Information about the next important step in your educational journey
Overview

Getting Started

Choosing the right program at CG Spectrum starts with understanding your career goals, learning style, and level of experience. A clear vision of your desired career outcomes—whether animation, VFX, game design, or concept art—helps in selecting the right path.

Accredited courses provide formal qualifications, while career tracks offer direct industry training, and short courses focus on skill-building.

Portfolio requirements vary, so it's important to assess your current skill level. Time commitment and budget also play a role in ensuring a successful learning experience. Taking these factors into account will help you make the best choice for your future.

We're here to assist you at every stage of your learning journey, including the application process. Before applying, it's helpful if you can answer the following questions:

Questions to Ask Yourself Before Applying

  1. What type of course best suits my goals? Do I want a formal qualification, such as a CG Spectrum Institute accredited Degree or Diploma, or a shorter industry certificate course lasting up to twelve months?

  2. What area do I want to specialize in? Choosing a discipline like VFX, animation, concept art, or game design will shape my career path. 

  3. Am I aware of the associated fees? Understanding tuition costs and available financial aid is essential for planning my education.

  4. What is my preferred method of study? Depending on my course, I may need to decide between full-time or part-time study, and whether I prefer learning in a small group or private mentorship setting.

"Hands down the best decision I've made for my career.

The learning material and staff were great, and having an industry mentor was an invaluable asset that really helped me get my break in the VFX industry."

"My experience at CG Spectrum was second to none, and taught me so much more than I initially anticipated.

My mentor took me from being barely computer literate to an animator working at a studio in only a year and a half. The information and level of teaching at CG Spectrum will absolutely not be found anywhere else."

"The CG Spectrum training solidified my skills using Unreal Engine.

Having used it briefly before, and feeling overwhelmed by how big the range is of what you can do using the engine, the training taught me the areas I would need for virtual production very well. I now feel confident with the skills I have gained."

"I have never experienced such an explosive evolution in my art since attending CG Spectrum.

I have learnt an incredible amount, not only from my amazing mentor Eric Wilkerson but from the entire CGS community. Being part of such an amazing program has opened my eyes to techniques that have streamlined my process and increased my confidence tenfold."

"CG Spectrum seemed too good to be true. Looking back, it was the best decision.

Every mentor and staff member has been so hands-on and directly involved in my learning. Co-Directors of top box office movies and supervisors of major Netflix TV shows are giving me feedback on my projects. Students also have access to a strong community, and an awesome career class to prepare you for your dream job."
