Pacific Design Academy

I took the Graphic Media Design program and graduated in 2012. Pacific Design Academy appealed to me because the size and feel of the building and classrooms felt comfortable for me, and the location was convenient. PDA also updates it’s curriculum as often as every semester, thus keeping up with the ever-​changing technologies and culture. The instructors are passionate, experienced professionals in their fields who for me felt more like mentors.
My class had 13 people from very different walks of life to collaborate with and learn from, and we were always encouraged and supported to participate during class. I graduated with a well-​rounded portfolio to be proud of, and knowledge in more subjects than I’d imagined going into the program — non-​violent communication, conceptual thinking, and social media marketing to name a few!
Soon after graduating I landed a full time Junior Graphic Designer job with a local consulting firm that has me designing report templates, project logos and branding, presentation boards, brochures, signage, print and web advertisements, and more. I can’t believe I get paid to do what I love!
I recommend Pacific Design Academy without hesitation to anyone who values: small classes, hands-​on real world learning, constant interaction with passionate instructors, a cutting edge curriculum, and engaging classroom discussions.

What a joke. Waste of your money and their programs are not even accredited. Teachers don’t show up and don’t put in the effort and the software they use for the interior design school are not even what the industry uses. Your better off going to BCIT — it’s cheaper and a better quality program.

WOW… Really rude female answering the phones there!!! I would never have anything to do with this place… Wish I could give ZERO stars!!!
