Concept Interactive, the digital design school

Founded in 1992, Concept Interactive is Cape Town's leading digital design college, providing internationally accredited and recognised training.

We offer full time courses, part time courses and customised training in both the technical and creative aspects of print design, web design and motion graphics.

Increasingly the industry requires its designers to be flexible and possess an ever wider range of technical and creative skills; a designer may be called upon to design a poster one day and a website the next. We believe in equipping our students with a variety of skills so that they can respond to the challenges of an ever-changing marketplace. In other words, multi-skilled, original thinkers who can make real and positive contributions to our society and culture.

The Mission Statement

In close collaboration with our industry, and by continually improving the skills and resources needed for offering locally and internationally recognised certification, aligned to the relevant South African National Qualifications Framework and Unit Standards, plus access to the latest professional technologies, we aim to develop a pool of creative talent from which the visual communications industry worldwide can draw.

Our approach is simple; what, why, how.

What: Design is essentially about problem-solving. We place an emphasis on the practical skills required to solve problems. Real-world projects and live briefs give our students the experience they need to advance their abilities and ideas.

Why: We encourage our students to question, to debate, to examine trends and to think creatively. This enables them to gain an understanding of the context of their work within the wider economy and the design industry.

How: Our students are exposed to cutting edge technology and up-to-date studio techniques.
