About Us

Our Mission

The Design Ecademy have enrolled students in over 17 countries, helping them to achieve standards of excellence through distance learning that has frequently been described as “impossible”. Our commitment to providing quality training programs has resulted in unique teaching and student support systems that produce unparalleled results. In short, students on our courses consistently produce higher quality work, achieve at higher levels and in a shorter period of time than conventional wisdom suggests possible. The continuing achievements of our students and the professional recognition and external validation of our programs is testament to the quality of our courses.

Course Development

In the late 1990’s a unique group of individuals with various backgrounds in training and education, design and even business and systems development, came together to form The Design Ecademy. By pooling this complimentary yet diverse range of talents, we have been able to develop a range of courses that are setting the standards in today’s design industry. A similar design process is followed in the development of each of our courses, in which each detail of every course is skilfully planned and prepared – to ensure the results are consistent and that students have everything they need to achieve success. We don’t believe in excluding people and we offer excellent training and qualifications to anyone who wants to learn. Our students continue to excel regardless of their background or previous education.

The Beginning

The year 2000 marked the beginning of a new millennium and it was also the year that The Design Ecademy burst onto the scene. In the late 1980’s and early 1990’s cognitive psychologists and learning specialists had already been commissioned by governments to study ways to improve learning, and a number of independent reports had been produced. One significant report for the US Government concluded that most educational programs focused entirely on curriculum, and while the content was clearly important, a number of changes in the delivery and assessment structure could impact students learning potential and dramatically improve student achievements. These recommendations were first made over 15 years ago and educational institutions have been extremely slow to respond, until now…

Dedicated to Education 

In brief, The Design Ecademy has grown out of the passion and dedication of design and educational professionals who wanted more; by fully preparing design students to take on active roles in the design industry and helping them to achieve their fullest potential, both practically and creatively. We don’t just teach design, we encourage each and every student to access and nurture their own natural sense of flair and creativity. We also teach the technical and practical skills necessary to translate those design ideas into reality. So if you are serious about a career in design or if you simply want to learn from the best, then we invite you to review our prospectus and take the next step now to designing your future...
