Review of Créapôle ESDI

I graduated from Visual Communication in 2005. Yes...

I graduated from Visual Communication in 2005. Yes, it dates. Only, you have to know something: the teachers, from the 2nd year are specialized freelance. So they teach you stuff that a classical academic can never show you, because he will not necessarily be aware of the latest trends in the market. Then another thing: everyone, both teachers and the administration tells you that for a designer, working for free is not only shooting himself in his own foot, but also in that of his future colleagues. And in 14 years of business, I saw young guys just out of school who did not even know what a quote, a purchase order and an invoice. Not to mention the fact of selling off or accepting to be paid in "visibility".
In short, no one is perfect, and CREAPOLE is not a perfect school either, but it's worth it, from the moment you like what you do and grow accordingly.
P.S .: I am a freelance D.A. since 2005. First freelance contract obtained: GAN-Groupama. Guess how? Yes, by school.
