Our brand new course designed to future proof the creative industry
Creative Mastery has been designed to be valuable for everyone who works in the creative communications industry — whatever their department.
By combining great ideas with the power of persuasion, advertising has the ability to change the world.
The School of Communication Arts exists to nurture a diverse pool of emerging talent, and teach them to do just that - turning them into creative superstars, each with their own unique perspective. Our success at training award-winning and highly sought-after creatives over the past decade, has led to us being hailed as ‘the best ad school in the world’, with more than 80% of our students employed at leading agencies within 6 months of completing their studies.
Your apprentices are going to get the full SCA experience that over the last 13 years has consistently delivered the best new talent into the industry.
SCA gave me a different (better) kind of education which genuinely changed my life. Since school I've worked both in the USA and UK, continued to mentor, and built some amazing relationships with some of the industry's most talented creative people.

How does it work?
The delivery plan for Creative Mastery has been designed to offer huge benefits for the learner and for the employer.
Everyone – copywriters, art directors, creative technologists and planners – learns together in our virtual studio, where we aim to simulate a real-world working environment. We describe it as a bit like a mash-up of Zoom and Minecraft.
Every learner gets their own FREE VR headset which will get them access to the world’s leading ad school, wherever they are located.
The first couple of months are fairly intense, but on average over the 24 months each apprentice spends about four hours a week, in class wearing their headset.
They can put it on to chat to one of our faculty to ask for help anytime during working hours.
By month two of Creative Mastery, your employee will have learned how to find commercial opportunities and how to write inspirational creative briefs.
They are scheduled to work on 16 briefs during Creative Mastery and these are usually opportunities that they have found for their employer or a client.
You always have the opportunity to sign-off these briefs — or ask your employee to work on a paid client brief during any of the cycles.
Your employee will also be challenged to present tactical and topical opportunities for you all the way through Creative Mastery.
Being very dyslexic, traditional education never worked for me. Being at SCA opened my eyes to what education could and should be. I went from a guy with 2 A-levels to a student pencil winner who worked at Google in a year.
