Great Mentorship experience at CG Spectrum
I had an all-around wonderful experience at CG Spectrum! The TAs and Career Coaches were super helpful and kind, and my mentor was especially amazing. She really listened to my goals and aspirations, and provided professional guidance to help me achieve them. She worked with me thoroughly, ensuring that I made real progress in the areas I wanted to improve. This is an amazing community, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enhance their skills in something they’re passionate about. You’ll get guidance from a lot of talented, passionate, and supportive people.

Simply amazing
Enrolling into CG Spectrum was the best decision I could have made as an aspiring computer graphics artist. I've learned sooo much in such as short period of time.
I'm super satisfied with both the quality of program and the amazing, supportive mentors and fellow students. It's not just lessons, it's the community as well.
I first did a real-time 3d course and now I'm doing a Houdini class. I was so happy with the school that I just couldn't help but take another course haha.
My mentor Daniel is such a talented teacher and goes above and beyond to support my learning process.
Highly highly recommended!

"I want to express my appreciation for Hubert Lapointe, Todd Jacobsen, Scott Claus and My TA's
"I want to express my appreciation for the incredible experience I've had at CG Spectrum. The Mentors are exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate, which has significantly enhanced my learning journey. The curriculum is well-structured, offering a perfect blend of theory and practical application. The facilities and resources available to students are top-notch, creating an inspiring environment for creativity. However, I would suggest incorporating more workshops on contemporary art techniques to stay updated with the latest trends. Overall, my time here has been immensely rewarding, and I look forward to continuing my artistic growth with your guidance."

Best learning experience!
I just completed the intermediate compositing course and I have to say this is THE best learning I have experienced (compared to online tutorials as well as finishing a university degree back in the day). Just a having a supportive mentor with a genuine interest in your learning growth and development as well as the supportive slack community both with students, staff and other comp professionals looking at your work. I feel this journey that I experienced the past 12 months will give me an edge when I apply for jobs in the visual effects industry.

Excellent school that puts students first
Fantastic school with mentors who know what they’re teaching inside and out. My mentor was unfortunately unable to continue my lesson, so instead of leaving me to finish the workshop on my own, I was elected a new mentor and the entirety of my workshop was restarted. CG Spectrum really exceeds in putting their students first.

I am very grateful and thankful to have been a part of the “3D modeling foundations” course in CG Spectrum with a great mentor and great video materials to help me progress. I learned more than I had expected in this period of time and really recommend it to anyone who wants to reach a high and a professional level quickly. The courses are very flexible with their online program and schedules so that almost anyone can be a part of it. Thank you CG Spectrum for such amazing mentors and community.

The best course I've ever done!
I recently completed the Foundations Concept Art & Illustration course (9 months total), and I cannot recommend it enough. If you're considering doing any courses with CG Spectrum, I would highly encourage you to just go for it!
I had fairly high expectations going in as all the mentors have either previously been or are currently in the industry, and my expectations were greatly exceeded! I had such a lovely mentor (Fang Jing) who was available to answer any questions I had every day of the week, even though we were in completely different timezones. She was genuinely interested in seeing me improve my skills which was a huge motivation, and I really looked forward to our class every week.
I loved how the assignments were similar to tasks you would be given if you were working in the industry, it makes for a really professional looking portfolio of work. The standard of work I've been producing since doing this course has been a level I didn't think possible without years of industry experience, I'm so much more confident in myself now as an artist.
I've done a handful of art and design courses since finishing school, I had even started a bachelors degree in art and withdrew from it after the first year as I didn't feel like it suited me. I'm so glad I had made that decision as I can confidently say that this course was exactly what I wanted, and was far better than the other ones I had done in terms of value for money and how much I learned and improved.
...I may even consider doing the specialised course at some point in the future!

The best journey
The most I learned with CG is that you should never stop your dreams and your passion for games. As a game developer and programmer, I learned something from them, and they inspired me to create games and cinematic effects in Unreal Engine with a four-month course. Thank you very much.

