1-Star Review for The British Academy of Graphic Design

This so-called “academy” is an absolute joke.
I finished my final assignment in February 2025 and didn’t receive my certificate until October - eight months later - after being constantly ignored and fobbed off with empty promises like “you’ll get it next week.” The level of disorganization and lack of professionalism is shocking.

The course itself was a complete waste of time. Instead of teaching actual graphic design, it was full of generic nonsense about “teamwork” and “money management.” Nothing about it prepared me for real design work. Now that I’m studying a genuine degree in graphic design, it’s painfully clear how useless this course was.

Save your money, your time, and your sanity -The British Academy of Graphic Design is a scam dressed up as an education provider.

Graphic design is an incredibly powerful and important industry to study and become a part of and this company has successfully sucked all the creativity and joy in studying this subject.

There are so many better companies to give your money to. Please do that!

The support and advice provided by Alastair Strong was exceptional.

I am really enjoying my Graphic Design Certificate. It is informative and challenging. The feedback is encouraging but still honest.

The course platform was super easy to follow and understand. The tutors were great and very responsive.
The content of the course was clear, creating simple building blocks to continue learning and practicing with the graphic design principles and elements.
The assessments were varied in nature, which ensured you were always engaged and challenged in a new way.

Very much enjoying this course , quite intensive , but you definitely feel you are increasing your knowledge / ability & learning so much about the Design World , the main players past & present , & particularly the opportunities arising from CAD .

The course is very straightforward and easy to understand.
The tutors. Fiona Kensington and sam baker are brilliant and very helpful and supportive. Thanks to them my efforts are paying off

Started my course a couple of months ago and wasn’t sure what to expect but I’m really enjoying it so far. The course is clear to understand and the tutors are quick to respond, very friendly and helpful.
Highly recommend! Best life choice I’ve made in years!

As someone who hasn't studied art since GCSEs the British Design academy provided me with an excellent course that took me through the basics to designing my own portfolio.

The course was delivered online, but there was plenty of support and encouragement along the way. I can actually see the improvements in my work. It is definitely value for money for anyone from those with even the mildest interest in Graphic Design to those like myself, considering a career change.

Very flexible, helpful and kind staff.

Very helpful in every situation especially adrea many thanks to her

its really efficient to be able to study whenever you are able to. also the material to study are both comprehensive and concise.

Every time I needed support, they responded quickly and were very helpful. All the tutors have been amazing!

After receiving a diagnosis wherein I’d need extra support from the team to enable me to study effectively, Andrea from Student Services has been nothing but understanding and helpful in the process of working through and passing on my concerns and ideas for the personal support plan I’m going to be receiving. It is so wonderful to be considered and valued in an educational space where I have previously struggled so much and it has given me optimism for continuing my course.

I like that the training covers all topics of graphic design. Teachers always guide and advise.
