Mentorship from CGMA has set me on a professional path by their amazing mentors who teach industry standard workflows. Their guidance and feedback is golden. Special thanks to my mentor Adam Skutt.

Mary

Exceptional Minds VFX Studio

The advice and tips I got in how to build a great portfolio are invaluable. I completed my environmental design program in 2018 and am now an art director. The reason for my success is the portfolio and reel I was able to build up alongside learning skills and a work flow that are current.

Fernando

Counterplay Games

CGMA basically kick-started my career. Before taking courses with them, I was lost in regards to what I should be focusing on to get into this industry. The piece I created for my first class with CGMA actually helped me to get my first freelance!

Kalpana

Anibrain & Anibrain Interactive

I really enjoyed the course with Igor Staritsin as an instructor. My day-to-day work has benefited the most from the attention to detail & constructive feedback. I would recommend these courses to artists as they get to understand the VFX production pipeline followed worldwide.

Martin

CGMA helped me with how to work with references, in a way that I can not find anywhere else. Also, for the designing process, I learn from my instructors many new approaches, which are really beneficial.

CGMA provided me with intensive training and a platform to connect with others. The information and tools from my course could not be easily acquired anywhere else. At the end I had a complete project that served as a starting point for my demo reel.

Jess

Through studying at CGMA I was not only eligible to enter The Rookies, but my skills had improved so much that I won a studio internship, kick-starting my career in the VFX industry. Even after my studies have ended, I've still been able to contact my lecturers to ask their opinions and advice in progressing in my career as an artist; their support has been invaluable.
