The approach used in teaching by our instructor is really a great one, that allows everyone to be carried along, for some of us who have never designed before, we can say today after 10days that we can conveniently do a very nice design. I sincerely appreciate USADF, LSETF and everyone involved in making this training experience an amazing one for all of us.

Gafar Usman Graphics Designer

This is a mind blowing, challenging program cos it has took my design skills to the next level. I now see designs from a break down point of view instead of one entity. It is really awesome and kudos to everyone involved in setting it up. Thank you

Daramola Oluwatobi Graphics Designer

Olatunji Olaniyi Graphics Designer

It is a nice one, really appreciate this Golden opportunity, it is really awesome one and I'm forever grateful for it, my testimony is within a week of the training, I have been able to make cash with canva, the design that usually take me hours to come up with coreldraw, did it with 1hour on canva and i got paid, I feel myself and well appreciated to the sponsors. With the exposure I gained, my mindset has completely changed.

Olumoye Aduragbemi Designer/Freelancer

I just want to appreciate the organizers & sponsors of the Design school for the opportunity to be a part of the Design School 2021. I have been an entrepreneur with zero experience in the professional sector, I thought I might be able to cope but coming to Design school has made me aware of how far have come with my self-development. And now, I have moved from Zero-knowledge in Graphic designing to a 5 and still working on becoming better. A lot to be said but I will stop here. Thank you
