Friends of Design Digital Design Course Packages

Build a 2 or 3 Year Course Package

Rapid advancements in interactive and communication technology has led to greater demands on visual designers and developers, who are now pressured to offer a broader set of skills geared towards producing digital content that can be adapted to a wider range of visual solutions.

In addition, the rapidly expanding web and mobile markets, including television, movies, online video, digital publishing to tablets and mobile devices, has resulted in a greater overall demand for digital designers both locally and internationally.

As such, Friend of Design provides our students with the opportunity to tailor-make a 2 or 3 year course package that suits their career path. This is achieved by combining 2 or 3 one year courses into a follow-on bundle.

All students wishing to package their courses in this way must first begin with our 1 Year Course in Print Design & Publishing.

2 Year Package

From there, students wanting to complete a second year can elect to follow-through into either our 1 Year Course in Web Publishing & Interactive Media, or our 1 Year Course in Game Graphics & Multi Media Entertainment. With this package, students will walk away with 2, individual Higher Certificates – 1 for each course.

3 Year Package

Alternatively, students can also opt to package all 3 courses together, and move from Print Design & Publishing, through to Web Publishing & Interactive Media, and sign-off with G.A.M.E in their final year. With this package, students will walk away with 3, individual Higher Certificates  – 1 for each course.

Prerequisites

You must be 18 years of age or older, you must have obtained a Matric Certificate and you must be fluent in spoken and written English. Previous Art or Design training at a school level is an advantage.
