The help we received from DWC was beyond professional. It was a personalized experience that facilitated the seamless collaboration in designing and launching our website. I couldn't have asked for better support. All the questions I asked as a novice were answered. I will continue to utilize DWC as a support service for all my future needs.

Great experience on my way to my frist certificate program
Adrianne S.
I took the Introduction to UX Design course. I learned so much and gained proficiency in Adobe Illustrator a program that has plagued me throughout my career. I would definitely recommend DWC to anyone looking to break into UX design or even get a refresher in Adobe or figma.
Ken H.
I have not started any classes yet. I do like the manner of follow-up, support and assistance they have provided in the onboarding process to start classes. I look forward to learning more about Digital Marketing
Jessica R.
I did the UX Design course with Digital Workshop Center from Oct 2023 to Feb 2024. It was a fun and engaging experience. I learned a lot and I look forward to using the experience I’ve learned to future jobs. I took the course from Italy and even though the hours were night/early morning for me, it worked because I have small children. Also my instructor was understanding of the time difference for me. I enjoyed this class and would recommend it to anyone considering it. Especially military spouses or veterans using the VA Benefits.
Andi H.
I took part in the Digital Marketing, Graphic Design, and UX Design certificate programs. The programs are pass/fail weighted mostly in participation. Which takes a lot of pressure off students so they can focus on learning, creating, and fine-tuning their new skills. Or, that’s how I felt. The online class environment was also really helpful in that regard. The instructors were all supportive and seemed genuinely invested in our success. They also offer career coaching sessions which can be really helpful. It’s been my experience that these classes are mainly targeted for beginners. Regardless, there's always things to be learned as each instructor and student has their own approach to creativity and problem solving. Mainly these courses helped me to better conceptualize my ideas and professional goals which was the most beneficial. All in all - all good things!

Great experience learning data science. Live sessions were intense but meaningful. No second was wasted. Mentally you have to prepare for how challenging the Data Science cert is
Brian H.
I definitely recommend their Photoshop classes. Kevin H. Is a great instructor. Knowledgeable and takes whatever time he needs to according to every single students needs. Veterans should def take this if they plan to use Photoshop for anything at all that might make you some money.
Matthew F.
I just finished the Video Design course with DWC and feel safe to recommend any course they offer because each instructor I had was at the top of their field and very very professional. The assignments involved real-world working projects that could be used in your portfolio and the informaiton provided was exactly what was needed to learn or enhance your skills. Every staff member that I worked with were extremely professional, helpful, and friendly. DWC is highly recommended.
Luis C. Z.
Excellent resources, generous opportunity, and high quality instruction.

The best experience I have ever had leasing office space, hands down. Everything was quite efficient and all my questions were answered. Less than 24 hours elapsed from a personal tour to executed lease. Thank you! Now I can't wait to take a class or two to continue to grow some of my tech skills.
Kim B.
Betsy was a wonderful teacher capable of answering all my questions within the limits of Level 1 Access, I look forward to the next level class and would request this instructor again.

Jamilah R.
I've had a positive experience with DWC so far. Liz has been very helpful in providing me all the of the necessary documents to get enrolled. I'm looking forward to learning a lot from my courses this semester.
Curt E.
Due to my wife's ongoing medical needs that keep growing, I had to go back to work to be able to pay the bills. I needed a skill I can do at home. I love flying drones, but I was not so good at making videos. I now believe I will go to the front of the class if I apply myself and learn how to create great eye-catching videos. I am very grateful for getting a veteran scholarship and I am eager to get started.
Alisha J.
I'm happy to say I just completed 2 certifications with DWC: Digital Marketing and Advanced Graphic Design. I needed to update my existing design skills to become more competitive in the job market. These classes certainly delivered!
Shout out to Jake VanNewkirk and Alan Peters who were a couple of my favorite instructors. The staff at DWC, specifically Liz and Ally, were incredibly helpful in coordinating with my workforce center rep to get me through debt-free with a WIOA grant and the Women in Tech scholarship!
So grateful for this incredibly valuable opportunity!
Juliette R.
I've taken a few courses with DWC, and I'm regularly checking the site to see what else piques my interest. The organization is well organized (shout out to Liz!) and the support for making sure students have the access to materials and tech support make this kind of study really inclusive.
Ashley S.
Easy to follow, personable instructor. Doesn't take too much time to complete. Intermediate wasn't as challenging as I had hoped for but then again maybe I don't know my skill level LOL

Digital Workshop Center and it's instructor's (Betsy L. Are/Were Amazing they make there range of courses very friendly and easy to follow along as well as the hands on experience. For those needing a refresher or are unsure or afraid to reach out to Digital Workshop Center for help I strongly recommend that you take that leap of faith I promise you will not regret it.

Andrea C.
Over the years, I've taken dozens of one-off classes, attended various Lunch-and-Learns, and sought out and completed two different certification programs at the Digital Workshop Center.

In that time, I've watched the institution grow and florish, and continuously strive to provide quality education and professional development to those who've sought it. I've never been disappointed with my investment—each time I complete a class or certification, I depart feeling confident in my abilities to put my learnings to good use and eager to return for another course.

I always look forward to seeing Liz's and Stu's friendly faces; their professionalism, guidance and communication is excellent. They are always eager to assist you, whatever your level or expertise and goals.
Lora W.
The instructors are professional and knowledgeable about the courses they are teaching. They are also very patient with those who have no prior knowledge of the subjects. I’m in the certificate program and new to web development and am surprised at how in-depth the classes are. There are no cutting corners or skimming the subjects. They dive well into the subjects and cover a lot of material.
Cody S.
Just finished up a great course on Microsoft Excel. The Instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and patient with all of his students. i walked away with a new appreciation and great insight for the time tested software that will help me "excel" in my career. Thanks Stu Crair and the Digital Workshop Center.
Steve M.
I built some modern custom planters and dividers for the DWC designed in house. The crew was easy to work for and the staff was super professional. I really enjoyed working in the space. The place is clean, modern, useful, and I met several new friends and increased my network of business contacts. Worth a drop in to see for yourself.
Lindsay N.
Digital Workshop led a great advanced excel course for my company. The instructor was knowledgable, and made class entertaining. Definitely worth the time spent!
Juan Lewis I.
What a productive class. Valuable knowledge taught in an engaging, easy to follow way. Fast or slow, what made it great was that whatever your pace, your skills were usable immediately. I always left with some new skill to improve my work, some alternate method to try, something tangible and demonstrable to show for the time. I have to assume that whatever the subject, they probably steer all their students this way.
Nina M.
Very happy with our customized social media marketing training. Would recommend them and would take more courses with them.
