What People Are Saying
"BDA is THE place to turn to for professional development. You can't find classes of this caliber, at these prices, anywhere else – not even close."
Alyson Miller, Partner, Venture Growth
"BDA training gives students the practical skills they just aren't getting from traditional academic experiences. To be honest, we have been very disappointed by the lack of portfolios or work experience in recent college graduates we've hired and encourage those looking for jobs to get more real-world skills through something like BDA."
Doyle Albee, President and New Media Practice Director, Metzger Associates
"When I took similar classes at the local community colleges I quickly realized that I knew more than many of my teachers! They seemed out-of-touch with the current technologies and trends. The instructors at BDA really know what they're talking about because they are true professionals not just teachers."
Catherine McCormack
"BDA helped give me the skills I needed to work on professional projects - including the documentary "The Cove," which I helped edit, and has just won an Academy Award!"
Mike Scalisi
Plan for Success
Our certificate programs are offered in two formats to accommodate the busy schedules of our students; weekdays for one full week (Monday through Friday), or multiple evenings for several weeks.
Boulder Digital Arts supplies a state-of-the-art Macintosh computer for each student loaded with all the necessary software and class materials. However, we encourage you to use your own portable computer during the classes so that you get familiar with your own particular environment. Using your own computer also allows you to experiment and self-learn in the evenings while the training is fresh in your mind. Also, our computers may not be available during the mentoring lab hours.
As part of our concierge service for Transitions customers we will follow-up with you after your registration to answer any questions you might have and confirm all the details. We are also happy to help arrange accommodations, transportation or other logistical needs. Boulder Digital Arts has negotiated discounted rates at many local hotels and service providers for our Transitions customers.
