Student Testimonials

"I honestly couldn’t have had a better experience with the classes."

I got an hour each week of dedicated one on one time with the mentor. He would give me critiques and paint overs of my work. The paint overs from a professional are the biggest benefit in my opinion.

Not only are the classes immensely helpful, the staff are quick to answer emails and they even went out of their way to send my certificates to colleges here in the USA, which helped me get accepted to some of the top art schools on the east coast.

"If you’re looking to make a jump into the creative industry, I could not recommend this more!"

A bit skeptical at first. Looking through the website, CG Spectrum seemed like it was too good to be true. After biting the bullet and signing up for the 3D Modeling course, looking back, it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

I was switching from a career in healthcare to 3D Modeling and was full of anxiety and nerves. Ever since I started, every single mentor, staff member, and even the COO have 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 direct, detailed, video feedback on my projects. In tandem with the robust courses offered and supreme network of high-level industry professionals, CG Spectrum students also have access to a database of learning resources, strong community of like-minded students, and an awesome career development class to prepare you for your dream job. As a student, it has surpassed my expectations.

"I have found a greater confidence in my own work & as an artist."

I studied Introduction to Concept Art & Illustration, and it was fantastic. I have studied graphic design and digital media in the past but I wanted a refresh on illustration in a digital way. CG Spectrum was amazing! My mentor Brian was great! A good man with real care for his students. I couldn't be happier with my time at CG Spectrum. I am looking to continue my studies with them.

"The course material covers a lot in a shorter time frame."

I was really happy with the constructive feedback given to me by my mentor for a 1-on-1 Introduction to 3D Modeling program. The industry tips and workflows recommended helped me get a more robust understanding of workflow fundamentals. I'd recommend CG Spectrum for the calibre of training.

"I've learned so much about not only animation, but the thought process an artist goes through when creating a piece."

It's definitely been extremely helpful for my portfolio and my confidence as an artist!"

"Results of this course exceeded my expectations."

Eric Wilkerson is by far my favorite art teacher. He is patient, super duper helpful and encouraging. I had some self discipline problems with drawing and painting but when I started Introduction to Concept Art & Illustration course with Eric, he immediately set me on a right path and I started drawing and learning every single day.

He was always available if I had any questions or problems with my assignments. His easy-going style and constant smile never made me feel bad when I made mistakes - on contrary it motivated me even more to work and learn on those mistakes.

"I learned things I don't think I could have in a normal college setting."

"Absolutely amazing school! I recommend doing this for complete newbs like I was who want to become Animators. Mark Pullyblank was an amazing, kind, and helpful mentor who made sure I always knew what I was doing. He's probably one of the most dedicated professors I know and he made sure he went over everything thoroughly with me and was quick to answer my questions. I would recommend him to anybody who wants to learn 3D Animation. The online assistant Amanda was super helpful as well whenever I had any complications. Definitely 10/10."

"I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience at CG Spectrum."

"I recently finished the 'Introduction to 3D Modeling' course. I went in with about a year’s worth of other online 3D Modeling courses but none compared to CG Spectrum. I have learnt so much from this course, and I had an amazing mentor (Anton Tenitsky) who pushed me to perfection on all the models I made while taking the course. It was the best decision I made in order to pursue my end goal. I took the next step and enrolled in the Advanced Diploma and I have nothing but good expectations of the outcomes of that course once it starts!"

"CG Spectrum was 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."

"Exceeded all my expectations!"

"Eric Wilkerson is truly an excellent mentor"

"It is a pleasure to be in his class. Firstly, he is so knowledgeable and his tutorials are packed with valuable information. Secondly, he is very patient and always takes time to find the best solution for problems his students encounter. On top of that, he is an AMAZING artist!”

“Loving every minute of it."

"As an aspiring Concept Artist, it's been amazing to have an industry professional as a mentor. Brandon Reimchen, my mentor, has not only been able to teach me new skills and techniques in regards to my art but also how to apply my craft in a client based situation.

Having one on one feedback has been so helpful, for example submitting in a concept and receiving back a paint over and a 30 minute video of well thought out and detailed constructive feedback. I've learned so much in these past 6 months and have also gained much more motivation to work hard for my dream job.”

"The amount of one-on-one is second to none."

"My time with CG Spectrum has been an invaluable learning experience. Having never done an online course, I didn’t expect to receive the level of personalised learning and quality teaching that I have experienced so far. The techniques that I have been taught have not only improved my animation skills by leaps and bounds, but they have also taught me to be a better storyteller through animation.

Aside from the skills I’ve learned, I have also gained a great amount of insight into the industry which will definitely aid in my career as an animator. If you’re looking to enhance your specialist skills to an industry level, CG Spectrum is the place to be.”
