What our clients say about us:

Andrew John Henry

I'm currently a student in VCAD. Not only that the instructors are really good at teaching, they're also very friendly to their students and this is base on my experience in VCAD. They inspire us by showing their amazing skills and prepare us to meet the requirments for graduation. They will sit with students who are struggling to do the assignments. My skills as an artist got way better than what I had before. As a gamer, I'm looking forward to learning more about gaming in VCAD.

The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Answered any and all questions I had. Got an unscheduled personal tour of facility and really like the student to instructor ratio’s. The vibe was great in there and an added bonus is it’s close and easy to all types of major transit.
