"Just when my life was at a career crossroad, actually a dead-end, I knew the only thing that could help was a college degree. DCTC had everything that I needed - great programs and outstanding instructors.

As I earned my degree, I started a business. Each class & opportunity helped me along the way. We now serve over 400 clients worldwide. I will never forget how DCTC helped me get here!"

"I came to DCTC for a career change. I wanted to move my career in a more creative direction, and I decided a degree in Graphic Design Technology would be a perfect fit. I already had a bachelor’s degree in business, but I needed the software skills and a portfolio before I could enter the creative industry. DCTC was the perfect fit for me.

I learned exactly what I needed to know and graduated with a solid portfolio. The Graphic Design Technology program not only has the most current software and hardware, but the instructors are knowledgeable and accessible. I am currently working as a marketing assistant and I love it. Thanks DCTC!"

-Candice Gerling

"The instructors have the knowledge and the experience in the industry to pass on to their students, I know this first hand. So many situations they prepared us for have come to use in my position as a Graphic Artist at the printing company I where have a fun and exciting position. Everyday has something new and my time at DCTC prepared me well! Thank you DCTC Instructors! "

-Kathy Jarvi | Graphic Artist

"I suppose one of the most beneficial aspects of DCTC for me was the input of the instructors. Each instructor at DCTC provided their own individual input and guidance, varying from the set curricular studies, to my own inquires regarding my personal goals and motivation. The instructors have a wide range of knowledge in their field, as well as knowledge based around their field. Your own concept of motivation and philosophy can grow so much during the duration of a few years, so it goes without saying that your own goals would definitely have evolved throughout the course of college.

Personally, I feel that DCTC is a great place for changes like these to occur. DCTC provides the resources necessary for you to shape your own career goal...and that includes an almost unlimited access to a computer lab and production room as live your life virtually shackled to your work around portfolio time."

"Attending DCTC gave me the education needed to begin a career in the graphic arts. The teachers were extremely knowledgable of the Software and were very dedicated to helping the students prepare for a career. They thoroughly covered all the ground skills needed in order for me to feel I was ready for a position in the field.

The Quark, Illustrator and Photoshop skills I learned help me in my everyday work as a designer laying out catalog pages for retail company and I know I can still count on any of the Graphic Design teachers at DCTC with questions I may have, even long after graduation."
