  • Marketers, photographers, and other professionals looking to add Photoshop to their skill sets.
  • Designers who want to refresh on or learn Photoshop for digital design.

This certificate program is for anyone who wants to learn design apps (such as InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator), develop graphic design skills (learn about color, composition, etc), and start building their design portfolio. It’s a good fit for:

  • Those who want to get started as a graphic designer.
  • Anyone who needs to create graphics or marketing materials for businesses.

  • Designers who have been away from the design field for a while and want to get back to being hands-on with the design apps, update their skills, and create an updated portfolio of design work.
