Creative Design School (reviews)

I was struggling to find the right graphic design course until I came across the Creative Design School. Straight away, I realised this was the perfect course for me. I was looking for a course I could do online that was flexible and would work around my everyday life. I was impressed by the modules and what they covered, and that you get one-to-one tutor support throughout the course. I also needed help with building a professional portfolio, which this course covered.
I would highly recommend this course. I have learned so much from covering design briefs and how important it is to use a journal, and so much more. I now have a professional-looking portfolio. My tutor, Pete, has been amazing with great advice and support throughout the course.

When researching which course to take in order to get started in learning graphic design, I didn’t find any other school quite like Creative Design School. The one-to-one tutorials are perfect for someone, like me, who is starting with no experience in this field. Flexibility is built in to the course structure so I can easily work this course around my full-time day job. My tutor, Pete has become a mentor to me; he is happy to share his wealth of experience in the Design industry. It is clear that he genuinely cares about steering his students towards success. I completed the Logo Design and the Becoming a Freelancer short courses and I look forward to starting the Brand Identity and Corporate Design Specialist course in the coming weeks. I would highly recommend taking a course or two with CDS.

I really enjoyed my Graphic Design Level 2 course and even signed up to another course with CDS when it was finished.

The modules were interesting and varied and my tutor Pete was extremely helpful and patient in taking me through the course. The one-on-one time you get with CDS is something not a lot of other courses seemed to offer. Pete provided me with really valuable insights and tailored our tutor sessions to my time, progress and interests as well as the areas in which I needed extra help.

It was great to see the progress I made over the months I was studying and I really appreciated the flexibility of the course which enabled me to work at my own pace and around other commitments. I would recommend this course and CDS in general to anyone thinking of moving into graphic design professionally, or even those who just have an interest in design or want a creative outlet.

I started my Advanced Graphic Design Course after going to university. I studied in more of a Fine Art background, so I felt it would be useful for me to actually get a qualification in the work that I was already doing as a graphic designer in order to feel more confident in myself and my decisions.
It got all that and then some! I never really thought it would be possible to feel great about every project I do now but I really do, because I figured out my process as part of this course. Now things are less subjective – making me more comfortable with my decision making and the client happier too.
It was really helpful to have an industry expert as a tutor and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my course.
