Republica Education partners will CG Spectrum to boost film and game skills
Education provider Republica Education has partnered with Canadian visual effects educator CG Spectrum to further build Australia's capability in film and game training, with the launch of a new accredited online course.
The Diploma of Screen and Media will aim to fill a skill gap in the industry which has seen many visual effects professionals pulled in from overseas instead of being trained locally.
DT chairman and Republica Education co-founder David Trewern said: "Until now, many Australians looking to break into the visual effects industry have had to go to schools abroad or to Hollywood to have the chance to study with professionals who are currently working."
"We want to ensure our students are equipped with the necessary tools to turn their creative passions into successful and exciting careers, and this new Diploma will help achieve this."
