Welcome to the British Design Academy (BDA).

At the BDA, we don't just teach, we encourage you to access and nurture your own natural creativity and gain confidence whilst developing skills. Be it learning how to design spaces to live, work or play in; trendspotting and forecasting, from catwalk to couch; or creating written content for industry blogs and social network feeds, the BDA has a microCourse for it!

We also have a range of WorkLabs to help develop your technical and practical skills. From learning computer apps, including AutoCAD, Sketchup, Photoshop and InDesign to take your presentations to the next level, to getting your business up and running by enhancing your marketing and entrepreneurial flair.

Set up to fit around busy schedules,with the class-room based learning delivered on weekends or evenings, the BDA offers a flexible programme which is fun and inspiring: from 1-day taster sessions to 9-month intensive diploma courses, from evening workshops to residential weekenders. And all led by accomplished professionals: designers, makers, entrepreneurs and business leaders... ready to pass on their experience and skills to help you get creative!

So take a look. Sign up. And come along. Joining the British Design Academy could be one of the most inspiring things you've done in a long while!
