For a course to be truly effective and produce valuable results, it needs to be more than just a collection of manuals and assignments. What sets us apart from other training organisations is that numerous subject experts and training professionals carefully design every aspect of our teaching materials and student support systems to ensure maximum learning potential. Students on our courses consistently achieve unparalleled results and the real benefits of our courses
are more apparent on completion, but here is an overview of what you can expect
to receive on enrolment…
Detailed Student Manuals – our detailed course manuals are prepared to the highest standards so that information is clear, user-friendly and visually pleasing. As well as providing the information necessary to complete each course, our manuals will also be an invaluable reference tool as you progress into the design industry. Many also contain templates and sample documentation that can be adapted for professional use.
Audio CD’s – many of our courses are accompanied by audio CD’s in which you will be personally guided by Maria Flynn through key aspects of the program. Maria is the driving force behind Limperts Academy of Design and is regularly featured on TV and radio. Maria has an unrivalled talent for taking complex information and communicating it in a way that is enjoyable and inspiring, and through these audio programs she will undoubtedly motivate you in her inimitable style.
Student handbook & assignments – many training programs use assessments merely as a means of testing skills or knowledge. However, we have applied the latest research from cognitive psychologists in the development of our course assignments, to ensure that they are valuable learning tools in themselves. Most of these assignments are project based, providing you with the opportunity to build an impressive portfolio that you can use with prospective employers and clients on completion of the course.
Your Personal Mentor – all of our tutors are practicing design professionals who are involved with Limperts Academy of Design because they are passionate about design and want to be involved in ensuring high training standards. These professionals are more than mere tutors, they are mentors and they share a common goal - to help you succeed not just by “passing” the course, but by achieving your fullest potential. On enrolment, a tutor will be assigned to you and they will be available to you by phone, fax or e-mail to offer you guidance and encouragement whenever you need it.
Detailed feedback sheets & progress reports – with each assignment you complete you will receive a detailed feedback sheet highlighting your strengths and weaknesses and offering advice on how you can continue to improve. If your grades are low then you will be told exactly what you need to do to improve, and when your grades are high you will be told how and why you’ve achieved them. We believe it’s important for you to know how your work compares to what will be expected in the professional design industry, so that when you are ready you can venture into the design world with ability AND confidence!
An open invitation to become part of a worldwide network – Limperts Academy of Design have enrolled students in over 17 countries and upon enrolment you will be granted access to our restricted student website which will provide you with a wealth of design information & internet resources, lots of visual aids and examples of other students work to inspire you. There is also a bulletin board where you can communicate and share ideas with other students. Student groups in the past have organised networking days and social events throughout the year, and this is a great way to build new friendships as well as your career.
In addition to these, Limperts Academy of Design also host a number of workshops and networking days throughout the year, which give you the opportunity to meet with tutors and students and to concentrate on improving specific skills. These are an optional addition to any of the courses, and all students are sent full details and prices as these events are scheduled.