Great programming community
Flexible hours:
The programming course does accommodate for people with jobs however, I don't recommend having one alongside the course. I spent the first few weeks exhausted and explaining to my mentor, Rob Brooks / DevEnabled, that I simply couldn't look at the lectures for that week. Rob was very understanding and always fit his time around me even when I continued with web dev contracts later in the year.
About my mentor:
Rob is an excellent teacher and has taught me how to assess the efficiency of different solutions and the problems I may experience with each. I have asked about a very wide range of topics that were not part of the course content at the time: unit testing and testing frameworks (TDD), enhanced inputs, gameplay tags, working with 3D modellers and game designers. Rob was able to shine a light on all of these and had not discouraged me from attempting to do TDD. If you do decide to do TDD, good luck, I want to say you're better off setting up a good debug messaging system and using breakpoints than doing this.
On top of the coding advice, Rob has told me about his own experiences in the industry to help shape my portfolio and career path. I've asked him a lot about group work but to get the best sense of whether a project will turn out well or not, you need to experience being in a few teams. One major takeaway from the student run projects I've been on is to learn when to leave, people have big dreams and visions but if there is no clear GDD and constant feature creep then its time to go.
The community:
There's an annual game jam on the course where we build a game within 2 months. This is where I started meeting a lot more people as I went to some channels for modelling and animation to see how it affects the programming for the project. There are also TAs on each channel, they are all very helpful and friendly, I needed animation and rigging assets and managed to find 3 people to help me with a project.
In the programming channel the students/alumni are great, there's always someone around/awake who can try and solve your problem as the course is international. Some of the mentors will also take a look at any problems you post. If it wasn't for the other programmers on this course, I would not have made it this far, I am incredibly blessed to have met them and my mentor.

Thank you sincerely for your incredibly detailed and thoughtful review, Chai Chai! We appreciate the time you took to share your insights, providing us not only with valuable feedback but also a comprehensive examination of your experience, serving as a roadmap for future growth. 💪

It's awesome to hear that you've embraced our community's group projects and collaboration opportunities.

We're delighted you had a great experience, and we look forward to supporting you further on your creative journey!
Its okay to not know what you're doing
My experience at CG Spectrum was over a year, I got to work with my wonderful mentor who has been in the industry for 25 years. I did the 1 on 1 mentorship.
I went in coming from a very little background in game development, just a few simple Unity projects with C#. Stepping into Unreal Engine/blueprinting was a big leap, but a very rewarding one.
This whole school has seriously changed my life, and I'm so appreciative of everyone that helped teach me, and support from the community. I even got to meet a few at Game Dev Con 2023.
I went from 0.5% in skill/knowledge of game development to a full 1200% It is really about applying yourself. CG Spectrum Game Design courses 100% push you for success, but it's up to you to put in the work.
I had a wonderful time, and once I land my first gig, I will definitely be back for the Bachelors program.
Thank you, CGS!

From our hearts to you, thank you.
It's so true, the best results show based on the amount of effort given to your projects--and just as importantly, through engaging with your mentor, peers and the community of like-minded creatives. This is usually an overlooked tool in the arsenal of growth, and we aim to provide a nurturing that space for that comradery. Just like you were able to meet some fellow students in real life, we have great fun seeing our student's stories and in person meet-ups!
We are so happy to see you take advantage of all CG Spectrum has to offer and we're honored to have been a small part of your success. In the end, it's a celebration of you!
Can't wait to welcome you back for the Bachelors program once you land your first gig. 🎮✨ Don't be a stranger, we hope to see you around plenty often in our channels. Cheers to your continued success!
Awesome but expensive!
I was "Real-time 3D Essentials" 3 months course student and before I take this course I actually wanted to get the "Real-time 3D Foundations" after it too but now I'm doubtful and need to rethink my decision.
I will divide my feedback into pros and cons:
Pros:
- Mentors are very knowledgeable and are kind enough to answer all your questions whether it's on your weekly session or on Slack , I had no problem with getting my answers whatsoever and I had two mentors and both of them were incredible!
- Tutorials cover the parts that were needed.
- Community you join is full of kind and respectful people.
Cons:
- Very expensive comparing what you get in return! I mean you can get all these tutorials for 200 dollars from udemy or other websites with same quality or maybe even better and more updated!
- I expected some bonus lessons too , most people are changing their career from totally different job so some courses giving us basics of art could be nice when we are paying this much of tuition fee!
Conclusion:
If I go back before I taking this course , I won't do it not because its bad! but because it wasn't up to my expectations , learning technical side of software is one thing , learning the way of thinking in your job (like art fundamentals) is another , I wanted an academic education to learn the second matter more than first one , otherwise there were tons of youtube videos to learn Unreal Engine or other software involved,
Overall I'm giving 3 stars because mentors are awesome and if you don't mind about it being expensive , it's a decent academy to sign up!
