Intake one
Early
2027
Students will be notified well in advance of start dates and any accompanying dates. There will most likely also be full days in Agencies and visits so you will have enough notice to plan around this.
What it costs
£400
That's it. 24 evenings of briefs, ideas and making.
2 free places
Every intake. For people who'd be good at this but couldn't do it otherwise. Tell us why you want to be here, what you're interested in, and why you think you'd make a good creative. Send this as a separate document.
Things people ask
Do I need a degree?
No. We don't ask for one and we won't check. The test is the only thing that gets you in.
I can't draw. Is that a problem?
No. Stick men are fine. Plenty of good creatives draw like a six year old. We care about the idea, and we'll teach you enough to get it across.
Copywriter or art director?
You don't need to know yet. Most people work it out soon enough. Lots of us end up doing both.
Can I keep my job?
Yes. It runs two evenings a week, so you can fit it round work.
Is there a job at the end?
We can't promise one, and you should be wary of anyone who does. What we can promise is a book worth showing and a room full of people who hire juniors looking at it.
Can I use AI?
Not in the test. On the course you'll see the tools agencies use, but the thinking has to be yours, because that's what gets you hired.
Am I too old?
No. We'd love a room with a 19 year old, a 45 year old joiner and someone who's just left teaching. It makes the work better.
Where is it?
Glasgow. You will be working in a nice college with facilities, heating and comfy seats.
Who's it for?
Anyone who wants into advertising and hasn't found the door yet. It's also for people already in the industry who want to sharpen up.
