2019 was a big year, with an expansive update and enhancement to the instructor interface. With a new year, we are proud to announce the same update to the student experience. With an all-new home page, in-person classes and online courses that now match the instructor view, plus dozens of new learning tools, FilmSkills Academic is better than ever.

Engineered with the same thoughtful design as the instructor’s Class Manager, the new design improves learning outcomes.
