Changes are possible. The course content is updated regularly.

You are fast and confident in using CINEMA 4D and are able to create professional 3D models, animations and graphics. Editing and processing digital films with Adobe Premiere and sophisticated effects with Adobe After Effects are also part of your repertoire.

Media designers, graphic designers, web designers, people with a degree in engineering and architecture as well as specialists from artistic professions or people who are responsible for the conception, design and practical implementation of audiovisual media and want to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills.

Motion designers are used for multimedia projects, films and videos as well as for web applications. The skills acquired are in demand across all sectors in all areas of design and graphics, but also in architecture, game development, science and engineering.

Your meaningful certificate provides a detailed insight into the qualifications you have acquired and improves your career prospects.

Didactic concept

Your lecturers are highly qualified both professionally and didactically and will teach you from the first to the last day (no self-study system).

You will learn in effective small groups. The courses usually consist of 6 to 25 participants. The general lessons are supplemented by numerous practical exercises in all course modules. The practice phase is an important part of the course, as it is during this time that you process what you have just learned and gain confidence and routine in its application. The final section of the course involves a project, a case study or a final exam.

 

Virtual classroom alfaview®

Lessons take place using modern alfaview® video technology - either from the comfort of your own home or at our premises at Bildungszentrum. The entire course can see each other face-to-face via alfaview®, communicate with each other in lip-sync voice quality and work on joint projects. Of course, you can also see and talk to your connected trainers live at any time and you will be taught by your lecturers in real time for the entire duration of the course. The lessons are not e-learning, but real live face-to-face lessons via video technology.
