Asking on behalf on someone else

Abbreviation:
IIRC - If I Recall (or Remember) Correctly
VFX - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_effects

In terms of \"where else to go\", it's pretty much the same as per any area of interest / study:
1. ITE - example ITE's https://www.ite.edu.sg/courses/course-finder/course/higher-nitec-in-visual-effects
2. Polytechnic - example NYP and TP
3. Local University - example NTU's School of Art, Design and Media, SUSS' School of Science and Technology

If you are looking overseas, there are specialised colleges like Germany's https://www.filmakademie.de/en/ and USA's Gnomon - https://www.gnomon.edu (which is right in the heart of Hollywood).

Last but not least, there's always the 'learn-it-yourself' and 'express-yourself' route.

Learn-it-yourself - You can buy industry grade software such as Adobe After Effects and play around with it, or you can download https://www.blender.org for free.
Express-yourself - YouTube, vimeo, etc. like this guy:

Floppy, what is IIRC and VFX? Besides Poly, where else can a kid interested in this or has talent in this go?

My cousin graduated from NYP from a similar or same course a long time ago.

IIRC his secondary results weren’t fantastic but he loved to draw. He didn’t take art or was offered art in school either. Nonetheless, he had a lot of sketches, drawings that he could present and showcase during his interview (not for EAE but I think it was for JAE or appeal or something). No specific theme but a lot of fantasy drawings like dragons, knights etc (D&D FTW - it’s a boys’ thing).

He used to work for one of the major VFX production houses and participated in several Hollywood productions after graduation. Now working for a financial institution heading their marketing / production / something team.

As VFX become more prevalent in films and productions, online media getting more prominence, more videos / info being digitized and streamed, esports / gaming being a huge industry, I don’t think you should be worried about job prospects as there’s a strong demand for talents in this field.
