Are these classes pre-recorded videos or live mentor sessions?

Every session is 100% live and instructor-led. We do not sell pre-recorded dummy courses. While you do get access to class recordings for later review, the primary instruction, sketching feedback, and software troubleshooting happen in real-time.

Will I build a portfolio during the course?

Yes. Portfolio development is mandatory. You will not receive your certification until your final projects—which include rings, earrings, and complex necklaces—are graded and compiled into a presentation-ready format.

Can I join from the UAE, Singapore, or other international locations?

Absolutely. We have dedicated batches designed specifically for international timezones. You can attend live classes seamlessly, and your original physical ISO diploma will be couriered to your international address upon graduation.

Are these programs suitable for absolute beginners?

Yes, our Manual Design course is perfect for beginners, taking you from basic line weight to advanced gouache rendering. For Procreate and MatrixGold, basic computer literacy is required, but we teach the software strictly from scratch.

What tools or software do I need to begin?

For Manual Design, we will provide a comprehensive list of stationery. For Procreate, you need an iPad and Apple Pencil. For CAD, you need a Windows PC capable of running MatrixGold. Our technical team assists with software setup.
