FAQs
I'm completely new to design. Will this be the right choice for my next career?
We are glad you are interested in exploring design as your next career! It is a wonderful field with many opportunities, as you can read up on our Career Paths page. Job growth is optimistic and salary range is on the higher end compared to many other industries.
With that being said, you will have to actually learn and work hard in order to find out 2 things – do you like it and are you good at it. No one can tell you if this is for you, but yourself. Our job is to provide the right guidance with our industry expertise and a high-quality pool of instructors.
How long does it take to transition to design?
You can expect to complete our Certificate of Design in 6-8 months depending on the number of hours you commit to every week. We generally recommend at least 10-15 hours per week.
Unlike many “bootcamps”, we do not encourage an accelerated program approach because design is a serious craft that cannot be learned in a few weeks. Rather than fast and furious, we’d rather make sure you learn it well and learn it right.
With our flexible financing options, we’d like to make your career transition as easy as possible with full support as fewer financial hurdles.
Do you have student success stories?
Yes we sure do! We regularly update our student work and success stories in our Student Outcomes page.
Will the knowledge you teach be applicable to different countries?
Yes, no matter where you are in the world, the language of design is universal. You might find yourself needing to learn a few local customs and practices that are particular to the region you live and work in, but the general principles of design is the same everywhere in the world in the digital space.
Do you offer job placement after your programs?
While we do not have a job guarantee or job placement due to the reasons we specified in the “Why don’t you have a job guarantee like other design schools” below, we do provide on-demand career support during the job search process to help our students navigate the job market effectively. We also help students develop a highly-customized career search plan before they graduate so that they are ready to put their best foot forward immediately after graduation.
