A few useful answers.

Is Academy the same as CXT Learn?

Academy is where you explore our learning paths. CXT Learn is the separate student platform where you access your courses.

Which course should I start with?

New to creative work? Start with the free Intro to After Effects, or AI-Assisted Brand Design when it opens. Choose the CXT AE Motion Design Course for a fuller 2D After Effects foundation, or explore SaaS motion design, Blender and AI workflows. Check each course for availability.

Are all of these courses available now?

No. Paths marked “In development” are previews of what we are building. Visit CXT Learn for current course availability and enrolment details.

Are project files included?

Our planned SaaS recreation library includes Figma storyboards and After Effects project files. The exact resources depend on the course; check its details on CXT Learn.
