The Program
The Dave School offers intensive career training in Computer Animation for Film, Television, Gaming, and More. Our 1 Year program includes hard surface and organic modeling, character animation, visual effects compositing and more. Employment skills and career building are woven into the entire curriculum. Our Diploma and Occupational Associates Degree programs are both licensed by the Florida Department of Education and approved for Veterans and International Students.
Your First Job
The program culminates with a 12-week production exercise that puts
you on the crew of a fully animated (or visual effects intensive) film!
By using the same software, equipment, and pipeline as major studios
you can earn the equivalent of over a year of professional work experience
while still in school. This is a critical training experience you will
not find at any other school.
