Frequently Asked Questions
Can I take multiple courses?
Absolutely. Many students complete Fundamentals before progressing to specialized courses like Brand Identity or Advanced Visual Communication. We encourage sequential learning that builds capabilities progressively.

Schedule a consultation to discuss your current skills and goals. We'll recommend appropriate starting point based on your background and objectives. Many students benefit from beginning with Fundamentals regardless of prior experience.
Are courses available on evenings or weekends?
Yes. We offer flexible scheduling including evening and weekend options to accommodate working professionals. Specific timing is arranged during enrollment to fit your availability.
Do I need to own Adobe Creative Suite before starting?
We provide access to software during class sessions. However, owning your own license allows practice outside of class time, which significantly accelerates skill development. We can provide guidance on student licensing options.
What happens if I need to miss a session?
We accommodate occasional absences through makeup sessions and supplemental materials. However, consistent attendance proves important for capability development, especially for hands-on practice and critique sessions.
