by BAM | January 18, 2019

iACADEMY the only one school in Southeast Asia and in the Philippines has a Center of Excellence (CoE) when it comes to teaching young and aspiring Filipino animators to become experts at Toon Boom.

iACADEMY received the Center of Excellence (CoE) recognition from Toon Boom. This is a game-changing milestone for the institution as it is the very first Toon Boom CoE to ever be awarded to an educational institution in Southeast Asia and in the Philippines.

iACADEMY is fully qualified and equipped to expertly teach its animation students how to make full use of the Toon Boom platform to create world-class animation productions.

While other schools can use Toon Boom in their animation classes, they are neither certified nor qualified to use 100 percent of the platform.  These schools can only teach their students 1/8th of Toon Boom’s amazing capabilities.

The Toon Boom CoE is awarded to academic institutions that offer exceptional courses in Animation and Storyboarding with Toon Boom software as their program platform.

In its School of Design, iACADEMY uses Toon Boom Harmony 16 in the Anipri (2-5), Thesis (1-3), and 2D Effects animation courses. iACADEMY  uses Toon Boom Storyboard Pro 6 in its Storyboarding (1-2) and Thesis 1 subjects.

The awarding was attended by iACADEMY’s president and CEO Vanessa L. Tanco, along with the institution’s School of Design Dean Mark Meily, Animation Department Chair Prof. Weena Espardinez, and Animation Department Prof. Peter Brown.
