About this course:
There's a huge gap between a person having an idea for an animated film or project and then actually having the skills to be able to execute that idea! Similarly the idea of going to college to get a degree in animation may be far removed from that applicant's ability to be accepted by a college - or even that the college selected may not provide all the skill-sets the industry will require anyway!
The 'Foundational Certificate in Animation' has been created to provide essential core training for anyone wanting to pursue a career or course of further education in animation. High schools are more and more cutting traditional art classes in the face of education cutbacks. Colleges often charge astronomical fees for courses that can quite often not deliver all the knowledge that a job applicant will need anyway. Similarly, existing professionals wishing to extend their knowledge and skill base are unable to do so due to conflicting schedules or rising course fees. This online 'Foundational Certificate in Animation' reflects all these needs and is therefore a great game changer!

Why art-based courses?
Today's animation world is extremely demanding and competitive. Now, just knowing digital software is not enough for many studios. So the more traditional art skills an applicant has under their belt the more chance they have of landing that all-important job or college acceptance! Indie artists and animators face the same challenges too.
