I went to study for graphic design training courses from the ICS. I didn't regret my choice a bit, because here I got everything I wanted: the necessary knowledge from wonderful teachers, the guidance of professionals, invaluable experience and so much needed communication with creative talented people.
Nancy Sullivan
I went to digital design course, not counting on professional and in-depth knowledge of the subject. However, these courses gave me a complete education. A well-thought-out program and a powerful teaching staff provided knowledge in all areas of graphic design.
Deborah Olson
I have been doing design for some time, but this knowledge was not enough. And reading professional literature does not provide practical skills. I chose a graphic arts course from the ICS after a long time looking at many other educational institutions!!! And I never regretted my choice.
Dennis Cooper
The program training for beginners exceeded my expectations. I did not even expect that in such a short time you can learn graphic design so much. Everything we studied - everything came in handy, no unnecessary items. Many thanks to the teachers!
