Visual Thinking Courses

Instant access practical courses to apply at work

Graphic Change Visual Thinking courses give you practical skills, techniques and templates to apply to your own work. We’ve built practical step-by-step lessons to help you run more engaging meetings that people look forward to, to help you plan strategies, roadmaps or timelines with a group of people, and to help you tell your story with eye-catching, memorable visuals.

Our Visual Thinking courses are uniquely hybrid, combining the flexibility of e-learning with the benefit of being able to access the trainer within each lesson for Q&A and invaluable coursework feedback, so you can try something, get feedback and improve again. This gives you measurable results even during the course, and helps build your confidence so you can practice your new skills IRL in your work environment.

These practical online courses are self-paced for you to do in your own time. No cohort, no set times to be available, and no travelling to a training venue.

Our step by step courses meet you where you’re at.

 

Where are you at?

Our Online Mini Courses

At the Graphic Change Academy we don’t do mass online training. We don’t do tickbox video training. We do practical online training with an expert that treats you as an individual to feed back on your assignments. We want you to finish the course you invested in and get back out into your workplace with well-practised skills that help you engage people, interact with humans better and deliver more tangible outcomes for businesses. So you can ask for that wage rise or charge your clients more!
