The right side of the brain is the seat of our ability for abstract thought. We’ll give you the techniques to unlock it balanced with practical disciplines and a realistic picture of what it’s like to work in the industry.

Led by Jonathan Richards, an award-winning advertising Creative Director with 20 years’ experience, we have delivered courses to leading private and public sector organisations. For the first time, we are making this available to the general public.

SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR IT: Whatever course you take you’ll create a tangible end product – whether it’s a short story, a video, a plan, an interview/education plan, a photo, a portfolio – something you can be proud of.

FOR BEGINNERS: This could be as simple as helping you unblock your creativity; improving your creative thinking and discipline; building your confidence; professional advice or producing a piece of work in your chosen creative field.

FOR STUDENTS AND CAREER CHANGERS: We can help those wanting a serious creative career by shaping your portfolio, giving you advice about universities or colleges and helping you improve your creative skills. With 3 Creative Directors on hand you’ll have exclusive insight from the interviewer’s perspective too.
