Common Questions About Our Programs
How do I know which program is right for me?
The choice depends on your interests, goals, and current situation. If you're uncertain, we'd recommend scheduling a consultation where we can discuss your circumstances and help you understand which option might align best with what you're hoping to achieve. There's no obligation, just an opportunity to explore possibilities together.
What if I have no previous design experience?
All our programs are designed to accommodate beginners. We start with fundamentals and build progressively, so previous experience isn't required. What matters most is genuine interest in learning and willingness to engage with the process. Many of our most capable students arrived with no prior design background.
Can I switch between programs if I change my mind?
We understand that interests sometimes shift as you begin learning. While we encourage thoughtful initial program selection, we can discuss options if your goals change during your studies. Our priority is supporting your creative development, whatever direction that takes.
What software or equipment do I need?
You'll need access to a reasonably capable computer and Adobe Creative Suite subscription, which we can help you obtain at educational rates. We'll provide specific technical requirements during consultation. Most students find they can work with equipment they already own, though some upgrades may eventually prove useful.
