Training at PixelCraft is the best decision I have made for a career in Graphic Design. Having had no knowledge in this field before, 12 weeks of high quality tasks and lectures has given me confidence and has helped develop such skill from which I could enjoyably pursue my future as a Graphic Designer.
Pixel Craft has an amazing Graphic design course in Durban which is highly informative and easy to understand. The instructor was very passionate about graphic design and was able to instruct and teach us a great deal of work in just a small amount of time. The atmosphere in the classroom was professional and fun. Attending a course at Pixel Craft is highly recommend and you will not regret it.
From not knowing any of the designing software and principles to the knowledge that has been imparted to me now, Pixel Craft is an absolutely amazing institute from lectures to course material presented in the most professional manner. Your every need and question with regards to increasing skill in graphic design will be fulfilled. I recommend Pixel Craft Training college to anyone who would like to make a career out of Graphic & Web Design
At Pixel Craft you don't attend the lectures to just learn a skill. You go with a goal in mind, like starting up your own business. Pixel Craft is all about learning you more than just the basics. It will fully prepare you to step into the graphic design world, with a bunch of extra information given on top of the usual lecture notes. And that's what makes this course worth taking!
A well organized college with enough course content to get you going as a professional designer. I enjoyed every bit of it. I recommend it for anyone, any age. The diversity opens up and balances your mind, which is also critical in design.
Pixel craft training could not have been better at teaching me what I’ve learned. It is an interactive course where you learn what you need to fast and effectively.
I’d recommend this course to anyone wanting to do graphic design.
Very well structured course layout, informative and to the point. High standard of lecturing and good quality training. Very enjoyable graphic course design course in Durban, would definitely recommend to anyone interested in what they have to offer
I did a graphic design course at Pixel Craft Training and it was definitely well worth it. You will be guided and advised by a tutor who is highly experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about this field. You learn so much more than what you just get in your notes and for a "short course" it proved to be quite comprehensive.
I completed the Graphic Design Course at Pixel Craft Training.
