GURU is a private vocational school dedicated to providing current, relevant and highly specialized education. Our intense, 6-month full-time diploma program equips students with the skills they need to embark on their careers and become industry leaders with minimal turnaround time.
Master Instructors
Our core instructors are experts in their areas of knowledge, and passionate about passing on the ‘tools of the trade’ to students eager to launch their new careers. With a low student-to-instructor ratio, GURU is able to dedicate personalized instruction tailored to the individual and collective needs of the class. GURU also supplements regular full-time instruction by introducing a variety of industry specialists in order to expose students to ‘real world’ knowledge and current trends in the marketplace.
The Student Experience
Passionate, mature and dedicated are three qualities that GURU looks for in their students. Our classroom is fast paced, impelling students to interact quickly with technology and each other. The Media industry is growing dynamically, and GURU prepares their students to flow with the changes. Our graduates are the leading edge in a constantly evolving industry.
Students have access to GURU’s facility and classroom after hours and on weekends, providing ample opportunity to refine and develop their skills. Students learn advanced skills in a clean and comfortable environment in order to quickly achieve their career goals and enter the industry sector of their choice.
As a student at GURU Digital Arts College, you will expand your creative talents while developing advanced technical skills on both PC and Mac platforms. Our blend of traditional art skills, human interaction skills and modern applications enable GURU graduates to go beyond basic techniques taught at other institutions, giving them a head start in the workplace.
Career Opportunities
GURU's intense 6-month Digital Media Producer diploma program focuses on teaching skills that Human Resources Departments look for when hiring Digital Media (New Media) employees. Our advanced curriculum challenges students with an artistic or technical background to develop the necessary skills and techniques employed by successful industry professionals on a daily basis.
