Are you an accredited school?

We've chosen not to seek any official accreditation because, frankly, we know Character Arts better than anyone else in the world.

With us, you won't be learning from professional teachers. Instead, you'll be learning from leading creative professionals, including Academy Award winners, top designers, artists, and technical wizards who work on the front lines of creature creation and Hollywood special effects every single day.

An important thing to keep in mind about the FX industry is that accreditation and certificates of coursework do not necessarily help you get a job. Most shops and department heads hire based on references and the quality of your portfolio of work.

We aim to help all our students increase their skills so they can showcase exemplary work in their portfolios and find employment doing what they love!
