The schedule will be shared with you as the animation class begins, but rest assured, classes are typically held no earlier than 17:00 UTC, most often on weekdays. Life can be busy, and if you can’t attend a class on a certain day, that’s okay. You’ll always have the option to watch the recording at your convenience, so you never have to miss out on the learning experience

We accept students from the age of 16, since the course program is intensive and it will be difficult for a child to keep up and understand.
BUT, on an individual basis, we can accept students from 14 years of age on the course. At the same time, we consider the student’s work and potential.
To secure your place in the online animation course, simply pay for the first month or the entire course upfront. Because we limit the number of students in each group, it’s important to act quickly, especially as the start of the course approaches—there are usually only a few spots left as enrollment closes early due to high demand.
We also encourage you to make your payment in advance, giving you peace of mind and allowing enough time for processing. This way, you can focus on the exciting journey ahead without any last-minute stress.
You will be invited to the study group about a week before the start of the course, there will be the very basic information on the learning process, and the materials on the training platform will open on the start day. All links will be sent to you at the specified email address, however, it happens that they may end up in the “spam” or “promotion” sections, so we recommend checking these folders too).
During the week before the start of training, you will receive letters with preparation instructions.
First of all, you will need to install Discord - your study group will be there. Your supervisor or teacher in the study group, to which you will be added a week before the start, will provide you with information about the training programs.
In general, for classes you will need: a computer or laptop, a headset and a webcam (not required, but recommended).
Classes are held in Zoom, so you need to install it and the Discord messenger.
