 English and Design Certificate Course
Writing and conversational English for Design and IT professionals.
New Image College invites students of all ages to unique English language program – writing and conversational English for Designers and IT professionals.

Much attention in this course is devoted to the special graphics programs that are used in the design industry and the implementation of design projects using these programs.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to work independently on projects for English-speaking businesses and individual customers and to communicate fluently in English on professional issues.
Course language - English. Teachers - professional designers working in Canadian companies who have extensive experience in teaching these course.
