SAE Institute, regarded as the world's leading creative media training provider, has announced the launch of their renowned short courses at their new Cape Town academy. The Institute will be offering further study options in the fields of Animation, Graphic Design, Electronic Music Production and DJ Digital Production on a part-time basis. Intended to benefit students unable to study full-time, the SAE Institute short courses have been designed as a means for individuals that are already working within the creative industry, yet would welcome the opportunity to sharpen their skills or acquire a new design or musical talent.

�We understand that many of our potential students simply don�t have the time to study full-time nor do they need the formality of a diploma or degree,� says Marco Bettelli, Managing Director for SAE Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.� He continues, �The SAE Institute short courses address the needs of those looking to either �up-skill� or perhaps move into a different creative sphere, and offers our expert training to accommodate their specific needs.�

With the first short course intake in September and the second enrolment in November, creative professionals and audio enthusiasts will be spoilt for choice with the variety of courses available. Students will also be offered the opportunity to make use of the world�s leading technology, as the SAE studios boast some of the globe�s most coveted pieces of audio and design equipment.
