Which London Illustrator Class is Right for Me?

You have several options when it comes to learning Illustrator, so we’ve chosen 2 of the best London courses from the top 3 training providers to help you make your decision. But even so, with the variety of considerations including cost, duration, course format, starting level, and more, choosing the perfect course still isn’t that easy.

Here are the key questions you should ask yourself before enrolling in an Illustrator course. We hope you’ll find the best option based on your learning preferences and goals.

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.

Beginner Courses

If you’re new to Illustrator, there’s no need to fear. We’ve found 2 beginner courses, with costs ranging from $790. The top options open to beginners include:

Adobe Illustrator CC - Part 1 @ New Horizons ($790 | 2 Days)
In-person in London
Adobe Illustrator CC - Part 2 @ New Horizons ($790 | 2 Days)
In-person in London

Note that beginner courses still typically assume basic proficiency with computers.

Which class format (in-person or live online) works best for me?

In London, you can choose to attend Illustrator courses in-person or live online.

In-Person in London

If you prefer to learn Illustrator face-to-face with your instructor, you have three schools to choose from in the London area:

New Horizons located at 2 Eastbourne Terrace in London. We found two Illustrator courses with prices ranging from $790 and class duration ranging from 2 days.

Please note that due to COVID-19 some providers are temporarily offering online training only. Check with each provider for the latest status on a school’s in-person reopening plans.

Live Online Training from Anywhere

Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. 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 0 of the best live online Illustrator classes we found:

When are Illustrator classes available?

It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For in-person training in London, the Illustrator courses we found (shown above) are only available weekdays. For those with busy schedules looking for evening or weekend courses, these live online options offer flexibility:

Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

What type of learner am I?

When learning Illustrator, there are a variety of learning goals you can achieve, including getting started or adding to existing skills.

To find the perfect fit for you, it’s important to determine what your training goals are. Here is a breakdown of the variety of courses and learners.

Committed to Getting Started

If you know you need to get started in Illustrator but you’re not quite committed to learning it comprehensively, these courses will get you started with hands-on skills you can use right away. Many schools offer the ability to continue learning with intermediate-to-advanced courses, and some offer package discounts. All these courses are open to beginners.

Skill-Advancer

For those with some familiarity with Illustrator looking to advance or add to their skills, these courses provide those with experience the perfect opportunity to skill-up.

Learn More About London Illustrator Training

Along with Photoshop and InDesign, Adobe’s Illustrator is an essential program in its Creative Suite that designers of all kinds must master. Illustrator is considered the standard in many industries and can be used for graphic design, logos, illustration, mockups, and packaging design.

Whereas Photoshop is a pixel-based software, Illustrator uses vector graphics to create its high-quality images. The advantage of vector graphics over pixels is that these images can be resized without becoming pixelated, or blurry.

Illustrator’s wide variety of applications includes everything from icons to fashion designs, and its proponents range from Digital Designers and Web Designers to UI Designers and UX Researchers. If you plan to succeed in the design world, Illustrator is one of the most essential tools you’ll need in your arsenal.

Illustrator Careers in London

London attracts millions of people each year, from tourists visiting several European countries to tech professionals seeking career opportunities. Beyond the glamour and glitz, though, London offers numerous positions to design professionals with Adobe Illustrator experience.

While Graphic Designers need basic HTML skills along with their Adobe Creative Suite expertise, Visual Designers use tools like Adobe XD, Illustrator, and Photoshop to create their digital design elements. These positions often pay well, and certain industries reward designers more than others.

Many London companies seek professionals with Illustrator skills in addition to experience in related areas like Motion Graphics. Recent online postings in the Greater London region for Illustrator careers include titles such as Junior Motion Graphic Artist, UX Graphic Designer, and Senior Marketing Artist/3D Designer.

Graphic Designers in London earn around £30,000 each year. Meanwhile, Digital Designers can expect to make about £40,000 and UX Designers bring home an average salary of £51,000. The most lucrative positions requiring Illustrator experience often demand InDesign and Photoshop chops as well, or tools like Sketch, After Effects, and Adobe XD. Whatever your design career path, Illustrator remains a foundational skill.

In-Person Illustrator Classes in London

Some schools offer virtual coursework, while others provide courses that take place in a traditional classroom setting suited to those who feel they benefit most from in-person training.

Currently, only one school in London hosts face-to-face classes in Adobe Illustrator: New Horizons. Their Adobe Illustrator CC Parts 1 & 2 are each two days long, and offer training in Illustrator fundamentals like creating graphics and customizing shapes, as well as complex tools for formatting and image enhancement. If you want more intensive InDesign training, consider an online course or bootcamp.
