How the Online College of Art & Design Works

Students receive access to their own online studio where they can work through their course. Units and assignments are listed along with supporting resources, video tutorials for skills development, step by step guides video recordings of our LIVE interactive lessons etc.

Live interactive weekly online classes are taught by a friendly, expert and qualified teacher who will push students to succeed. This way of working is unique to our online curriculum.

Photographs of students’ completed work and assignment documents are uploaded to their college e-portfolio for assessment and constructive, friendly written feedback on how to progress is offered. Additionally students are invited to discuss, with an experienced and qualified personal tutor, their progress and receive one-to-one verbal feedback and support. Students may also benefit from relationships with their fellow online students as they can view profiles and comment on each others’ art work if they wish.
