Study Programs

SP Kreativ Consulting GmbH offers non-academic creative training centered on visual note-taking, doodling, and digital illustration under the Funny Sketchnotes brand. The provider does not grant formal academic degrees such as bachelor or master degrees, focusing instead on practical skill-building for personal and professional application. The core online distance learning portfolio includes comprehensive membership programs and digital clubs. The Funny Sketchnotes World membership provides approximately 70 hours of video material covering introductory drawing techniques, lettering, seasonal projects, and food illustration, supplemented by live webinars and community support. In parallel, the Funny Sketchnotes Digi-Club delivers around 40 hours of digital drawing instruction across specialized software, including Procreate, Autodesk Sketchbook, Adobe Fresco, and ibis Paint. In addition to ongoing club memberships, learners can purchase individual self-paced online courses and topical video series. Foundational courses include Funny Sketchnotes BASIS, which contains roughly 30 hours of video guidance for beginners seeking to use visual notes in business or education. Other standalone digital modules include Funny Lettering, Funny XMAS, Funny Spring, Funny Yummy, Funny Halloween, and Funny Flipchart, which focuses on visual presentation design for live flipcharts. Software-specific digital courses feature Funny Procreate with approximately 33 hours of video instruction, alongside dedicated courses for Autodesk Sketchbook, Adobe Fresco, and ibis Paint, as well as graphic design training in the Canva Lounge. The catalog also includes online distance courses designed for children and families. Young learners can participate in Funny Monstis, a two-hour introductory monster drawing workshop, or Funny Sketchnotes Kids, which combines video lessons with printed workbooks and e-books covering everyday objects, animals, and visual alphabets. Alongside its digital catalog, SP Kreativ Consulting GmbH conducts occasional on-site workshops and live events. These face-to-face offerings include one-day events such as the Funny Mind&Pen Party and Funny Sketchnotes Live sessions hosted at hotel venues in cities such as Düsseldorf, Berlin, Frankfurt, and Cologne, as well as past local seminars in Schermbeck and Bocholt.
