You've got questions. We've got answers.

Why was Keyline’s Digital Communication Design course created, and what makes it unique?

In 2012, after more than a decade of shaping the design industry through corporate training and consultancy, Keyline identified a growing shift towards digitally connected workflows. Our corporate design partners needed a new type of designer, one who was multi-skilled, practically trained, and able to thrive in environments demanding a diverse range of digital communication skills.

This insight led to the creation of Keyline’s Digital Communication Design course. Still unique in its structure and outcomes today, this one-year programme was designed to meet the evolving needs of the industry. Since its launch, we have trained and successfully placed hundreds of learners into dynamic and rewarding design careers within leading design companies and in-house design departments.

What makes Keyline special?

Compared to conventional tertiary institutions Keyline Graphics offers a unique learning environment where you receive individual attention and experienced mentorship. We are committed to your success which is only limited by your commitment to yourself.

What facilities does Keyline offer?

Keyline Graphic’s Training Centre is a specialised learning and working environment equipped with state-of-the-art Apple Macintosh hardware and the latest versions of industry standard digital design software.

To ensure that each student receives the highest level of individual hands-on tuition, each course runs with an average of only 15 students, with their own dedicated workstation for the duration of their course.

Learners will have access to the training facility to use resources & to work on exercises and assignments after lecture time and on Saturdays.

Will successful completion of the course prepare me adequately to enter industry?

Yes, successful students enter the industry as junior DTP operators, web designers, front-end web developers, and more, and become more marketable as they gain experience.

Keyline was the first Durban based training centre to be awarded Adobe Authorised Training Centre status, the professional standard of international recognition for Adobe training partners.

Do I need to be artistic to make a career out of what I learn?

You don’t have to be a suffering artist eating canned beans to be creative.

An understanding of traditional and contemporary artistic techniques will help to create a design style for a computer graphic artist, but most students develop their style using the software and techniques they learn during the course.

A number of job roles need visual co-ordination skills and a flair for attention to detail through observation, with little or no need for pure conceptual or drawing skills.

Do I need my own computer for the duration of the course?

Time is built into the course for students to get exposure to the practical computer applications as each student is assigned their own computer in class. However, having a computer at home, with the appropriate software, allows you more practice time after hours.

Do I need previous experience to do courses at Keyline?

A Grade 12 pass is required and, although no previous intensive computer experience is necessary, basic mouse and keyboard skills are required.
