It’s an intensive thing. At the end of<br />
the course students have a physical portfolio<br />
that they can take to interview and<br />
a personal website. I also offer a year of<br />
support for their job search. Our focus<br />
is on employability and we’ve had a 90%<br />
success rate so far.<br />
I ask them to read ‘The Fundamentals<br />
of Typography’ before they start.<br />
Other than that, there are no prerequisites.<br />
If you complete these projects,<br />
you’ll be equipped to get a job in design.<br />
As long as you bring enthusiasm, an<br />
interest in the subject and total commitment<br />
to the course.<br />
It costs just under £7,000 but there<br />
are more contact hours in the three<br />
months than there are in a year at art<br />
college. By the time they’ve finished,<br />
students have presented their work seven<br />
or eight times to leading industry people,<br />
so no one is going to scare them.<br />
