Designers in a wide range of disciplines can now access subsidised training provided by New Horizons Ireland through Design Ireland Skillnet. Design areas covered include architecture, graphic design, visual communications, product design, industrial design, fashion, textile design and photography.

The focus of Design Ireland is to help designers reduce costs, achieve economies of scale, increase sales and turnover, enhance competitiveness in both domestic and international markets, and identify and absorb best practice, through training and networking events.

New Horizons GM Peter Ingle said a diverse range of training included QuarkXpress, Autocad, Adobe and Dreamweaver. “We’ve also been able to source a lot of niche training for Design Ireland over the years. The nature of their members is that some training is quite specialised.”

They are at the cutting edge of training services and provide a wide range of software training packages at all levels, delivered by very experienced trainers.”
