Class Capacity and Time Table
We keep a relatively small class size at any given time so that each student receives all the attention required for maximum success.
We do start students off in groups so that everyone can have a shared experience. We encourage you to visit our Facebook account, post your work and offer critiques and support to each other. This is a common practice in brick and mortar animation programs.

Although you will have to deal with deadlines in the industry, for learning we don’t enforce hard deadlines. We understand that you may be working full or part time while training, and sometimes life situations arise. However, if we see that you have not submitted an assignment in a few weeks we will touch base to see how things are going.

If your training full time, the full 2D or 3D program should take approximately 10 months to complete. If your cross-training it should take approximately 20 months. Below is a breakdown of the expected time it should take if your are training full time. Everyone works at different speeds so this is just a general guideline.
