How Long Does It Take To Learn Maya?

Many of our students at Animation Apprentice will never have opened Maya before.  Or, at least, they won't be very familiar with it.  Maya is a big, complex piece of software - the interface can look daunting at first.  But don't be discouraged, with time and practice - you will get there in the end.
