Core topics include design principles, color theory, human perception, professional hand sketching, drawing techniques, typography from classical lettering to modern web fonts, corporate identity creation, logo design, infographics, digital image processing, and print production methods. Additionally, the course provides thorough instruction in copyright law, client acquisition, contract drafting, and marketing essentials for running a design business.

Learning takes place flexibly through 24 detailed study booklets, drawing material starter kits, and a digital online study center. Students benefit from personal remote tutor feedback on practical assignments, active learning communities, and round-the-clock support from the AI-powered learning companion KILEA. The standard study duration of 18 months requires approximately 10 hours of weekly study and can be extended by up to 12 months free of charge.
