How will it help me
You don’t need to spend time deciding which drawing or painting app to download and then finding out how it works. This course has done the groundwork for you. Whatever mobile you have - Android, iOS or Windows - once you know how one app works, you’ll find others work in very similar ways. Spend more time painting and less time finding out what your app can do.
You will be required to complete each lesson in full, and answer exams at the end of each course module. If your pass rate exceeds 55% on each exam then you are eligible to access a certificate of achievement or other accreditation options to recognize your achievement.
