Do You Know How To Draw?

Someone asked how they could enrol in the Animation courses. Well KYS has two types of courses; a Certificate Course and a Diploma Course. You make the choice. Normally you must have passed SPM with 3 credits. If you have less credits but have the passion on such courses feel free to visit KYS. You may just be able to go in and do the Certificate course first.  KYS is recognized as a model Animation Centre in the island of BORNEO. You are most welcomed to contact KYS at the Sembulan Campus (nearby the State Mosque in Kota Kinabalu and next to JKR and Federal Building).
