THE AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF CREATIVE DESIGN

WHERE CREATIVE PEOPLEBECOME CREATIVE

PROFESSIONALS

As ONE of australia’s leading creative colleges, the australian institute of creative design is transforming the lives of creative people by offering them a proven pathway for career development.

With a long, proven history (over 10 years) of consistently delivering remarkable courses, the Australian Institute of Creative Design has clearly conveyed it’s strong heritage in cutting-edge creative education and establishing it’s position as one of the most desirable and acclaimed creative design colleges in Australia.

The results speak for themselves—such as Raquel Wys winning the ‘Aspiring Young Women in Business’ Award, Jessica Schmidt writing for Style Magazine, Shannon Doyal scoring a role at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Festival, and Kate Charchalis working as the creative consultant for DISSH—just to name a few!

What is also truly exceptional is our trainers’ personal passion and absolute commitment to providing pathways that lead to career success for our students. Our trainers are successful in their own right and are able to pass on specific knowledge, network and incredible industry opportunities (such as recent student work experience at Vogue Magazine, a 3 million dollar interior design project and THREE Hollywood blockbuster movies) that many other colleges just can’t offer.

And with such a broad variety of much-loved courses in Arts, Fashion Design, Fashion Business, Styling, Photography, Makeup, Beauty Therapy, Interior Design and Graphic Design, there’s just no end to the possibilities!

“I have learnt so much and gained so much confidence. It has been an amazing journey — AICD has given me so many pathways

and opportunities.” CHONTAE, GRADUATE
