CG Masters not just a school, it is a working commercial studio that trains. Just imagine spending each day with world-class industry professionals who are working on today’s big blockbusters. CG Masters is the world’s only school to offer industry-designed, production studio based, visual effects and 3D animation job-skills training instead of the old academic process of tests and grades. Our faculty, all industry masters, teach far more than just how to use software.
We teach how the job is done; how to work within a real studio production team environment to create world-class, film-quality images and animations, and we do it in a completely unique way. We focus on your job skills with daily practical skill assessments instead of theoretical grades at the end of term when it’s too late. Drop us a line or chat with our current students or graduates to find out if CG Masters is right for you. If you’re as serious about getting into industry as we are about training the next generation of artists and TDs, you might want to check us out.

Industry & Graduate Testimonials
“I have had the pleasure of working with Nicholas on multiple commercial and feature projects spanning more than a decade. He is insightful, communicative, creative, and a true professional delivering excellence in both his own work and his teams. I look forward to our next project together.”
Dale Fay, VFX Supervisor – Zoic Studios
Worked for the same company as Nick for three and a half years, and every time I had the opportunity to work directly under him on a project, it was a fantastic experience. All projects were handled professionally and the end results were never without a great deal of highly positive feedback from the director(s) involved. He is an extremely knowledgeable, diligent, efficient, and talented artist with an eye for perfection. He goes out of his way to make sure those working under him are taken care of and relaxed; thus enabling them to work to the best of their individual abilities.
Luke Vallee, Senior Compositor
