New York Institute of Art and Design

It pains me to see some to see some of these reviews. My experience with this school has been nothing but positive. Every time I have asked a question, I have gotten a response with in 24 hours. I have been taking the Graphic Design course and find it to be informational and challenging. The only negative thing I can say is it would be helpful if someone would take the time to edit the written part of the course. There are some grammatical errors. I have enjoyed this course so much, I am considering taking another!

My sister just completed the Jewelry Design Course and received her Certificate of graduation June 17th, 2019. This course turned out to be tough and required learning a lot of technique. NYIAD staff were very supportive along her 18 month journey helping her at every corner. They shipped the course materials and replied to emails in a timely manner. The course itself is well designed. They start you with learning theory and technique in level 1, and by the time you reach level 6 you have an Online Store, Your own designer line of Handmade Fashion Jewelry, A Logo, and you learn how to take professional grade photos of your work. On a separate note, we had one incident over the holidays November 2018 where my sister submitted a section for grading and it took them 60 days and a few email follow-ups to get it done. They did explain to us that grading is left to instructors and they do that at their own pace, however they did agree that anything over 30 days was not acceptable. In the grand scheme of things, that is just one incident out of 6 different submissions and everything else went smooth. NYIAD deserves their 5 Stars.. We will refer friends to them in a heart beat

Currently I am enrolled in the jewelry making course. My struggle is the videos are outdated and confusing I had to find a lady in my area to give me some one on one. They start you out with advance techniques like right angle weave and wire wrapping. My friend who tutors me for three hours was stunned with some of the lessons. I am beyond grateful to Haley, Dorri and above all Mary who spent hours working with me So I could submit a project I was proud of. Please update your videos

Our Daughter is enrolled in the Graphic Design program. She is self-taught in much of what they are teaching. This is great for starters. She will continue in advanced programs after this. Thank you NYIAD for your support and help.

I am currently enrolled in the interior design and AutoCAD courses. I enrolled about one month ago and absolutely love the online classes! The material is easy to understand and simple to access , and I always get a quick response for anything I need from nyiad.
