What level should I start at?

Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.

Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19. Here are 7 of the best live online Graphic Design classes we found:

UX Design Course @ General Assembly ($4,500 | 60 Hours | beginner)
Visual Design Course @ General Assembly ($3,500 | 60 Hours | beginner)

Career Changer

You’re not only committed to learning Graphic Design comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career. While securing a new career is not guaranteed, these courses provide in-depth training in Graphic Design. Many offer job support and some offer a money-back guarantee. Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.

Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training. And due to the steep prices (some courses as high as $16,450) many programs provide financing options. See financing notes below but always be sure to confirm with the school and read the terms and conditions. Not all applicants are admitted and approved for financing.

Here are a couple “career-changer” programs. All the programs include career services (see the provider’s website for details on what is included).

Graphic Design Course @ Shillington School ($13,950 | 3 Months) available in-person in London or live online
The course provides job support and comes with a money-back guarantee (see the school’s website for terms and conditions).
UX Design Immersive @ General Assembly ($16,450 | 12 Weeks) available in-person in London or live online

Learn More About London Graphic Design Training

Graphic design combines technology with artistic talent in myriad ways. Whereas graphic design traditionally referred to print layouts like those found on billboards and in magazines, today’s graphic designers use a variety of software programs to create logos, graphic elements, full-scale advertisements, and much more.

Learning graphic design can set the stage for a lucrative career. Professionals with graphic design training include Digital Designers, UI/UX Designers, and Design Directors who manage a team of designers. These tech pros gain expertise in tools from the Adobe Creative Suite like InDesign, Photoshop, XD and Illustrator. Some learn Mac-centered programs like Sketch as well. Graphic design doesn’t necessarily involve video or website design, but many designers also use software like Adobe’s Premiere Pro and After Effects.

While you’ll need multiple skills to succeed, in-depth training in these versatile software programs can give you a leg up in the highly competitive graphic design field.

Graphic Design Careers in London

London is the capital of England and the U.K., and one of the most visited cities in the world. From its gothic architecture to its world-class museums, London has something for everyone. Because there’s so much to see, design pros here equip themselves with the tools they’ll need to create attention-grabbing images, logos, and graphics. These may include the Adobe Creative Suite, Apple’s Sketch, and others.

Careers in graphic design vary in London, and some fall under related categories like motion graphics or UX/UI design. Job postings in the area, however, show more of the need for straightforward Graphic Designer positions, ranging from Junior Graphic Designer to Senior Graphic Designer, and Senior Creative Designer. Companies as diverse as Burberry, Live Nation, and Lululemon all need Graphic Designers on their creative teams.

Graphic design is an in-demand field, and these positions can pay well depending on your focus and expertise. Digital Designers and Visual Designers are among the most needed roles. While those holding the title of Graphic Designer see an average salary of approximately £30,000, Digital Designers can look forward to annual earnings totaling around £40,000. Positions that combine design experience with management skills, like Design Director, are among the highest-paying roles in the field.

If you plan to have a career in a visually creative role, learning graphic design principles and essential tools is essential for your continued success.

In-Person Graphic Design Classes in London

Only two schools currently offer in-person graphic design training in the Greater London region: General Assembly and New Horizons. The New Horizons courses are Adobe-centered and include training in Photoshop and InDesign. General Assembly’s design offerings are more varied. They host a short User Experience Design Bootcamp, as well as longer courses in Visual Design and UX Design. All classes are open to beginners.

For those seeking more options, consider enrolling in a live online bootcamp or certificate program.

Virtual Graphic Design Classes

While some design students look for in-person classes, many more avail themselves of virtual live coursework. Online courses are hands-on, interactive, and immersive. You can get real-time answers to your questions, and the instructor can even see and control the screen, with permission.

The originator of this tool, Noble Desktop, hosts a variety of virtual live bootcamps and certificate programs relevant to graphic design. The most popular program for design students is their Graphic Design Certificate, a 72-hour immersive experience that covers design fundamentals, the Adobe Creative suite, and the development of a professional portfolio.
