Also you must have a computer with the software you are looking to learn installed, and high speed internet connection. We also recommend that you use a computer headset to communicate during the live online training sessions.


I have not completed high school/GED can I still participate in the 3DTi programs?

If you have not completed high school/ GED, you may be able to attend our programs but you would have to take a Wonderlic test which we administer online to ensure that you will be able to participate in the courses successfully.


I do not reside in the US, but I am very interested in joining your programs? Can I still join?

A significant part of the 3DTi training programs are live instructor-led online, so currently we offer our training programs only to residents of the US and CANADA due to time zone differences. However we do make exceptions if you meet our eligibility requirements and are able to attend the online classes at odd hours, based on the time zone difference in your country. Certain additional conditions may apply for international students. For more details please fill out our course inquiry form.

Which software should I learn? Can I get discounts to purchase the software?

Currently we teach some of the most popular Autodesk software packages such as 3DS Max, Maya AutoCAD and Revit. While 3DS Max and Maya are geared more for the entertainment and design visualization applications. AutoCAD and Revit software are geared towards the architectural industry.

For more information about which software is right for you, please fill out the inquiry form and check out the FREE Starter Pack. We have provided you with trial software downloads and tutorials to try out the software, compare the features so that you can decide for yourself. If you still need help in deciding, we recommend that you attend our one hour complimentary demo class online to find out more information.

As a 3DTi student, you also get discounts for purchasing the software you are looking to learn. The full featured student versions are generally available at a fraction of the cost of the professional versions. For current pricing of the 3DS Max/ Maya software, visit studica.com


How do I know if my computer can handle the 3D software?

Generally, as long as your computer is not too old, you should be able to run the programs in your existing systems. However to check minimum system requirements and test if your system will run the software, we recommend that you check out the FREE Starter pack we have provided. The Starter pack provides the trial versions of the software and tutorials which you can try out to check if your system and see if the software works properly for your learning purposes. Later once you get good with the software and start working professionally, then you may want to look into getting a faster computer with lots of memory and a good graphics card to speed up your render time.


How do I choose the class schedules?

At 3DTi new classes start every month In terms of class schedules, our live instructor led sessions are conducted during either weeknights or weekends for the duration of 4 hours each week.


What are the course fees and what are the financing options available?

The tuition fees for our programs varies based on the course/s you have selected but are generally a fraction of the cost of what you would pay for a normal 3-4 year degree program. The course fees can be paid in full by credit/debit card, pay pal or check. 3DTi offers interest-free monthly payment plans of $ 900 or $ 450 per month. TFC Financing is also offered for US residents where monthly payments can be as low as $ 300 or $ 150 per month plus interest (no credit check required). For exact course pricing, you can fill out our inquiry form and watch our course details video presentation.


What is your refund policy?

Our refund policy has been defined by New York Education Department (BPSS) on a pro-rata basis. This means your payment obligations are only for the classes you have actually attended. However if you cancel your classes after attending the first class, you will get a full refund minus the $50 or $100 course registration fee as applicable. For more details fill out the inquiry form and see our school catalog.


How do I register for the program, and what is the enrollment process?

If you are found eligible and interested in joining our programs, the first step is to fill out our course inquiry form and start the application process. On filling the inquiry form, you will be able to watch our "course details video presentation" and PDF documents, which will provide you with detailed information about the course contents, upcoming class start dates, fees and payment options. Once you decide on the class start dates and payment plan choice for the software you are looking to learn, you will see the option to register for the program right below the course details video presentation.

Once you fill out the registration form, you will be able to print and fax back your automatically generated enrollment agreements along with your eligibility documents, and send in your proof of completion of high school or higher degree. Upon reviewing your application our admissions counselor will send you an acceptance email and your course fee payments, which will be due 2 weeks before the first class start date.

New classes start every month, and we have small class sizes so they fill up fast. Therefore, we allow our students to register in advance for class start dates up to a year from the actual registration date.
