Welcome to the Portfolio Preparation class. In this class, you will learn how to prepare, plan and build your Portfolio for Application to University, College or Employment. 

This course is taught by Sonia Nicolson, a British Chartered Architect and former University Lecturer with over 10 years experience. Sonia has seen 1000's of students portfolios whilst working in higher education, interviewing students for both Under Graduate and Post Graduate course placement. 

This class is best for students who know their subject, are applying for further education/employment, and possibly already have an interview lined up, and have examples of work ready to assemble into a portfolio.

No prior experience is necessary.
