As long as you’re very comfortable using a computer, you’re good. Beyond that, we’ll teach you the design programs from the ground up.
You’ll need the Adobe CC student subscription (available ). This subscription includes all the programs you’ll learn during the course.
Each lesson is delivered in a video recording where you’ll hear the instructor talk while you view what she’s doing on her screen. You can pause, rewind and rewatch.
The lessons come with files used in the lesson (also included on the USB drive or online) so you can try out the skills on your own. Most lessons also have homework assignments, which are similar to those a graphic designer might create as part of her job.
You’ll have access to the course videos for 2 years.
Yup! We have two packages so you can choose the one that works best for you.
Online Package: You’ll receive your course login information by email within 48 business hours of registering. Your student portal will contain:
Plus contact information for any questions; we’re here for you all the way.
USB Package: Your course materials are packed into our signature stylish folder, including:
You need a computer with (at least):
We also recommend email or internet access if you plan to send in your projects for comments.
For the USB package you will need a Windows computer, since the video files we send aren’t compatible with other models. (Sorry! You can still watch the videos online and get all other files by USB.)
The course could take you anywhere from 3 months to a year. It can even be done faster, depending on how intensely you pace yourself (but remember: you’ll also be dealing with the usual lineup of tests and reports from school…). Most students complete 1-2 lessons with projects per week.
When you sign up, we’ll work with you to create a personalized schedule so you can pace yourself properly.
Glad you asked. 🙂 Support is one of the hallmarks of BeTeen courses. We’re here for any questions you have, including 5 months of support and project feedback. (OK, that’s not really accurate. We actually answer our graduates’ questions way after they finish the course, too!)
If you’re salivating at the thought of learning advanced design software and creating epic projects, getting in touch with your creative side and finding an outlet you’ll love… you won’t think of this as learning. It will be your downtime after a long day at school; you’ll probably find the videos and assignments a fun escape.
Can’t relate? This course might not be for you. Find something you love!
This course is faster and funner than our Career GD courses. You’ll learn how to create a variety of projects and you’ll definitely be able to create cool designs for school, personal use, family etc.
If you decide graphic design is what you want to do as a parnassah, our Career course will massively boost your skills and take you to the big leagues. GD Teen grads who sign up later receive an exclusive $500 discount!
We would love to get you started.
