Hired and moving up

New roles, promotions, and raises, sometimes before graduation day.

The classes helped me to talk about improving my skills in interviews and I got a job before I even finished the courses. I didn't know wordpress at all before taking classes and today I'm working and 50% of my job is in wordpress. I didn't have the skills to get this job before Digital workshop.
Brian M.Frontend Web Development graduate
The certificates I earned helped me compete in a very tight job market, leading to a major salary increase when I landed a job. Outstanding return on investment, I highly recommend DWC.
Lexie C.Digital Marketing graduate
I left a previous job to pursue the certificate because I felt like so much had changed in the marketing/communications world since I was in college, and I felt like I needed to catch up.... I was able to apply the concepts that I learned in class directly to my job as a marketing coordinator at my new company. I even used parts of my capstone project to create a published advertisement for the company.

The expertise from the staff has been invaluable for my business growth. Now I'm confident in my skills and completing a successful digital marketing campaign.

What class is really like

Live, hands-on, and challenging in the best way.

Great experience! These programs are intensive. If you really want to learn and re-skill DWC is a great option. I wouldn't have learned the fundamentals of data science if not for this certificate course.
Grace O.Data Science graduate
Great training and classes for real world application. Teachers are very thorough and offer individual support both in and out of class.... The Capstone project really helps understand how everything fits together as an entire skill set.
Richard W.Digital Marketing graduate
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...

The Digital Workshop Center provided a workshop called"AI enabled Performance Management for Leaders for 12 emergent leaders from the East Asia and Pacific region. this workshop was informative, going over AI Apps available, their utility and limits, and discussing responsible use of AI applications. The most valuable part (from my perspective) was that the IVLP coming from different countries and different industries were able to share their in-country perspectives and personal experiences with each other.
Response from the owner:We loved working with BCIV! What a fun group. Thanks for the great review.

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.
Response from the owner:Hi Adrianne! So glad you enjoyed your UX program and learned new skills to propel your career forward. We are excited to see where you go from here!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review of our UX program. So happy that you enjoyed your instructor and your time here. We are excited to see you grow and thrive in the next steps of your career. Whether overseas or back in the US. Stay in touch!

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!
Response from the owner:Andi - Thank you for the great review. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your UX and other programs at DWC. Excited to see where you go next in your career!
