Besides your commitment to get stuck in and a degree of some patience  (IT issues and small hiccups can sometimes occur from time to time but, usually get resolved quickly) we hope you find classes  interactive, engaging, stimulating, fun and  most of all rewarding.

Since you will be studying remotely (distance learning) or from home, there will be a certain amount of equipment that you will need, to undertake the course successfully.

These are as follows:

-A computer or laptop desk book

-PC or Mac is fine, the course runs on any operating system. GoToMeeting itself functions like any other internet website; no special requirements are needed to run GoToMeeting. You will however, be using graphics software throughout the course. These software’s require a minimum amount of system requirements to run smoothly and efficiently.

-System requirements to run design software are:

–Windows Users: Intel® Pentium® 4 or AMD Athlon® 64 processor (8 RAM minimum) or higher specification

-Microsoft® Windows® 8 or Windows 10 or above specification

-Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation and access to online services.

–Macintosh Users: -Multicore Intel® processor with 64-bit support, -Mac OS X v10.7 or 10.8 or above

-Internet connection and registration are necessary for required software activation, membership validation and access to online services.
