Summary

A 132-hour certificate covering the Adobe graphic design toolkit: Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator, taught through projects that mirror real design work rather than tool tours. Design theory and visual principles run alongside the software instruction.

A dedicated portfolio course covers branding and marketing projects and assembles the work into a presentable body, and a closing course covers AI for graphic design. Tuition includes four months of Adobe Creative Cloud access.
