The Career Centers instructors are highly skilled communicators who really know their craft. They are wonderful about explaining and re-explaining when necessary and I never felt rushed or foolish for asking a question.

Note, however, that we don’t provide job placement (i.e. reaching out to companies on your behalf).
We provide computers (Mac or PC) equipped with the appriopriate software. Choose your operating system at checkout.
In the Visual Design Bootcamp (one of the classes in this certificate) you will be designing a website, so we encourage you to come with a concept (or real-life project) in mind. If you do not have one, the instructor will help you brainstorm ideas or will provide you with project ideas you can choose from. If you want to work on your own website design project, please collect as much content (text, images, logos, etc.) as you can ahead of time, and bring that to class so you’ll be ready to work!
A typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
We have scheduled the certificate classes in various tracks (day, night, or weekend) for your convenience, but you can customize your schedule.
When creating a custom schedule, you’ll be able to choose between the various available dates for each class in the certificate program. So if you can’t make a particular class, you can choose a different scheduled instance that works better for you. Please keep the following in mind when scheduling:
Sketch and Adobe XD are two design apps that do the same type of things, but are made by different companies. There’s not a single industry-standard app, so both are widely used by designers. We think new visual designers benefit from learning both so you can decide which you like best, and you’ll be prepared for real-life jobs where you don’t get to decide which app you want to use (because the company you work for uses one of these).
Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.
