I don’t really like to draw and am not good at it. Do I have to be able to draw to take this course?

Drawing is not a requirement but it is highly recommended that you like to draw or are interested in learning to draw. A certain level of drawing and 2D artistic expression is essential to your success in this program and this industry.

What supplies do I need to have to take this course.

Depending on what campus you attend, you may want to have a hard drive to work with, which you will be able to save all of your work on. Upon enrollment, you should check with your campus to see if this would benefit you.

Will I learn 2D Animation as well as 3D Animation?

Yes, most of the first year of studies is heavily based on 2D animation and then shifts into doing 3D animation.

Will I have a portfolio at the end of my training? (that I can use to help me get a job)

Yes, it is a requirement. In order to graduate from the program, you must have a Demo Reel completed.
