About the Centre for Fine Art Animation and Design

The Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design (CFAD) is a tertiary institution that offers training in Fine Art, Animation (2D and 3D) and Graphic Design. The CFAD was established in 1994 by world-renowned cartoonist, illustrator and journalist Nanda Soobben. Prior to the establishment of the CFAD various individuals approached Nanda Soobben with the desire to learn his skills. It was from this need in the community that the institution was born. In recognition of his contribution to South African society and for establishing this institution, Nanda Soobben received the San Francisco Leadership Award. The Centre for Fine Art, Animation and Design has developed an integrated fine art, graphic design and animation diploma that equip artists with marketable skills. In the past many fine art graduates found it difficult to secure jobs, however graduates of CFAD have found it easier to secure employment in the local printing, advertising and media industry. Several successful graduates are now employed internationally.

Krish Moodley, Academic Head of CFAD, and a team of dedicated artists and designers have developed the institution into a leading Centre of Design excellence in Durban. Today, students from as far a field as the United States, Japan, India, Botswana and Zimbabwe are registered at the institution. As part of its commitment to quality education the institution is provisionally registered with the Department of Education, South African Qualifications Authority and the Council on Higher Education as a Private Higher Education Institution.
