Students are assigned their own personal tutor for each course they enrol on. Tutors will help and guide students through their course and answer any questions they have during the course itself. All of our tutors are professional, working artists and tutors. Why not pop over to our tutors' page to get to know them and see examples of their artwork.
Bonus Video Library Content
All students with online access can view our unique and exclusive video library made especially for our students. The technique videos are supplementary to the courses. Tutor Paul Weaver, a well known artist in his own right, teamed up with a film maker to create videos for the college. Our students can access the videos 24/7 to utilise and learn from. Login to the Art Room to view the videos.
Art Competitions
We run multiple art competitions throughout the year for our students. We hold a yearly competition for students to enter one piece of artwork they have created, which is judged by our tutors at our annual tutor conference in October. We then run smaller competitions for all students to enter with a set brief. These are in Cartooning, Illustration and Photography. There are prizes! You can view many of our previous years entries, finalists and winners on our competitions page at the link below.
Student Honours List
Every student who completes their course will be awarded a certificate sent to each student in the mail. There are three grades a student can achieve - Pass, Merit and Distinction. Your tutor will keep notes and grades during your time on the course and will calculate your grade on completion. Students who receive a distinction are listed in our honour list. Check the link below, your name could be there soon!
