Direct 1-on-1 interaction
Often there is not enough time during the week to properly follow up and assist students to the level they require. This is where cgCoach can help take the load off your existing staff. Our custom I.C.E software means communication is easy and personal.


More eyes means better results
When a student is working on a final year major work an extra set of eyes is beneficial for offering suggestions and providing constructive feedback and support.


Share the load
Our coaching team is here to support your existing staff, not replace them. We don’t define curriculums and conduct training sessions. Our goal is to offer feedback and advice to students completing final year projects or major works. You are already providing the students with a solid understanding of computer graphics. We are here to help fine tune their new skills and provide the necessary advice and feedback to get them into the industry and living their dream.

 

It’s highly secure and confidential.

Our online community is hosted on high end dedicated servers for peace of mind.

Privacy and security gauranteed
Your data is important to us so we only use 100% Dell Servers that have undergone rigorous research and development to ensure quality and compatibility.

We also use APF which is a well known and respected software firewall that utilizes the built in Linux routing system.

Each week we also generate a pdf version of all the students feedback and comments from I.C.E. This is a great way to not only track evert students progress but to also keep as reference.

 

 

It helps your student's create amazing demo reels.

The goal of every student is to create the best demo reel possible to showcase their skills and knowledge. This is why we provide each student with comprehensive feedback before they send their reels to everyone.

 

Get the feedback you have always wanted
Student's spend an enormous amount of time and effort creating their Demo Reels. When completed they send them to every studio they can find think of and wait for an email or phone call.


The problem with this is that most student's will not hear anything back from the Supervisor who reviewed their work. There are many reasons for this ranging from bad timing, finding a more suitable candidate, or simply the wrong skills.


However, one of the biggest reasons is that their Demo Reel did not sell themselves correctly. This is where cgCoach helps. Our team review Demo Reels all the time and know what works, what doesn't, and how to get noticed. Get the feedback you have always wanted, from the inside!

 

It’s a proven coaching concept.

The largest center of vocational higher education for the media industries in the UK has been working with cgCoach.com since it's conception back in 2007.

What are you waiting for?

Your student's need all the help they can get in order to make the jump from training facility to industry. We are here to help and to make a difference and it's much cheaper than you would ever expect.

From as little as $3(USD) per student per day
That's all it costs! Some of our schools ask their students to contribute to this fee, others access government funding, while others wrap this into their annual expenses. What ever you decide, we can work together to make it happen.


Select the students that will benefit the most
Not all students will be ready for direct interaction with our coaching team and we also understand that schools can't afford to offer this service to everyone in their faculty. This is why we recommend that the students you select to participate have a solid grounding in the basics and are either working on a major project or assignment.
