PROGRAM INFORMATION & APPLICATION PAGE

3DMirage Studios like most other companies found that while most training programs provide software familiarity, however, software proficiency is gained on the job through repetition and takes 1-2 years. This is a time-consuming and inefficient process.

In order to overcome this problem, 3DTraining has designed a Work-Simulation program that functions like a flight simulator for learning complex software. Our learning-by-doing methodology reduces the time it takes to gain software proficiency from years to just a few months.

In the Work-Simulation program, participants gain proficiency by working on four in-demand projects assigned with deliverables and deadlines, just like in the real world. The goal of training is to create a professional portfolio by using efficient workflow and improving individual performance to meet client expectations.

The work-simulation program also includes a 6-month online internship program for those who are seeking to get a break in the field. Those who successfully complete the internship program are provided with a work reference letter to better their career prospects.

Based on our two decades of training and production experience we have found that it takes an average of four in-demand projects to gain a high level of proficiency with complex 3D software.

The four projects types vary based on the software you are looking to learn and increase with the level of complexity.

Since the goal of the program is for our participants to create a professional portfolio, each participant gets to choose their own specific projects to work on based on their interests.

Besides working on projects, other assignments during the internship may include assisting new students with their projects and other tasks as assigned by the company.

The 3DTraining program is self-paced and the entire program is conducted online using a combination of our Work-Simulator platform and weekly live-online review and helpdesk sessions.

The program is conducted on a part-time basis so that working professionals and full-time students can participate as long as they can dedicate at least 5-10 hours per week for the training program and the optional internship program.

International students residing outside the US can also apply. Please note that is recommended that you should try to attend at least one online project review/lab session per week if possible.

3D TRAINING PROGRAM SCHEDULE: (5-10 hours per week | 4-8 months)
The 3DTraining programs start at the first week of each month with a one-hour online prep session. During this session, you will meet with our instructional team to learn best practices and choose your training projects.

In general if you can spend approx. 10 hours per week on learning and working on your project you should be able to complete each project within one month. So you should be able to complete all 4 projects within 4 months.

However based on your schedule, you can change the deadline to sooner or later depending on the hours that you will be able to dedicate each week.

During the program, if you face any issues at work or personal life you can also pause your program and resume at any time within one year.

LAB-HOURS/REVIEW SESSIONS: The weekly online project review sessions/ labs are usually held every Wednesdays at 8pm and Saturday at 2pm (US Eastern Standard Time).

You need to be able to attend one review session per week of your choice. If the schedule does not work for you, please mention in your application the times you are available on Wednesdays or Saturdays and we will try to accommodate you.

OPTIONAL INTERNSHIP PROGRAM: (10 hours per week | 6 months)
Those who apply and get selected for the optional internship program after graduation will need to be able to commit at least 10 flexible hours per week.

The fixed online meeting times (1-4 hours) each week are generally during week-nights or Weekends so those who are working or studying full-time can also participate.

The rest of the hours are flexible and participants can work on projects assigned based on their convenience.

OPTION 1: TRAINING PROGRAM ONLY
The total fee for the work-simulation program just by itself is $2700.

The program fee includes:

• One Year Access to 3D Training Platform 

• Creation of Four in-demand Portfolio Projects

• Project Review Sessions and Live Online Labs

• Career Strategy & Post Class Support
  

  Please note: Autodesk currently provides a one year educational software license (value $1600-$2700) to eligible students at no cost.
  

OPTION 2: TRAINING + INTERNSHIP PROGRAM:
