorials in the form of a slideshow are displayed on the overview page. I also wanted to have clearly displayed my occupied training and favorites as well as received personalized recommendations.

Finally, the currently active membership and their conditions can be displayed in the user account as well as a history of the invoices received.
The training area
The central point of contact, which also represents a kind of dashboard for the members, is the homepage within the member area.
Home and overview
Here you will find the slideshow with highlights and innovations, the currently occupied training tutorials and favorites, a top selection with personalized recommendations and, last but not least, the training catalog with all video training , tutorials and templates.
The training catalog is shown in the form of tiles, which quickly offers a first insight into the respective training, without having to click on it all the time.
Training catalog
The catalog content can be filtered according to individual categories via the menu above. If you want to search for a special training, then you take the search box at the top of the page. Matching suggestions are shown when typing by car.
In addition, the search results are logically pre-sorted into the areas of "total content" , "video tutorials" , "text tutorials" and "templates & presets" . This makes finding the desired content much easier. Overall, you can find your way around the training area very quickly.
My first video tutorial
To start the training world of tutkit.com, I decided on a topic that is already a bit familiar to me. This may make it easier for me to assess the quality of the training units, since I have a comparison in the past.
So my choice fell on the video training "Photoshop for beginners & promoted""Graphic Design" category .
The overview
Video training Photoshop for beginners & promoters
In the screenshot shown, you can see very nicely that in the course overview you have all the relevant information about this training at a glance. At the top left you will find the course picture in the form of a cover, as you would also expect on a conventional book cover.
This creates a recognition value when you flip through the course catalog again and you can already see on the cover alone what the course has to offer. In the middle section you can find out the content and the goals of the course in a summary. In my case of the Photoshop course, the content is summarized as follows:
Photoshop for beginners: 46 lessons in a 5.5-hour video tutorial by Gabor Richter
Give yourself overview: menus and functions that are important for your entry
Understand the principle of levels and masks, get to know all the tools and filters relevant to you
Including: 35 exercise files for participating and practical learning
On the right you will finally find a number of other information in a sidebar, including the number of videos available, chapters, the length of all videos in hours, your own progress within this course as well as a link to further detailed information and similar content.
This leads to the ratings that this course has already received from participants in the form of reviews. The satisfaction of former participants can be seen and thus conclusions about the quality of the course. We already know this rating system with a maximum of 5 stars from Amazon and Co. With one click, the individual reviews can be opened in a light box.
The content can then be downloaded via the two buttons below (depending on the rights of the selected membership) and switched directly to the "Quiz & Certificate" area in order to carry out a success control.
The training sessions
In the first video, the author of the course introduces himself briefly and also explains his motivation for the creation of this course and describes his experience with the graphic editing program.
"Download work files" button is a real work easier when completing the individual price videos . This allows the necessary files to process the unit with just one click and you don't have to search for it for a long time in the menu or anywhere else on the Internet. This significantly improves the training flow.
Another nice function for a liquid training course is that the next unit is automatically started after completing a video - without any loading times. In addition, the progress bar is adjusted in real time and completed units automatically marked with a green check mark. So you always keep an overview of the current state of affairs.
Any video of the course can also be selected via the view of the training modules below the current video. So you don't have to adhere to the specified order and you can also skip units if you want this.
Learning progress display
Overall, I am very impressed by the quality of the content as well as its preparation and presentation. The learning experience is fluid, easy and very pleasant. I would only like better management of my courses and favorites in the user account. That would be an extra that would further increase the benefit of the elearning platform.
The customer benefit
I now had the opportunity to use all functions and training sessions within a short period of time. This gave me deep insights into this platform, which I described here in summary.
In the end, however, I would like to go into tutkit.com customer benefit again in order to give you some information for your own decision. Is this platform the right choice for your needs and requirements? Let's take a look at the advantages:

6 concrete advantages of tutkit.com
Saving of money: An important advantage of a member -based platform like Tutkit.com is clearly the cost savings compared to the acquisition of video training on a single basis. As individual video courses, they have around 20-100 euros per course graphic design and web design At tutkit.com you only pay a fraction of it as a monthly contribution and have access to an almost infinite wealth of courses, presets and working materials.
Know-how at the push of a button: Especially in creative professions, a constant learning process and constant further training is essential. So a subscription makes absolutely sense. You have all courses available at any time without having to search for and buy them. All creative topics are brought together in one portal: image editing , web design , SEO , 3D , office, marketing ... whether you independently as a freelancer or as an employee of designer: more knowledge and skills undoubtedly lead to more income.
Practice orientation: Learning can be a dust -dry matter. We all know that. Here, however, great importance is placed on practical orientation and immediate feasibility, which not only makes learning extremely easier, but also makes it much more entertaining and exciting. The learned can be implemented during the training sessions, working materials, presets and templates can be downloaded directly and the results can be seen immediately. Learn how it should be!
Platform independence: No app, no special software, no DVD player or anything else. There is also no copy protection to use the content. You can easily access the content via desktop PC, tablet or mobile on the go-regardless of time and location.
Commercial use: What is quite unusual for a learning platform is the fact that all contained presets & design templates can also be used for your own commercial projects. This makes working with customers easier and is a real time saving. The professional templates ensure a thrust in terms of productivity.
Proof of success: In the form of quiz rounds, an effective success control of the learning can be carried out. The success can then be documented as certificates. These can be used as a reference in applications and set cards to improve the chances of a job or the surcharge for a specific project.
Conclusion
As a brief conclusion, I can state that Tutkit.com in the German-speaking market is probably unique with a mix of video training and suitable templates & extensions in a flat rate. Therefore, I can fully recommend this platform and will also use it intensively over the coming years to work on my own skills and to close knowledge gaps.
