Overview

Shillington College started off life in the 1980's as a Sydney-based graphic design studio. As an employer, Andrew Shillington sought to hire talented young graphic design graduates but found it increasingly difficult to find those with high-end computer skills, a practical knowledge of design theory and could meet challenging deadlines. It soon became apparent that students leaving schools, TAFEs and universities were not adequately trained in today's world of computers and design software. And so Shillington College was born.

Shillington's lecturers are all passionate design professionals and the course is constantly updated in order to keep in line with the ever-changing industry technology and trends.

Shillington's campuses are located near major transport hubs in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in Australia, London and Manchester in the UK, and New York in the USA.

The intensive full-time courses is run over three months (Mon-Fri from 8am to 5pm) and the part-time course is run over a year (two evenings a week from 6pm to 9.30pm). The is also a 16 week Masterclass in Sydney and Melbourne for practicing graphic designers (Saturdays from 8am to 5pm).

Mission Statement

The objective of Shillington is to create a positive and inspirational learning environment in which students are taught relevant industry skills, ensuring they have the best possible chance of employment as a graphic designer.
