Training from top pros in UX, design, advertising, marketing communications and letterpress

I want some hands-onlearning.

The advantages of
humans, rooms, and hands.

SVC is all about hands. You get hands-on training. Your instructors are old hands at their field. And you’ve got to hand it to live instruction where the instructor can stop, re-explain, and make sure you’re truly learning.

There’s another big plus to taking a class or workshop on marketing, design, UX, coding, or Adobe programs at SVC: You’ll be in the same room as your fellow learners and an actual expert — a smart, living, responsive human being.

So, in addition to getting up-to-minute knowledge, you’ll also get to know instructors who are well-connected. So there you have just a few of the things that make SVC a great option for learning hands down.

Basics of Brand Strategy

Every facet of marketing and design is now driven by one, overarching concern: the brand. For in-house and agency marketers, designers, copywriters, and project managers, this means your contributions to communications, product development, internal culture, and more must demonstrate a fluency in the principles of brand strategy.

Custom classes and group discounts for smarter businesses.
