Who the course is for

The training is designed for people starting without design experience or an established client base. It also suits service providers changing direction, stay-at-home parents, multi-passionate creatives, recent graduates and self-taught designers who want a more structured client process.

Showit’s drag-and-drop builder is used throughout, so coding is not a prerequisite.
