OUR TESTIMONIALS

When I joined the A.S.P.I.R.E Programme, my confidence was low. After being out of work for so long, facing industry layoffs, and receiving countless rejections, I felt hopeless. Jerome opened my eyes to the value I bring to the table. He helped me rebuild my confidence, sharpen my skills, raise my standards, and market myself in a way that made me stand out. Thanks to his guidance, I attracted multiple job offers. The skills, confidence, and clarity I’ve gained will serve me for the rest of my career. Thank you, Jerome.

For 4 years, I felt stuck. I kept hearing I was missing "something" to break into the animation industry, but no one could pinpoint what it was. I took a leap of faith and enrolled in Jerome's mentorship program.

It turned out to be the best decision I ever made. Jerome's expertise and dedication helped me identify and overcome that barrier. With his guidance and my hard work, I finally broke through and just 4 months after completing the Mentorship, I landed my first animation job!
 

If you're an aspiring Animator feeling lost, I can't recommend Jerome's Mentorship enough.

Jerome took the time to understand where I was in my career and what I was aiming for, then he helped me clearly see the gap between my current level and what I needed to focus on to progress.

He helped me approach my animation work more intentionally, especially when developing a shot for game cinematics. He also gave clear, structured feedback on my showreel and CV, which helped me better align my work for senior roles.

Jerome’s guidance was specific to where I was at, and it gave me the confidence to take on more responsibility as a Senior Animator.

Before joining the academy, most of my animations were just direct copies of reference footage. I knew I needed to break out of that habit and start thinking like a true animator,  who can bring original ideas to life, not just copy movement.
 

Joining the academy changed everything.
I learned how to build ideas from scratch, experiment confidently, and use reference to guide my creative decisions without second-guessing every move. Jerome also trained me to iterate fast, take feedback like a pro. That skill alone has been a game-changer for my workflow.

Thanks to his guidance and patience, Im now a much more confident Animator.

Before the academy, I struggled to fully grasp certain aspects of animation that other animators tried to explain to me. Now, with a trained eye and a deeper understanding of the craft, I can see those details clearly and apply them effectively in my work and it has not only enhanced my technical skills but also expanded my creative perspective.

More than anything, the academy didn’t just teach me how to animate better; it taught me to believe in myself and invest in my future and take pride in my work. Taking that leap of faith to join this program was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s not just about honing skills it’s about discovering what you’re truly capable of when you commit to growth.
 

To Jerome and everyone at the Advanced Animation Academy my colleagues, I say thank you. This experience has been life-changing, and I will continue to grow with the confidence and ability to pursue animation at a level I never dreamed of before. I’m proud to say that this program has turned a passion into a purpose, and for that, I’ll always be grateful.
