Vicki Sheridan - I had reservations about learning this way but that went the moment I started my first assignment. After only a few months I gained the confidence to start looking for work experience while still working full time in a completely different industry. That's the wonderful thing about this course, you can make the change over gradually even if you are in a different industry altogether. My dream is finally coming true!

Steven Perlmuter - I chose The Design Ecademy [because] first and foremost I needed a program that could work around my schedule. One of the best parts of the course is being able to take what we have learned from a lesson and apply it. I did not foresee my working in the field this early. The knowledge I have gained has been tremendous…and, I would not have been able to do it without Maria Flynn and The Design Ecademy.

Julie Maujean - I enjoyed working in the industry so much I decided to further my knowledge but was worried about the long hours if I studied and worked at the same time. I found with The Design Ecademy, you can study at your own pace in the time that suits your lifestyle and existing work load. Anyway, the course is so interesting you will always have time for it!! I encourage anyone to enrol without hesitation.

Kimberly Sutton - As I travel quite a bit, I researched programs that afforded me the flexibility of home study. The best part for me was the project-focused structure which gave me the perfect skills, practice and confidence to run my own design business. I am so happy with the program. Empowering yourself to follow your passion is priceless.....I am feeling both aligned and confident with my career direction now.

Mark Smith - I love learning and take a new course every year. I enrolled purely for personal satisfaction but as a result of taking this course I have already started working in the design industry and I’m planning to switch my career completely within the next year. I’ve taken lots of online courses and to sum up my experience with The Design Ecademy in one word it has been Exceptional. Thanks so much guys.

Stella Munene - After searching many online design courses I found The Design Ecademy. As an online course, it allowed me to apply my skills as I was studying and running my business at the same time. Each assignment promoted learning and allowed me to thoroughly explore my creativity.

Sounds cliché but this course changed my life. The Design Ecademy rocks!

I have learned a great deal and I’m truly looking forward to even more exciting possibilities as I continue with the second stage of my study while building and expanding my portfolio – which is one of the greatest advantages. Thank you all so very much.

Mary Holmes - I thoroughly enjoyed the course and found it hugely beneficial in developing the tools to take me to a professional level.

I have a whole new lease of life and a career which is not only rewarding and interesting but allows me to make a difference to people's lives.

Charlotte Comber - It sounds really cheesy, but I love everything about this course. The combination of technical and creative topics is the perfect mix for me.

I love finding out more and more about it everyday.

Imani Patel - This course is totally under-priced, enrol before they realise! I failed to complete an online design course but really wanted to pursue this so when a friend recommended The Design Ecademy I decided to try again.

Laurence Meyer - I am the mother of 3 kids and because of the international career of my husband, I needed a school which offered flexibility and would be recognized abroad, particularly in the USA, where I live now.

It made us realise how much knowledge we gained from this course. We would highly recommend it.

Wendy Casey - I was a Vice President of a large American bank in Luxembourg. After completing the course I now write a monthly magazine column, which has proved to be excellent advertising for me as I also deal with private, individual clients and with companies.
