D&AD Creative Training Courses

Every year, the D&AD awards identify the most inspiring and innovative examples of creative communication from around the world. And the people behind this work? They’re the creatives, writers, designers, entrepreneurs and business leaders we invite to lead our workshops.

We understand that, no matter what stage of their career, creative people are always keen to learn, so our programmes are carefully developed to meet those needs – whether that’s covering traditional skills such as art direction and copywriting, essential techniques such as structuring presentations, or teaching you how to come up with those all-important ideas in the first place. We constantly review and update workshops to reflect the creative industry’s own ever-changing nature.

D&AD creative training courses are immersive, hands-on workshops, with a focus on learning that actually sticks.

They are led by Pencil-winning individuals at the highest levels of design and advertising.

Open to everyone, regardless of whether you’re a creative or a client, and whatever it is your day job involves, you’ll take away tangible learning outcomes, so you can practice what’s been preached as soon as you’re back at the office.

And if you’re a D&AD Member you will receive 20% off.

We only partner with the best and brightest from the industry, whether that’s a branding buff from an award-winning consultancy, a creative director with decades of experience, or a leading designer ready to revolutionise your approach to digital.

And if you want to go a bit further, we have a bespoke service that lets you tailor our courses to your individual needs. So whether you’re an old hand looking to brush up on your skills or fresh to the industry and ready to learn more, we’ve got something that will be the perfect fit.

From traditional creative skills to cutting edge communication, we cover an impressively broad spectrum of topics, including art direction, branding, ideation, copy writing, digital design, strategy, team development, relationship management, pitching and presenting.
