If you are taking interior design, you will use Autocad and other 3D applications more often. Illustrator & Photoshop not much. But different colleges have different syllabus, so it's hard to tell.

TOA Diploma course cost RM100K+? Lu sot ah? RM50K lare.

Figure drawing is definitely not a 1 hour work. Need a few hours to get it done.

Pro = 2 - 3 hours

Beginner = 5 hours or even more



Last time I need to do 2 pcs weekly. Everyweek 2 different figure drawings. If the one that has been rejected, have to redo and bring it along next week, so 3 pcs.

Hahahahaha, I must say drawing is the hardest, lulz! Driving me nuts the entire semester. But until the last 2 weeks I did see some improvement in drawing.

The rest are kacang putih, like color fundamentals and etc.

Btw, not only TOA workload is heavy, some other colleges too.

When you kena pressure you will learn something from there.

Can earn a lot of money only when you run your own design company.

Animation obviously can earn more than Graphic or Multimedia designers because its 3D, 3D work always fetch at higher price. My this animation lecturer told us that, a 30 seconds animation can earn freaking a lot of money, and if there are group projects going on, each project can earn about RM20K, then divide among themselves.

I can say that, I'm definitely not going to do design only till I retire.

It will be useful for me in future.

Hey tong,

I appreciate for what you share with us here. Thanks bro.

So currently you are working as a?

Mind telling a few big design firms in Malaysia? Googleit may not be accurate, so I need to ask from an experience person like you.

TOA degree intake only once a year. Their certificate is from Hertfordshire, U.K. Damn good.

I think total duration is about 4 years, including foundation.

Their Degree course is close to RM100K, same as Lim Kok Wing. But seriously, if you are going to pay that much, better go to Lim Kok Wing. Because TOA facilities is just okay, nothing special, and its small.

Lim Kok Wing local Degree certificate is also internationally recognised. People at abroad know who he is, Dato' Lim Kok Wing.

RM580 is quite expensive unless the room got air-cond.

Sunway area RM300 per room standard for student.

TOA doesn't allow people with Diploma to continue their Degree there. They only accept fresh SPM school leaver for now.
