An educational leader in game development, animation, digital film, acting, new media, visual effects and audio production, CDIS trains professionals to work locally and worldwide in today's most dynamic fields. The campus, open 24 hours-a-day, 7 days-a-week, covers over 43,000 sq. ft, across 3 separate buildings.

CDIS Game Design Programs are ideal for students contemplating careers in game design, authoring and development or wanting to advance into design, artist or animator positions in existing game companies. The Game Development Applied Programming programs are for individuals seeking work in the programming side of the industry, or those already in the industry seeking to advance into a junior programmer position.

Courses in industry business, emerging markets, and workflow production are also offered. High-end Motion Capture hardware and software are the newest additions to the school’s gaming program. Currently, CDIS is the only school in Canada teaching motion capture technologies. We are presently offering the following programs: Game Design Foundation, Game Design Master, Game Art and Animation Foundation, Game Art and Animation Production, Game Development Foundation, Game Development Production and Game Programming Master.

CDIS is accredited by the Private Post-Secondary Commission of British Columbia, which means students may be eligible for government loans and grants. For more information, contact a CDIS Program Advisor at counselling@artschool.com.
