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.

Jack

Rebellion Developments

Seeing the quality of other students in the course allowed me to see where I was at among a wider group, and also to see just how good other artists in my position are, to give me more drive to work harder.

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.

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

The price cannot be beat. In comparison to other online classes, CGMA is the best out there. And I made lots of great connections with not only my instructors but with other artists in different levels of learning from beginners to industry professionals.

Yuko

CGMA gave me good opportunities. For instance, recently I was able to get exposure due to CGMA helping me get my work published on 80Level. CGMA is a place to expand my possibilities.

CGMA allow me the opportunity to meet industry professionals and learn industry-standard techniques. It also helped me push my craft and portfolio to industry quality.

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.

Isabelle

Disney Television Animation

I took Storyboarding for Animation, and not only did I gain a greater knowledge of cinematic storytelling, I feel like I gained a better understanding of what professionals and studios look out for in a storyboard artist.

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.
