"As an alumni of East Coast College, with over 30 years' experience both in commercial design and education, it has been a pleasure to teach 3D modelling and rendering using Blender to Digital Design students. This progressive course gives learners the creative tools and techniques needed to succeed in the creative industries and combined with excellent mentoring and support, learners can expect to enter the workplace with confidence. If I were starting out on my own learning journey again, this is the course I would be on."
