About Us

We have been in existence now since 1988. We are currently located in Los Angeles and Orange County, California. Included on this website is a description of the courses in our program. There are seven classes total in the program (the 6th class in the series is for writers only and the 7th is for Art Directors only) and each class runs for a semester that goes for nine weeks. We meet one night a week, which will be determined each semester depending on our teachers’ schedules (classes are held on a week night Monday-Thursday from 7-10pm, we don't teach Fridays or weekends). There are four semesters a year: fall (starts late September), winter (starts mid to late January), spring (starts mid April) and summer (starts late June).

If your goal is to finish a portfolio, we advise that you complete the entire program of classes. Each class is designed to prepare you for the next. So any single class may not be enough to be able to build the kind of portfolio you’ll need to get a job in today’s market.

We do not currently offer on-line courses, though it is a future possibility for those who do not live in the Los Angeles area.
