Créapôle ESDI Review

I am enrolled in evening classes to learn DTP "Illustrator". Our graduate teacher from CREAPOLE is really competent, friendly! I can't wait to register for the Visual Communication course ...

Really bad school. Some teachers are not motivated, arrive late, lose the work of the students. No right to use the computer in an amphitheater to take notes (all on paper). No freedom, and very closed-minded, which is contradictory for a school of creation. They only think about taking your money, and once it's done, they don't take care of you anymore. They promise many activities and courses that will never take place. They are liars and thieves. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL! What is more, they are supposed to help us find internships but in reality they prevent us from establishing our own network and place us in companies that sometimes have nothing to do with creations.

School that has its strengths but also weak points .. the preparation does not prepare really technical level, you are given projects (interesting and professional) but you have to learn everything by yourself so it's a bit of trouble. You have to be motivated and get the best out of it. Some sections are more interesting than others including transport design and product design. The administration is difficult, they take the first years for children instead of empowering them, there are also many young people neither motivated nor mature.
I ended up changing schools for my greater good.

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.

Too many unnecessary lessons when we could concentrate on the most essential
forbidden to computers in lecture halls which is a shame

Too easy guy. This school is not the most expensive shool of the market and is the only one of your carreer !! Too easy to break eggs on our school, we are all over the world and we are all over the 5 continents. Please, what is the use of criticizing a school that has prepared so many students for more than thirty years and that has value our know-how: to criticize is to attack all those who graduated; Thank you for not damaging what we put 5 years to build; all the best, Jules

School starts again soon. I look forward to it. Discover the new subject! This is my 3rd year, so it's the internship!

I think that CREAPOLE is a school in tune with the professional world. The management associated with the creation makes it possible to understand the expectations of the companies and thus to be operational, credible at the exit of the school. Moreover, each student must convince a jury of professionals to validate his curriculum and obtain the diploma. I find that having teachers who are also professionals in activity prepares us better for the jobs that await us compared to public schools. That's it, all in all you just have to go and visit the school, which exhibits the students' creations all year round and judge for yourself. :)

lol you talk about "graduates results" ? They just got second in the interior motives design awards like 2 weeks ago. It s just the most prestigious international automotive design award.
Btw no spaniard or belgian didn't even get shortlisted.

School to flee if you want to enter MODE section !!!! As for the school in general: there is no BDE so no student life, the school is lifeless. Moreover, students have no advantages compared to other schools. Too many amphitheater lessons of little use and interest that eat up a cruel time on the general courses. Regarding the fashion section: incompetent coordinator who obviously does not know anything about fashion, parade end of the year whose director does not go crazy and wants to fund absolutely nothing so it is the students who must fight for that it takes place, only half of the sewing machines work so hard to work at school, not enough dummy for everyone, no sewing material made available to the students of EVERYTHING to buy. In short, a horrible year overtaken by only two competent teachers. (2018-2019)
