"“The Creative Futures Academy arrived at an ideal time for me. I had just finished a four-year honours degree, for which I was still paying. Covid-19 lockdowns were in place. I could not possibly have started taking a Master’s degree. I saw a LinkedIn post about applying for short courses on the IADT website. As I have qualified in multimedia journalism, the Data Visualisation Certificate seemed ideal – held online over weekends in two semesters. The time commitment was perfect. I have learned what standard is expected on a Master’s course, while gaining ten credits which I can put towards a degree in future. I am much more likely to take another degree, having started on the journey. This is an excellent way to gain specialist creative skills, which can be used alone or lead into further studies. The qualification looks good on a CV, enhancing my technical capabilities, and has many practical applications in website, business or research work. I can highly recommend the Creative Futures Academy.”"
