Think outside the classroom
The demand for professional visual effects in games, VR, AR, and film is growing exponentially, and we simply don't have enough artists to get everything done.
So how do you train an artistic army to create digital magic for games and film? You start by redesigning the classroom.
In classic art schools, apprentices honed their skills alongside master craftsmen. VFX Apprentice harnesses the power of that model, delivering professional visual effects training across the globe, on-demand and entirely at your pace!
Our education model is simple: We want to rapidly level-up your skills without wasting time. That's why each course in my training library is built by professional artists, full of top-tier assets, and fueled by a peer network committed to helping you succeed!

"I truly wish this website existed when I first started VFXs, haha! ... It's chock-full of industry-defining resources and tutorials covering a vast diversity of subjects. And maybe even more importantly: it covers different engines and softwares. From concepting to in-engine implementations, those courses have it all, and it is all of the highest quality."
