Hear from some of our Graphic Design course graduates

“For a long time, I wanted to learn how to work with design tools. This course has exceeded my expectations, with lots of exciting theory and fun practical assignments! It's also great to have practical assignments. It keeps you accountable and makes you practise the new skills a lot.”
Marina Chelak
Graphic Design Elevate
“Graphic Design Elevate was the perfect short graphic design course for me! I was taught a combination of practical and theory-based skills, which helped me gain more of a holistic confidence toward my passion. The flexible learning suited my work schedule perfectly and I felt it was a very balanced commitment.”
Christina Peng
Graphic Design Elevate
“After finishing the Graphic Design Elevate course, I left with a newfound sense of confidence in my design skills. While I had a base level of skill using the Adobe Creative Suite, no amount of searching on Youtube for ‘how-to’ videos could compare to a well-structured course. With my new skills, I’m able to take my digital art side hustle to a whole new level.”
