is nada representing LKW? shakehead.gif seriously i graduated from LKW in yr 2003. Did EDM there which stands for Electronic Design and Multimedia and all i can say is ... i've learned nothing there. complain about lecturer who are not up to the standard? did that ... in fact the whole class agreed to file a complain and guess what? nothing happened! ... no point bringing up all the LKW mess again. yawn.gif

Sometimes i feel reluctant to "flame" LKW as i graduated there any by flaming LKW, it will in fact harm my prospect during job interviews ... tho LKW's brand power is no longer a pride anymore ... but if i just keep quiet and pretend if there's nothing wrong with LKW ... lots of innocent ppl are goin to end up there and 60 - 70% of them will most likely change college and wasted their time and money while learning/realizing the hard facts of endless negative things below the glittering "surface".

sad.gif Infact, i'm did feel very guilty for introducing some of my secondary sch juniors to LKW after their SPMs ... for the sake of earning some 400 bucks per person if any of them are enrolled. I sincerely feel sorry for them as 2 out of the 4 dropped out due to the unreasonably high sch fees(which u learn nothing in return). vmad.gif

I myself nearly went to T.O.A or some other design colleges when i know i'm actually spending my parents' hard-earned money on the fee that doesn't reflect on the value i get. My parents were not able to support me if i were to change college and start all over again, (other colleges does not recognize LKW standard, i would have to start from foundation again at a new college doh.gif ). If given the chance to change college then, I will not hesitate to grab the opportunity. sweat.gif

So my advice to those budding designers, the most important thing when u go for a job interview will be your portfolio. Not your certificates. Most will not even ask to see your certs, instead ... a good portfolio will land u the job. The industry does not judge based on the fee u paid the get ur certs, instead, its ur skill that counts. So go online and look for tutorials. thumbup.gif
