I chose I-Pixel as it seemed to be the online school offering such a comprehensive course and it completely exceeded my expectations. The course is fast-paced and intensive, so you need to be willing to work hard, but it is also creative and challenging so if you are passionate about design and want to be immersed in it for a few months then it’s a great place to learn.
Highly Recommended! I took the Adobe Illustrator short course from I-Pixel, it was so informative, and the tutors are so engaging. I’m so glad I opted for them. Currently enrolling myself in their Adobe Photoshop course to learn even more!
I came away from I-Pixel with a portfolio that I am really proud of, technical skills and confidence to go out into the industry and look for work. So, all in all, it was a very positive experience for me.
The standard of teaching is very high – the teachers definitely make the course fun and engaging. They are all very knowledgeable and I found that they went above and beyond to support me and ensured that I was getting the most out of the course.
Chen is an amazing teacher, happy to go through the stages with you at your own speed. Very professional, clear instructions throughout the course, happy to answer any questions, willing to sit down with you and show you what you need to do then watch you do it and help if needed. Overall amazing and outstanding course here at I-Pixel, I highly recommend it!
