The year I spent in the AFTV program wasn't only the best thing for me as an actor but the best thing for me as a person. Working closely with Chilton Crane, Bruce Dawson, and many other instructors was exactly what I was looking for when I set out to start my journey as an actor. The small classes allows for in depth one on one work with all of the instructors, of whom are incredibly knowledgeable and well versed in the industry. It's also noteworthy how well they have been able to adapt to online classes amidst the past year, maintaining the same level of quality and professionalism they would if it were in person. This school should definitely be on your radar if you are pursuing a creative career.

The broadcasting diploma program offers a lot of opportunity to learn in any specific direction the student wishes to pursue. As with any art institution, the value gained by the year's end is the result of the student asking questions, pushing their own boundaries and exploring outside of assignment criteria. Everything completed in the course can be used toward job opportunities after graduation if done professionally. The instructors in the course want to see success and were always available to the class for support. I recommend auditing for a day to make sure it's the right fit for your aspirations and if it is, show up everyday and give 110%. Good luck!

I did the Web Development & Interactive Design course 2019-2020. The teachers were really knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. I felt comfortable raising any issues and the department head listened to any concerns we had. They really care about nuturing you, and were genuinely excited to watch us grow and develop our skills. I didn't have any issue with the facilities there. They are basic, but you're there to learn not chill out in the break room. I had access to all the software and programs required for the course without needing to buy anything except a 15 domain name where we uploaded our projects. The school itself is in a central location and easy to get to by bus or train. I'd recommend this course to anyone considering a career in web-something. I say \web-something\ because it's a holistic course that goes beyond \just\ web development. I shopped around a few different schools and ultimately chose this one due to the fact they also cover design, business, project management, and SEO. I'm so thankful I went here - I went in thinking I wanted to be a full-stack developer and fell in love with SEO instead. Now, I'm a digital marketer. I don't think I'd have had that opportunity at another school. If you are considering the webdev course, just know that you need to put the work in or you'll get nothing out of this course. The webdev course is REALLY hard and you can't coast along. It moves at a breakneck pace because there is just SO MUCH you need to learn in a year. Pro tip: always remember that every project you do will eventually go in your portfolio. At job interviews they will test your skills, so don't put anything on your portfolio that you can't code by yourself.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME. I wish I invested my money in the stock market than wasted them on Web Development program. Instructors make you believe you can be a full stack developer but that's not true. That's not how the market works. Yes, the program covered a lot of courses, but nothing went in depth. A couple of instructors were professional and good, the rest of them weren't. One instructor took really long to check the homework or other projects. And when I say long, I mean 4 months, no joke. The same instructor kept talking about his dating life. So I learned a lot about it but not much about PHP and JavaScript. Instructors tell you to email them when you have questions, but they rarely reply. They are great example of who you should not be. One instructor said that VanArts is a business. Well, then I'm not satisfied with a quality of service VanArts provides. The only one good thing about my time in VanArts is the other students, some of them became my friends. Most of the students in my class also thought it was a waste of money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND web development program. There are better schools in Vancouver.
