FAQs

The Basic plan gives you access to all course materials except advanced, specialized topics. It is more expensive to book individual instructor sessions than the Advanced plan. It also qualifies for less in tuition discount when upgraded to the full School of Design career program or Portfolio School program. It also receives fewer discounts for other career events or programs. 

If you are looking to test out the full School of Design career program before committing, this is absolutely the right way for you to start. You can get access to most of our course material in addition to booking sessions with one of our instructors to see if it’s right for you. 

It could also be the right fit for you if you are looking to learn design at your own pace and a career transition isn’t your immediate priority right now. 

You cannot receive the same immersive and hands-on support as the full School of Design career program with the School of Design On-Demand subscription, but you can access a lot of the course material and learn at your own pace. 

No, you must either upgrade to School of Design full career program or apply to Portfolio School once you have achieved visual design proficiency. But the good news is you receive a tuition discount (see the pricing table on the School of Design On-Demand page) if you upgrade to either career program.
