Testimonials:
"Helpful learning for the job search preparation and building up your resume. Very helpful in starting a new business and having your own website. Thank you for this opportunity to take those three courses online."—Idajet C.

"Very good, straightforward content that addresses not only common networking tactics but also areas of particular challenge, including introversion and the inability to network in person. I wish I could make this course available for some of my clients."—Carol P.

"This was probably the best online training I have ever experienced. The various teaching methods - videos, charts, straight text, multiple choice questions, and the game show - were so much fun and made the training go quickly. It kept things interesting, and I enjoyed it thoroughly."—Christine S.

    Frequently Asked Questions

      Lifelong learning is critical for designers, and as design association, AIGA wants to help both design professionals and the profession. We heard from our community that professional development is valued more than anything else. We also learned from our research efforts that there are some non-design specific competency gaps that designers would need to close to best position themselves to advance their careers and the overall profession. AIGA is here to help with the launch of a new pilot program that offers courses for the creative professional. We will continue to improve and build on this initiative with a lean approach, along with your support and collaboration. We encourage you to join the pilot program and please share your insights as we aim to continue listening, learning, and improving this new membership benefit.

      In partnership with the leading online learning platform, MindEdge, AIGA is offering courses that will help creative professionals identify business needs and grow future goals. MindEdge has a comprehensive catalog of professional development courses and certificates for busy professionals.

        During the pilot rollout, all learning will be asynchronous.

Our goal is to share additional resources and offer optional activities to help customize the learning experience to your specific situation. As part of the pilot program, we will offer a few optional live sessions to meet/greet other learners and learn in action through conversations with your design peers.
