Here is a review from our Star Student this year Declan Goodby
Since I left college, I've always known I'd go back and do something that I'd enjoy, when I realised what that was. I found this course for a Foundation diploma in Art and Design and since joining I've never regretted my decision.
Doing this course online was perfect for me as I had a full time job that took a good 40-50 hours a week and I was still able to do the work and get incredible feedback to make the work a little bit better each time. Since doing this course I feel that my knowledge and understanding of art and design has improved massively, I have produced and shown several portfolios of work to universities, and even obtained an UNCONDITIONAL OFFER from my chosen uni because of the help and guidance from this course, overall I'm extremely satisfied and enjoyed my time with OCAD even through the hard parts. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone wanting to further there education in art and design as if does include every aspect from the start. All the best Declan Goodby

I'm not going to write about the course because I'll know how well it and I got on in the upcoming weeks.
However the support that I received was all I could have hoped for. Honestly since the beginning of my education I've had an incredibly love-hate relationship with all my previous art teachers. However maybe it's because these tutors trusted me to challenge myself or simply believed that enforcing their artistic views down your throat doesn't amount to any good, in fact for me that teaching method has only fostered anger. These tutors are open minded and more than willing to encourage you to follow a path they themselves did not, without belittling or antagonizing you. I was allowed to grow naturally, the occasional prod to get me moving in the right direction but hey, that's what tutors are for.
Praise is best received from the people you respect, so thank you. For everything.

The course is very professional, And it makes every student develop his or her skills step by step, makes us experiment with different materials and medium, and also teaches perfection in whatever we do. Very Satisfied !

Foundation diploma was perfect for getting back into art after a brief hiatus. The online nature of the course is ideal for mature students and those with work and family commitments as you can work the hours that work best for you. Tutors are on hand and always very swift to get back to you with help and advice. This proved to be the perfect entryway to university for me and tutor Anne was incredibly helpful every step of the way, both with the foundation course and university applications. Would definitely recommend!

Has been the best choice for me it has made me open my eyes and learn to be creative and I could fit this around my life. the course is set out in a great way and allows you to discover and explore. The tutors have been good with advise and help. Glad I found Ocad. X

Tutor Heidi Babb takes over 2 months on average to grade my son's work. After much chasing she is extremely rude in her replies saying that my son is not as valuable as her iGCSE students (he is a KS3 student). My son submits work 6 - 8 weekly and today we have received an extremely rude message from Ms Babb demanding to know where his work is after a month. I have had enough of the despicable way this woman treats us, her rude and dismissive attitude and the excuses she gives for such appalling behaviour. This is the final straw. Avoid this company unless you like being treated with utter contempt.
