Overall, I liked the program but the lessons need to be updated to match the current versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign that are being used.

I had thought about a degree in digital arts for a long time but couldn't commit to another BA or an AA degree. The Sessions Professional Certificate has been perfect for me so far in terms of timing, flexibility, and cost. There's a bit of a learning curve at first as you get accustomed to the online format and go through the lessons on your own, but they are detailed, and you immediately apply what you've learned to use in the assignment, which can be a portfolio piece too. My teachers have responded quickly as well. I do feel a bit pressured for time but that's because I work full-time as well. Overall, I am so happy that I chose to apply for this program and fulfill a long-time goal of mine.

I learned so much from this program. Online learning is not my favorite but it was very practical in my circumstances of living in a small town and not having access to a classroom environment. While sometimes a challenge with limited feedback, I think given all circumstances it worked well and I was able to gain all of the knowledge I was hoping to achieve! One thing some of the instructors did occasionally was provide video instruction which was the most helpful when learning new software or techniques for color correction, for example. There is only so much understanding one can gain through reading and following multiple steps without prior knowledge or experience. Whenever they can make time to upload an actual video and explain things in detail, I felt like I got the most from those situations!! Sometimes it felt like make it or break it to understand how to do certain things. I would encourage instructors to do this more often and perhaps develop a library of videos to help with specific aspects of software learning or even camera controls, would be great! Thank you so much for this opportunity. I can't wait to see what is in my future with photography.

Some of the material was easy to follow along with but some of it was hard as well. Not being able to do live sessions on more difficult task is the only thing I didn’t like about it.

I completed the Undergraduate Certificate on Digital Photography. All of the classes I took were relevant to my goals. The professors provided great feedback on each of the class assignments. Through the courses, I gained confidence on my photography skills and gained new knowledge beyond what I was aware or expected. My comment for improvement is the need for an increased use of video for certain lectures and concepts. "Everyone" has video courses on the internet for everything, Sessions should follow that trend and exceed expectations in their courses.

I was looking for a graphic design course which was online, under a couple of years, not too expensive, and with good reviews. I settled on Sessions and am glad I did. Within the Professional Graphic Design Certificate, I was able to study a range of subjects and learn a lot of new skills. I was able to self pace myself yet still have a life! I would say however, that it would be very difficult to complete the course within 12 months as many subjects had 5 or 6 assignments. I discovered (luckily) that I love graphic design and I can see a career for myself in this field (it’s already started in fact). I loved the course so much that I am adding a plus concentration of another 3 subjects to increase my skills.

This was a great experience thank you so much for such a great opportunity. God bless
