Meet the team
Whylearnwithus?
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.
Critique on every piece
Your work is reviewed and you redo it — the step self-learning usually skips.
Real briefs
Logos, posters, social posts and print jobs written like a client would write them.
Print and screen
Files prepared correctly for a Hoshiarpur print shop as well as for Instagram.
Portfolio by the end
You leave with a portfolio of finished work, not a folder of exercises.

Certification
Whatyouleavewith
Finishing Basic Graphic Design puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Course completion certificate
CertificationAwarded when you complete the Basic Graphic Design programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
Project completion certificate
Live projectFor the live project you build during Basic Graphic Design, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Internship letter
Industrial trainingTake your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.
See internship training
Illustration — ask to see a real certificate at the centre.
How the paper is used
- Add it to your CV and your LinkedIn profile alongside the work you built.
- Keep the project with it: the certificate says you finished, the project shows what you can do.
- Bring it to interviews — our placement support helps you present both.

Howwediffer

At most places: Varies from course to course.
Placement support
