Name:  Jacqui Buttigieg

I recently started up my own Web Design business and I can't believe how many people have approached me to build their Web Sites. It's really a growing market out there, even in these times of economic instability. You can view my site at plumrat.com.au.

I have undertaken several Design courses at Grenadi and love the fact that every instructor at the school is still actively involved within their chosen field. You really do get all the assistance you need because the instructors aren't teaching the courses straight out of a textbook.

There's always something happening at the school - be it an exhibition, information sessions or job seeking classes. You really do get the maximum out of your time here!!!

Name: Michael Buckler

Why hello! My name is Michael Buckler and I'd like to talk to you about Grenadi School of Design. No seriously I would.  

Design was always something I was interested in and until I went to Grenadi I never knew how much!

I completed the Diploma of Graphic Design, had heaps of fun and met some really amazing people. 

Things I enjoyed most were the friendly teachers, small class sizes and industry approach to teaching.

Name: Neville Cassar

I am currentlt working as a Senior Designer / Art Director with Network Publications (Malta).

Grenadi for me was a change of life. Before I joined Grenadi, I was a System Administrator and Network technician. Then a once in a life time opportunity happened to me, I got the chance to go to Australia, to visit my relatives.

Before I left Malta, I did some reaseach about graphic design schools in Melbourne.

Once in Australia I got my uncle to give me a ride to the city, and went to check out the school. After a few minutes talking to Rubin, I was hooked.

During the four months I spent at Grenadi, I meet really nice people, whom I can call friends now.  The teachers where execeptional, intelligent  and above all, friendly. The last thing I can is that , if it wasn't for Grenadi, I will not be where I am now.

Name: Caroline Wahlberg

I'm working at UR1 International where I'm one of four graphic designers. UR1 is a company that specializes in photo albums and frames for the major department stores Australia wide and also overseas. We forecast trends in colours, patterns, materials etc for our generic album ranges and work with licences like Disney and Nickelodeon for various products.

Grenadi is a great place to learn graphic & web design. Small classes is the key, I think.

I felt I got all the help and support I needed from teachers and staff.I was very pleased with not just what I learned at Grenadi but also how friendly the environment was.
