Apply by submitting the contact form on this page. Expect a call from our representative to schedule a brief interview with an Admissions or Academy team member.
After you apply, an Admissions Coordinator will contact you for an initial assessment and either schedule a meeting or let you know if we cannot consider you at this time.
We receive a lot of applicants for our Academy courses, so we might not get back to you right away, especially if the next start date for the course is further out.
If you haven’t heard back from a member of the Admissions Team within 2-3 weeks of applying, please contact info@vfxnest.com with your name and the date of your applying.
The interview exists to ensure you’re an appropriate fit for vfxNest. We’re seeking candidates who are interested in the film industry, passionate, creative, and dedicated to success.
The new course starts on 15th of September.
The Course will take place in vfxNest Academy in Skopje, Macedonia. But the course can be followed online in real-time from any location online.
When selecting which location to apply to, there are a few things to consider. First, consider where you would like to work after your time at The Academy and, if you don’t already live there, whether you would be willing to relocate if you are offered a position.
Your eligibility will also be dependent on immigration/working rights in that location. If you will need a work permit or Visa, we will confirm with you if we can help support this and the likely delays to be incurred. You should also consider time zones, as learning and feedback will be conducted in the relevant timezone of the location of the course Trainer.
This is determined on a case-by-case basis. The Admissions Team will investigate your performance in the previous course, speak with your trainer and the Academy team, and make an informed decision.
If we feel that you can benefit from going through the Academy again or taking another course to become a better-rounded artist, and there were no other issues raised, then we can consider your request. We don’t want to waste your time or ours, so we will always give you the most direct answer and constructive feedback with the decision.
