Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Take Arts & Maths A Levels. If you wanna go somwhere like Bournemouth, these will help. (2 Years)
Then
Take a good art class at a college. Saint Martins Central College in London have a good one. I dont know where you are though. (1 year)
The you can go to Uni.
You should really learn about the fundamentals of 3D such as art, design, trad animation...etc. You can then apply this to any software. After all, Maya is just software, and that can be learnt at home. You should use this time in your life get the basics done, like drawing. To become, say an animator, software is secondary to the accual animation.
Also, I e-mailed Bournemouth last year and was told Maths and and an Art based subject are the two key things needed to get in there.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

if you want to do animation i would recoment Southhamton art institute, iv see two very good shorts come out of there in the last few months
if on the other hand your more intrested in making nice pics (illustration etc) i would recomend you goto bournemouth art college (thats where i went btw). Thay wont care about your grades, if you work is good enough you will get in (i managed to get in without any grades what so ever)
Monsters! Monsters from the id!
