How long is the course and what is the schedule?

The course typically runs for about 2 months and includes a dedicated freelancing module at the end. Sessions are scheduled on weekends or weekday evenings to fit around work and studies, and new batches open regularly. You can choose a batch or 1-on-1 format.

Do I need any design experience or expensive software to start?

No prior experience is needed, the course is beginner friendly and starts from the fundamentals. You will need a computer that can run design software; we work primarily in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and will guide you on options, including free alternatives, so you can follow along.

Can I take this online or does it have to be onsite?

Both options are available. You can join online from anywhere in the world, or attend onsite at our Islamabad location. The teaching is mentor-led and hands-on in either format.

What will I actually build during the course?

You build real, portfolio-worthy work throughout, including edited and composited images, logos, a complete brand identity, social media creatives, and print-ready designs like flyers and business cards. By the end you have a portfolio you can show to clients or employers.

Will I get a certificate, and does it guarantee a job?

Yes, on finishing the course and its project-based assessment you receive the NUEXUS Graphic Designing completion certificate. It verifies the skills you demonstrated and is job-focused, but we do not guarantee a job or a specific income. What you earn depends on your portfolio and effort.

Does the course really help me start freelancing?

Yes, the final module is built around earning as a designer. You learn to set up profiles on platforms like Fiverr and Upwork, write proposals, price your work and communicate with clients. We prepare you to start taking on paid work, though your results will depend on your own practice and consistency.

How much does the course cost?

Pricing depends on your region and the format you choose, such as online or onsite and batch or 1-on-1. For current fees and available batches, please contact our team at nuexus.com/contact or enroll at nuexus.com/trainings.
