Built to give the power to the creative minds using it, Unreal can help with anything from building the smallest projects to tackling the most demanding challenges. Unreal’s toolset gives you everything you need to build a diverse array of applications the way you choose.
Our Programs
9 Month Training Programs
Our core offering is our full 30-week to 9-month training programs. These are divided into 3 terms to deliver the skills students will use on the job.
For each program, students create their art with Unreal in mind from the beginning, with all final showcases being in Unreal.

Why We Use Unreal Engine
(Words From Our Mentors)
Andrew Baker, Mentor
I love working with Unreal Engine and it is a determining factor for what studios I apply for and accept recruiting offers from. I started learning in the UT3 editor over 10 years ago.
I display the majority of my props in Unreal Engine and occasionally do full fledged environments for fun, and of course work in it for work. I frequently follow Unreal Engine tutorials for fun.
Learning Unreal Engine has helped me understand real time graphics overall better, because everything done in UE is technically possible in other programs, and I love trying to get to the bottom of how these FX, etc. are done.
Jacob Claussen, Mentor
I started using Unreal Engine when it was still UDK but just a couple months later UE4 came out and I remember the big impact it had on me and my peers where I studied.
With UE4 it became easier to work as an artist and create what you saw.
With my portfolio scenes being built in Unreal and then getting to use it at my first bigger job was a nice start in the career.
I often use Unreal in my freetime to build new scenes, small games or stories in forms of smaller movies.
Then with UE5 coming out I could feel a bit of what I felt during the time UE4 came out. It became even more about being able to tell your story.
I'm happy that I get to use Unreal both at work and when I come home!
About Vertex School
Vertex School was founded in 2010 by Ryan Kingslien with a vision for how to help creatives land jobs. Spending $100,000 on a college education just isn't an option for all artists, and it shouldn't need to be.
Vertex School is a live, online school where you can learn from AAA experts no matter where you're located. Without the burden of a physical location, we put forth that anyone, anywhere can become a successful 3D Artist. It just takes a bit of grit and dedication to the craft.
We're a higher quality, more affordable and up-to-date alternative to associate and bachelor degree programs which can be outdated by the time you finish them.

"I think that Unreal Engine is great tool for artists and game designers to use.
It's great for rendering your artwork and displaying what it will look like in-game.
I mainly use Unreal Engine to render my projects. I also use it to see what my artwork looks like in a real-time game engine."
-Christopher Pearce, Current Game Art Program Student
