I just recently graduated from the WDC program at Victoria School of Business and Technology. Small class sizes, highly knowledgeable instructors and a super friendly /professional atmosphere makes this course stand out from the others. I was most impressed by the wide range of course content. The instructors would show you the basic starting points of learning each new software or task. Then an opportunity to explore ideas and create (kinda feels like just around playin on the computer!). After getting familiar and comfortable with how things worked, skills would then be applied as needed in the Web Design industry. Overall the WDC course was more than I ever expected! Thank you VSBT and NorthStudio.com! Haimish McPherson |

Students will be encouraged to develop their own style and work methods and will have plenty of time to use all the things they learned in the classroom. We have many students requesting internships. All VSBT students will be given priority in seat availability.
