Portfolio Certificate
(30 Credits)
Portfolio certificate students attend a unique program of intensive, hands-on, well-structured training in the fine art tradition of drawing, painting and sculpture. Through a challenging well-designed year of full time study, OSA students gain confidence and an understanding of what a professional portfolio contains and they learn how to present their ideas in an interview.
While no certificate program guarantees a student’s success in the marketplace nor does it provide automatic entry into a desired program of study. OSA students are out in front with a strong confident understanding of the playing field. Very high percentages of the Portfolio Certificate graduates gain entry into one of their top choice schools.
All Courses taught by the Fine Arts Diploma Program the Ottawa School of Art are taught in English
The Certificate program does not require approval under the Private Career Colleges Act, 2005.
