The Digital Design – Apprenticeship Style program prepares students for related employment in the design industry. Students in the program will gain practical experience in industry by working-part time in a company on real world projects while completing an accredited college diploma. Graduates of the program are capable of the creative aspects of designing and producing flexible digital and print media, including websites, e-publications, applications, and interactive/multimedia products for public, non-profit, and corporate clients.

We have collaborated with industry partners to create a unique diploma program in the fields of Digital Design, to equip students with the essential skills and competencies. The apprenticeship learning model allows students to engage in real-world projects alongside employers starting from Term 2. Please note that meeting the requirements of each term is essential for a successful progression within the program. To be eligible for the apprenticeship, students must simply register for all courses in a term and achieve a passing grade. It is also important to have a good understanding of the prerequisites and co-requisites for each course in every term.

We understand that the apprenticeship program might present its own set of challenges. However, we want to assure students that if they find it too demanding, there is always the option to transition to the regular Digital Design diploma program. We recommend making this decision by the end of Term 1 to minimize any potential disruptions to your academic journey.

Remember that completing all remaining courses in the regular program is necessary to meet graduation requirements. Our academic advisors are here to support you throughout this process, offering personalized guidance to ensure a smooth transition.
