Yes! Our School of Design program (both the Visual Design track and UI/UX Design track) is designed for students without any prior design knowledge. Our admission interview is to make sure scheduling and career goal fit between yourself and our program. Come with zero knowledge and graduate 100% ready for design jobs.

It depends on how much knowledge you already have in each topic. We recommend filling out our email form above to obtain the full syllabus and schedule a call with us if you want to get the full picture of the entire course. We make every effort to recommend the right level of courses to each student so that they get the most out of the learning experience.

We design each individual course with multiple levels in mind. We start each course with introducing the foundation, which provides a much-needed refresher for even the seasoned designers if they have been away from theory for a while.

We then go into intermediate to advanced topics for deep dives, where multiple levels of designers might find them helpful.

Our goal is to make the course as approachable as possible while still getting into advanced topics for students who are ready to take the leap.

This is one of the biggest difference between our program and most other programs teaching UI/UX. Our curriculum team consists of academically-trained designers who have worked many years in the UI/UX design industry. Through extensive experience in practical application and student instructions, we have found that building solid visual design foundation is critical in achieving success as UI/UX designers. We are not in the business of quickly churning out graduates with subpar foundational skills like one may experience elsewhere. We are here to teach you the real deal - visual design first then UX frameworks that you will apply in the portfolio building phase.

Books are great! We will never say don't buy a book. However, design is a highly practical field. Reading books will give you the surface level understanding. You need more examples, interactive demonstrations, exercises and personalized feedback from expert designers to achieve the level that you need for your career. These other components can only be obtained from a well-designed educational program. Books are great supplements for your courses.

YouTube is a great platform. We say go watch as many YouTube videos as you'd like, but we have yet to find a complete series of courses that go in to so much details and depth as our course on YouTube. While YouTube can provide a surface level foundation for you, it isn't likely to help you get to the level you need for your career. We recommend scheduling a call with us if you are interested and ask questions to make your informed decisions.

Absolutely! We believe in learning by doing. That's why we designed exercises for each unit with intention. Students are expected to complete every exercise and quizzes in order to complete the course. This is not a passive learning experience - it's active. We also wrap up each course with a portfolio-level project, so you can be sure to take away with you a polished piece from every course you finish. If you enroll in our School of Design certificate program with the 9 full course workload, you will have 9 portfolio projects at the time you graduate - a portfolio project number unmatched by any other programs.

We do not provide job guarantees for one reason only - there is no such thing as guarantee in life. 100% of "job guarantees" that exist elsewhere are marketing gimmicks - we do not like or do gimmicks. We are proud of our student results and confident that with the right amount of effort and persistence, our students will land the design job of their dreams.
