"Simply put, Nimbus prepared me for the professional world of engineering by giving me the skills and having the right tools to work with, and I received an internship at the Armoury Studios upon graduation. Without them, this would've never been possible."
- Matt, Alumnus

"Nimbus is more than just a school. It is a philosophy, an attitude, a way of life. While my instructors taught me invaluable lessons about recording techniques and technology, they went far beyond all that. My experience there has made me not only a better engineer, but a better person as well!"
- Owen, Alumnus
