Going to Shillington was hands down one of the best decisions of my life (and I'm not being dramatic, it really was). When I decided to change career paths, I didn't have the time or patience to go back to university and waste another 3-4 years of my life, so Shillington felt like the right fit for me. I learnt an invaluable set of skills and graduated with an amazing graphic design portfolio in just 3 short (but intense) months! The college and the briefs are set up in a similar manner to a design studio, which really prepares you for the 'real world'. But Shillington is so much more than that.
As a student and graduate, you become part of an incredibly helpful and supportive community. One that has continually helped me find new jobs, new clients, new colleagues, and learn new skills years after I've graduated. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better community to be a part of and it is safe to say that it would’ve been near impossible to get to where I am today without Shillington.
Enrolling at Shillington Manchester has been one of the decisions I have made in my life. The teachers are fantastic and I felt fully equipped to enter the design industry following my graduation armed with the skills and portfolio to apply for Junior Graphic Design roles. I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about training in Graphic Design and does not want to embark on a three year University course. The student to teacher ratio in class time is fantastic and as a student you receive so much support...I can't believe how much I learned within the 3 months, it was so so worth it.
It was an unforgettable experience! I took this course on because I wanted to dive into Graphic design, and Shillington had everything I needed. I recommend this course to anyone who doesn't want to do a degree and get into the industry faster.
Studying was an amazing experience; it's a really creative and encouraging environment to learn and develop your skills in, with an excellent and consistently relevant course delivered by lecturers who are both knowledgeable and fun. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to create an industry-quality portfolio and begin a career in design.
