Ever considered designing and building video games for a living?
Want your name listed in the credits of movies for your work in 3D Animation or special effects?
Like the idea of developing an awesome simulator for Virtual Reality?

If you are in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra or Adelaide, the Academy of Interactive Entertainment is having an open day on Sunday, 14th of August, 2016. They will be holding presentations, showing off the work of students, and answering questions about their courses, and how to get work in the film, games and simulation industries.

Students who have studied previously at AIE have gone on to work in film studios, such as Rising Sun Pictures (Adelaide), Animal Logic (Sydney) and Dreamworks, and game studio Bioware.

AIE offers courses in four fields of profession: 3D Animation and VFX for Film, Game Art & Animation, Game Programming, and Game Design and Production. The qualifications offered are as follows:

Certificate II in Creative Industries (Media)
Certificate II in Information, Digital Media and Technology
C++ Programming Foundations
Certificate III in Media
Certificate III in Information, Digital Media and Technology

The higher level qualifications offered by AIE are approved for either the Australian government's FEE-HELP or VET FEE-HELP schemes. This enables students to defer payment of course fees, until after they have started in a new job. For more information about these schemes and other similar schemes, please visit the Australian government's StudyAssist website.
