Check the FAQ
Visit our FAQ for details on eligibility, location, salary, and more.
What you need
Have your up to date personal details ready
We'll need these details in order to be able to contact you. We'll also ask you for the highest Level of study that you have completed.
Prepare your portfolio
The most important thing to have ready is a link to your own online portfolio. This could be links to your showreel, and/or websites with your artwork, short VFX sequences, photographs, or other materials that you feel are relevant to your application. Please ensure that the content is suitable for a professional workplace. You can post up to three links.
Check out the questions and prepare your answers before you apply
To help you prepare you can draft your responses to the questions below before starting your application. The online application lets you save your progress, so you don’t need to complete it all at once and you can update your questions before submitting. Good luck!
- Have you studied Visual Effects, animation, or computer animation at Level 4 or above? (If you've studied Visual Effects, animation or computer animation as part of a Level 3 course, that's great - just answer "No". If you have studied Visual Effects, animation or computer animation at Level 4 or above, you will not be eligible to take part in a Level 4 apprenticeship. You would be over-qualified and you may choose not to continue to fill out this application.)
- What have you made/done as part of your course that you are proud of, or is relevant to a VFX Apprenticeship?
- What have you done/made outside of your course studies? (Please describe any extra-curricular activities that you have been involved in that you feel are relevant to your application. Do you want to tell us about the work you've given us links to?)
- Do you have any relevant work experience or exposure to the VFX industry? (Please provide the details of any relevant work experience or exposure to the VFX industry you have undertaken with a brief description of your duties.)
- Are you interested in one of the three VFX apprentice specialisms more than the other two? If so, which one and why?
- What interests you the most about an apprenticeship in Visual Effects?
- Which VFX discipline would you like to focus your career on in the future?
- What is your favourite film, television programme or commercial, and why?
- What makes you stand out and why should employers invite you to attend an assessment day?
