REVIEWS ABOUT SVC
ROMAN PROKOPCHUK
I liked the systematic education provided by SVC the most. You are taught not just to press buttons in programs, but above all to think, how to find unconventional solutions. Impressions from training are good. It's cool that you learn from people who are a head taller than you.
During my studies at SVC, I realized how much I had underestimated myself before. After school, I feel refreshed and aware.
New perspectives will open up to you, from which you haven`t looked at design. Non-standard and original methods given by mentors ignite the desire to create. Learning has changed me inside and out, my thoughts and everything around me. I began to look at the world more thoughtfully.
Graphic design: Intern/ Junior/ Senior
I used to perceive design as something aesthetic, with one function: to attract attention or convey a simple message. After SVC, the design turned into a multifunctional thing. Working with the client, I take the position of a partner fighting for the interests of the business.

WHAT IS A REVIEW?
Viewing is a slice of learning success in a course. Once a month, each of the students has to show all their achievements for the past period and receive high-quality criterion feedback from the teachers and mentors of the course.
It is also an opportunity to compare one's own success with other course participants, to become more confident in oneself and one's competences, to learn to justify one's own choice and to increase the level of professional awareness.
