Preliminary Programs

Turn your passion into skills

About ARC Academy

For 6 years, we have been training creative minds who want to develop professionally in the creative industries.

The Academy’s programs give you the opportunity to learn not only theory, but also to create real projects that become part of your digital portfolio.

This way, knowledge immediately transforms into practical skills. Whether you’re at the beginning of your creative journey or looking for a new direction for development, ARC Academy will help you with practically-oriented training, a supportive environment, and professional guidance.

Approach

We believe that creativity is a quality that everyone carries within themselves – it just needs to be directed and developed through the right tools and approaches.

Therefore, every student works with the help of a mentor, receiving personal feedback and guidance for developing their digital portfolio.

You don’t need to have previous experience or technical skills to join the preliminary programs. All you need is curiosity and enthusiasm.

Who Are These Programs For

You don’t need to have drawing skills to join our programs. As we often say, it all comes down to the desire to experiment, curiosity, and persistence. We believe that everyone carries innate creative abilities within themselves, which can be developed with practice and applied in various creative professions.

The preliminary programs are ideal for:

  • Creative minds, regardless of their previous experience
  • Artists who want to develop their potential in digital arts
