Counselling & demo class
Design is learnt by making things and having them critiqued. Every module here ends in a piece of work that the trainer reviews with you, line by line and layer by layer.
Your work is reviewed and you redo it — the step self-learning usually skips.
Logos, posters, social posts and print jobs written like a client would write them.
Files prepared correctly for a Hoshiarpur print shop as well as for Instagram.
You leave with a portfolio of finished work, not a folder of exercises.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
A practical skill to add while you decide on, or continue, further studies.
Fits alongside a degree, with weekend and evening batches covering the same syllabus.
Skills you can bill for, plus the delivery habits clients expect.
Enough hands-on depth to build, brief or evaluate the work yourself.
A structured route in from another field, with guidance on how to position the move.

The stack you work with in class and in the live projects.
Finishing Adobe Illustrator puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the Adobe Illustrator programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during Adobe Illustrator, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.

How the paper is used
The roles Adobe Illustrator prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.
Talk about placementsMost Adobe Illustrator courses cover a similar syllabus. What separates them is what you build while you are there, and what happens after the last session.

At most places: Varies — worth asking whether you finish with work you can show.

What the call covers
Counselling and the demo class are both free.
It is a single-software course at our Model Town centre on Adobe Illustrator — vector drawing, colour, typography, logo and icon design, and print-ready artwork for stationery, labels and branding.
Students after 10th or 12th, college students, freelancers, business owners who want their own branding, and anyone moving into design work.
No drawing skill or design background is needed. Basic computer use is enough.
They do different jobs. Photoshop edits photographs; Illustrator draws logos, icons and artwork that must stay sharp at any size. Start with whichever your work needs — many students take the other straight after, or join Graphic Design for both together.
Both are vector tools. Illustrator is the standard in agencies and for branding work; CorelDRAW is what most print shops in Punjab run. The drawing skills carry across, and your trainer can advise which suits the work you are aiming for.
2 Months, across 4 modules and about 32 sessions. Weekday and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, so choose the timing that suits you.
Classes run at the techcadd centre in Model Town, Hoshiarpur (Inside City Center, near Bus Stand, Model Town, Hoshiarpur, Punjab 146001), and live online. Both cover the same material, so you can switch if your schedule changes.
Yes. You receive a techcadd Hoshiarpur certificate for Adobe Illustrator after completing the course and its final assessment.
