Every business needs a creative whiz who can handle the company's day-to-day graphic needs. Completing the Digital Graphics certificate is a great first step for any working professional who wants to enhance their résumé and become the office's 'go-to' graphics whiz. Mentored by award-winning design educators, two different courses are offered each semester at convenient times to more easily accommodate busy school and work schedules. Enrolling in just one or both courses each term gives you dedicated time to learn, practice and advance your Adobe Creative Cloud skills.

High school students can earn college credit while still in high school by completing one, two, or all three NICC graphics badges: Graphic Imagery, Graphic Layout, and Motion Graphics. Earn all three badges to achieve a formal certificate in Digital Graphics and 18 hours of college credit. Contact high school partnerships to get started.
