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.

I have gotten so much useful information during my CGMA classes which has helped me to improve my skills and achieve better results in my career.

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!

With leaders in the industry, masterclass lectures, and a safe place to learn, CGMA thoroughly taught me cutting-edge software, theory and techniques that are currently being utilized in various AAA studios around the world.

Ivan

My CGMA experience gave me the confidence I needed to tackle more complicated perspective-heavy challenges.

Tomer

MPC Vancouver

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.

Stefano

Titmouse INC.

What made the difference to me was the opportunity to talk each week with top-level teachers and learn directly from their experiences. The weekly lectures allowed me to work and study at the same time to get the job I always wanted.

Hector

CGMA helps me to improve my facial rigging skills and inspire myself to work hard and achieve my goals like my instructor Wade Ryer.

Carlos

Electronic Arts - Dice

CGMA is an excellent and affordable option for aspiring artists and professionals who want to build upon their skills. I took advantage of many classes during my Master studies at the University of Hertfordshire in order to develop my Master Thesis.

Bal'zs

I think the 1-on-1 connection with industry professional teachers is one of the best aspects of your courses. I got really useful tips and tricks not just regarding my work but also how to apply to a job or how to present my portfolio.
