Hasta La Motion!

I hope someone would give me some insight into this…I’m very new to VFX but I’m a digital artist, specializing in digital photoshop imagery. I’m also a storyboard/comic artist with some 3D knowledge with Lightwave. I want to migrate towards being a compositor but I can’t spare the time to attend a full time institute to learn what I need to know so I was wondering, would FXPHD give me the necessary training/demo reel/experience for VFX houses to seriously consider my application as a compositor? Any advice and personal experiences would help. Thanks!
