The course teaches you to how to work with popular graphics and animation packages like Illustrator, Flash and Photoshop, and also introduces you to web layout and design.

The curriculum includes graphics, images and visuals, and visualisation techniques as well as two and three dimensional animation techniques. It teaches you multimedia-programming, audio/video editing and advanced three dimensional animation techniques like morphing.

The web-engineering course includes web page designing and programming concepts. You can even do a dual certificate programme that combines the courses in web engineering and multimedia.

Pentamedia Graphics offers training in graphics and animation. During the three-month course, they equip you to work with simple graphics software. If you wish you could also take another course in advanced graphic software (which is used in movies). At the end of the course, you can choose to join their team of graphics specialists and designers, and work on live projects.
