If you are looking for a gateway to enter fashion studies or the industry itself, this is a great place to start!! I was given the opportunity to be full in my expression of myself and my work as I was surrounded by like minded individuals who have the same or similar interests and visions as me that have personalities of encouragement and inspiration. This course from start to finish provided me with excellent insight into the Digital Creative industries, including how brands have adapted to use and currently use the Digital era to help distinguish themselves amongst the competition.

Having previously completed a Condè Nast course I had high expectations of the Digital Content Creation course but once again Condè Nast College didn’t fail to exceed expectations. This course has expanded my awareness of digital design and marketing as well as opened my eyes to new and exciting ideas and opportunities. Whether you are a beginner or more knowledgeable person, this course offers value to all. The college has incredible connections creating a high-quality set of weekly live lectures. The course was thought provoking and challenged my preconceived ideas whilst helping me to become more confident in my understanding of this field. Georgia created a beautiful portfolio page on her website talking in more details about the projects she competed while studying with the College.

I learnt a wide range of websites and systems to create different content for social media platforms. My thinking and planning is now much stronger and I can clearly see what types of content would be great to use for a brand to advertise or engage with their audience.

Entry Requirements
This course has no academic prerequisites. It’s designed for anyone wishing to broaden their knowledge of how fashion is communicated and those wanting to explore an exciting and innovative way of learning from academics and experts from within the fashion industry.
Students must be aged at least 16 years old on 31st August at the start of the academic year in which they intend to join this course. An academic year runs 1st September-31st August annually. For the duration of the academic year, a student is considered to be their academic age for admissions purposes, regardless of when their birthday falls within that academic year.
English Language Requirements
There are no formal English language requirements for this course.

Multiple Online Course Bookings
Some students may wish to explore different subject areas and may want to consider more than one online course. To ensure the utmost satisfaction and effective engagement with the material, a maximum of two online courses can be booked by a student per intake. Our online courses are thoughtfully curated to provide comprehensive knowledge and valuable insights. While these courses offer flexibility and convenience through their online format, it is important to note that the content covered in each is extensive and engaging.
In addition to the self-paced learning materials, each course includes a number of scheduled live sessions, but booking more than two courses risks some of these important sessions overlapping. These provide the opportunity to interact with instructors and fellow students, fostering a vibrant learning community. By restricting course selection to a maximum of two, our online students are able to fully immerse themselves in the rich content and take full advantage of these valuable live sessions. We are committed to providing the best possible learning experience, and overcrowding the course load may compromise that experience.
We, therefore, encourage careful consideration of course subject selection and prioritise quality over quantity.
If you are accepted on to the course, you will be required to pay the full fee in advance in order to secure your place.
