I feel the most important part of my studies at the College was how Andy, the Animation and Computer Game Design tutor taught me. Andy’s method strongly encouraged self-reliance, which enabled me to be my own quality control, that’s what I believe helped me most in securing my place at NCCA.” Michael is well on his way to achieving his aim of gaining a degree and securing employment within a top Animation company.
