My experience
My Shillington experience was incredible. Every day working on new challenging briefs that taught me specific skills I needed to be a graphic designer but while learning in a way that is identical to what I encounter now, Skills that I use day in and day out I really wouldn't be where I am today without it. Since Shillington I've worked as a designer now for 5 years and loving every second, freelancing for companies like the BBC I couldn't recommend Shillington more. - ElanaGraphic Designer • Graduate • (NY) Full-Time Graphic Design Course • New York CityVerified by LinkedInJan 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Amazing!
Moving to New York and going to Shillington was one of the coolest / best decisions I have made. The course as well as the connections you make will last a lifetime.
Before going to Shillington I had minimal experience working as a designer, and had a dream to become one. In less than a yer from graduating I now work as a design studio I only ever admired.
The curriculum is so hands on, the teachers are exceptional and every member of the staff cares for you, and conne...

As a creative person, I was always interested in design but I never knew how to become a creative myself. I found the course a total life changer it opened my eyes to a creative industry that I had always wanted to be involved in. Shillington gave me the tools and the direction to showcase my creativity, my talented teachers and peers gave me the drive to succeed within the industry- Jai LukeGraphic/Content Designer • Graduate • (AU) Part-Time Graphic Design Course • MelbourneApr 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life changing!
What an experience! I started with no technical adobe suite knowledge and a heart full of passion and excitement, and finished with a working knowledge of Adobe Suite, a group of amazing people I can now call friends, a portfolio of work that I am proud of and a creative support network. The course is full on and a lot of hard work, but because I was keen to expand my skillset and push myself to rise to the challenge I thoroughly enjoyed every step of the way.

Sydney Shillington Experience 2019
I attended Shillington College of Graphic Design at the Sydney campus in a full-time capacity which was an exciting decision for me. I completely did a 180 from working full time after many years to studying full time. I was unsure of how it would all turn out but looking back can advise it was well worth diving in and meeting liked minded new friends and entered a new community.

I completely did a 180 from working full time after many years to studying full time. I was unsure of how it would all turn out but looking back can advise it was well worth diving in and meeting liked minded new friends and entered a new community. We all quickly discovered how hard we would work but it saw us produce a large variety of creative and fun projects. We had fun always along the way and learned so much from each other as we all had different abilities and it was truly wonderful to discover different methods and techniques and evolve our designs within a supportive environment.
To compile our own portfolio, in the end, was a pleasant way to conclude the course and reflect on all the work we had achieved. I was happy to discover my creative side through all the projects and the information resources were amazing and relevant /up to date. I appreciate (during the course), designers presenting and now after the course all the inspiration it is endless!!! I would highly recommend this course to anyone seeking to discover their creative self, the entire experience was special and I won't forget my time there, thank you :) - VanessaFreelance Graphic Designer • Graduate • BrisbaneMar 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
One of the best decisions I ever made!
I choose Shillington for my design education based on its reputation and flexibility to study part-time. My experience at Shillington was extremely positive and my design skills and confidence in my abilities improved dramatically. By the end of the course, I made the decision to switch to a career in design full-time and found a job one month after graduation with my Shillington portfolio. - RosieGraduate • (UK) Full-Time Graphic Design Course • LondonMar 23, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Life-changing design course.
Through the Shillington design course I changed careers from being a lawyer to becoming a graphic designer in 3 short months. I was proud of my portfolio and was able to get a job and job interviews quickly. It requires hard work and focus, but the teachers and the school back and support you 110%. It was one of the best and most inspiring experiences of my life. Shillington gave me skills and courage to follow my dream! - Oyinkan K.Student • (NY) Full-Time Graphic Design Course • New York CityJan 06, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Worth it!
I left Shillington with a broad knowledge of design fundamentals, history, principles and technical skills. The truth is, you can’t learn everything about design in 3 months, but after Shillington, I feel confident in my design skills, my ability to generate creative ideas and most importantly, I know how to ask the right questions and learn what I don’t know yet.
