Learn Art & Design in a Better, Faster Way

At VCAD, innovation is at the heart of everything we do, including our education delivery. Our signature Modular Learning model, launched in July 2025, reshapes how future artists and designers build practical, industry-ready skills. Instead of juggling multiple courses and competing deadlines, you focus on one course at a time. This strengthens concentration, boosts creativity, and leads to stronger results.

How this Learning Model Benefits You

It's not just a perk to have clarity and focus in today’s fast-paced world; it's essential. VCAD is proud to be one of the only private post-secondary institutions in Canada to offer this cutting-edge model, superior to the traditional, term-based format used by most other schools. This allows you to learn at a comfortable pace and work on your projects without being pulled in multiple directions, as you would in a traditional program.

What is Modular Learning?

Modular learning means students focus on one course at a time rather than juggling five or more simultaneously. The model is primarily an independent study, with one live week included in each 12-session cycle, followed by a mid-course critique. This works well for career changers, working adults, and busy creatives who want meaningful progress without unnecessary overload, helping you master every concept before moving on to the next. Instructors provide timely feedback and real project guidance, and milestone critiques that support your progress.

Learn faster. Build confidence. Develop the creative skills that prepare you for real industry success.
