What are online one-to-one lessons?
Does remote learning work?
One-to-one lessons mean having the undivided and uninterrupted attention of your own teacher. Remote learning enables you to study graphic design from anywhere you want albeit the home, the office, a friend’s place or wherever else. In this way learning online is not only practical and convenient but also easier on the easier on the pocket avoiding travel costs back and forth from school. Not only can students themselves attend their class from anywhere in the world, but our expert tutors based in London (Shoreditch) can be brought to your screens in our specialist virtual classroom. Blue Sky Graphics has been teaching graphic design for over 10 years. Our success comes from a proven teaching style led by expert and industry leading graphic design tutors. Our one-to-one virtual classroom has enabled us to become the successful graphic design school that we are today! Read about us here.
With current innovations in teaching technology our virtual classroom brings our expert tutors to your home through the internet.
At Blue Sky Graphics we are proud to have over 38 different nationality students enrol to date (and still counting) with each student being supervised by the guidance of their very own specialist tutor.
Besides remote learning enabling students to study from home, many have preferred to study from the comfort of their own home and the time flexibility in their week. The sofa or garden table tends to be more comfortable than a college desk. Moreover money and time can be cut and saved as the cost of commuting from home to college or school is avoided. We found that a lot of our students are time poor and have either full time or part time jobs and so for them studying online has practical advantages juggling work, personal lives and study.
Distance learning is one of the best ways to learn graphic design skills, and many other skills at the same time. When you have children, families, jobs and friends it can make it very hard to attend a standard university and online courses really make it easier to further your career. Whether you have a busy job, children or even everything combined you can still take courses in graphic design on your own time. Plus, there are literally dozens of different careers you can do with these skills. So what are you waiting for?
In the United Kingdom we are proud to be the biggest online one to one graphic design course provider and our student’s success rate is 98% – check out our video here (a bit of our magic). When it comes to distance learning, Blue Sky Graphics brings all of the skills you need to learn in order to be a successful graphic artist to you. The problem with most of the generic graphic design courses is that they are not designed to make the designer successful and often teach unneeded information. When it comes to graphic arts, Adobe programs are the most common. These include Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
How long does it take?
Each course lasts 9 months and 90 minutes each week with your tutor through distance learning, but every single lesson takes place remotely in your own time and space-even from the comfort of your sofa or home office. Within 9 months you will have built a industry standard portfolio and certificate in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
How much does it cost?
Every course is priced at £1499.00 for the entire 9 months which includes your portfolio, homework set and assessed and certification. There are affordable instalment options available on our website
With all our online one-to-one courses you do not have to worry about being scammed because each course is actually taught by a real graphic design artist who teaches in their area of expertise. All teaching staff have been subject to enhanced DBS checks.
Within a few months you can gain very valuable skills in graphic design with distance learning done from your own home or office. Most importantly, it is done in your own free time at your convenience.
Another advantage of remote learning is the ability to take a multi-modal approach, learning step by step operations on the computer and then repeating these steps, writing them down until your tutor instils into you everything needed. This will be fun, challenging and once you master Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign you won’t want to stop all the creative and quirky images you would have created.
WHAT ARE YOUR 3 TOP TIPS FOR LEARNING GRAPHIC DESIGN ONLINE?
- Interact and familiarise yourself with the virtual classroom, test your tech: internet and audio and speak to the tutor since their knowledge is what you want and need. Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions or an overview of the subject in the course introduction. Particularly if this is your first time learning online, email and build a relationship with your teacher as you’ll be with him or her for 10 months. Tutors are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.
- Designing is creative and therefore do not be afraid of making mistakes! Have fun with your own work and make mistakes since in context it is all part of the learning. Test what you are learning at in the classroom and during homework time. Do your homework each week and show your work to family, peers and colleagues and ask their opinion. Show your work. Finally, accept criticism. Improve based on that criticism. Surround yourself with ideas and inspiration.
- Make time for your homework. There is a point why you are given it in the first place and the school ultimately rely on your success which makes them in turn successful. They want you to be the best and the most successful students are those who are constantly doing their homework, asking questions and not being afraid. That goes for any form of study but is particularly important for online learning.
