Specialist Diploma in Design Communication
Details
The Orita Sinclair Apprenticeship Programme (Specialist Diploma in Design Communication) is an intensive 7 months programme aims to equip each apprentice with essential design skills required for their first steps into the real job market out there. We aim to bring them closer to their dream creative careers.
A general consensus heard amongst designers these days is that they learn the bulk of their knowledge inside a studio and workplace.
OSAP simulates this experiences to equip our apprentices with invaluable industry knowledge to succeed in the design world.
Our OSAP apprentices will:
- Work on real project briefs from all spectrums of design
- Appropriately respond and interpret to different assignments
- Learn to propose ideas and execute them to their best, understand market trends, and develop effective strategies
They will be tested under the pressures of multiple projects and deadlines, while also cultivating their creative thinking. Most importantly, they will learn to handle clients’ needs and demands, all without losing their own vision and voice.
Under the guidance of creative directors with a belt of experience behind them, the OSAP Apprentice will graduate from the programme not just with a diploma at hand, but with a strong portfolio and confidence, ready to step forth into their dream creative careers.
The Orita Sinclair Apprenticeship Programme will challenge and stretch you beyond what you already know. It will refine your skills and with its sheer intensity, leave you breathless.

Orita Sinclair is not your average local art/design school. We believe in doing things differently—all to your advantage.
Each Orita Sinclair Diploma Programme privileges students with small class sizes and a high teacher-to-student ratio (1:20 on average). This leads to an open, discussion-driven learning environment with much room for personal development and learning opportunities, drastically shortening the learning process.
Industry professionals drive a hands-on studio practice: all Orita Sinclair’s educators are practicing designers or artists. This means that you learn practical skills and glean worthwhile advice from real designers and artists of varying disciplines.
We keep abreast of new trends, and we believe that there is a need for our curriculum to be current, flexible and constantly updated—this is where our industry advisory council steps in to advise us, and we translate this into what and how we teach you.
Orita Sinclair believes that art/design/new media education should be portfolio driven—project briefs in class are designed to simulate client briefs in the real world. We set much store by helping you build up a substantive portfolio that will place you in good stead when the time comes for you to meet prospective clients and employers. ...
