Is it for me?
If you’re comfortable using PhotoShop,
InDesign and Illustrator, but have never
opened up After Effects or Cinema 4D, you
can do this course.

Or, if you’re self-taught in AE or C4D using


YouTube, but you’re craving that level of
professionalism and confidence you can’t get
off the internet, this course is your jam.

If you’re working or studying, don’t worry, you


can fit Motion Design Professional around your
schedule. We know how frustrating it is,
scouring the web for tutorials on the job,
wondering half the time if you’re on the right
track.

Save yourself the headache and just learn the


good stuff, in only 8-10 hours a week.
What do I need?
You’ll need to provide your own hardware
and software licenses for PhotoShop,
InDesign, Illustrator and After Effects.

We’ve got you covered for Cinema 4D


though! We provide a free license for you
from Block 3 of the course.
