about the course
What to Expect from the Courses?
You'll gain fundamental knowledge and practical skills in animation that are essential for becoming a professional and working in the industry. Upon completion, you'll have a demo reel showcasing your skills to potential employers.
How Are the Lessons Structured?
It’s straightforward: first, you get the theory, then you practice. Each lesson comes with video instructions, visual examples, and assignments that you complete at your own pace — just make sure to submit your work on time to receive feedback from the instructor! The course is available in a convenient format, so you can study from anywhere in the world, using just your tablet or computer.
What time do classes take place?
The schedule is determined closer to the start of the courses. Classes usually begin no earlier than 17:00 UTC, most often on weekdays. If you're unable to attend on certain days, you can always watch the recording.
If you're unsure whether your timezone is compatible for effective learning, please feel free to reach out to us on WhatsApp: https://wa.me/33749767306
At what age is it possible to take school courses?
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.
When do you need to pay for the course: in advance or wait until the start day?
A place on the course is reserved for you only if you pay for the first month of training or the entire course at once. The number of places in study groups is limited and is indicated on the course page. As a rule, there are few open places left closer to the start of the course; enrollment into the group also closes early due to the large number of applicants.
We also recommend our students to make payments in advance to avoid unpleasant situations with the time required for the processing of the payment.
I paid, what should I do next?
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).
