At Halo design academy, we focus on quality teaching rather than completing the course faster. We don't teach the basics, we teach in depth of each tool starting from basics till expert level. Our classes or not restricted only towards software profeciency, we also teach various graphic and UI/UX design concepts such as typography, color theory, laws of ux, gestalt principles and etc., to turn our students into full-fledged, job-ready candidates. If we are getting good feedback from our recruiters and they continue to recruit from us it's because of our quality of teaching. So, obviously to train students to that level it will take such long time. Most importantly its not long time, it is optimum time.
Yes, all our courses except short term courses are inclusive of portfolio
Weekday batches have 1 hour of mandatory theory session and unlimited practical hours. Weekend batches are online batches and it has 2 hours of theory session per day.
Absolutely not. We have a in-built lab with 8 high-end systems for students to practice. Also if students are comfortable using their own laptops they can bring them and we have spaces to accomodate them also.
We open at morning 10 am and close at 9 pm. Each one hour we have a batch. So if we promise a flexible timing, then it becomes very difficult for us and other students to accomodate your flexible timing. So, we have fixed time slots for batches and students and flexible timing is not an option.
Yes online classes are available during both weekdays and weekdays.
We are open on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. So you can come only on Saturdays for extra practice sessions.
Yes you can pay the fees is easy installments averaging around ₹5500 per month.
Yes you can pay the fees in a single payment also. If you pay fees as a single payment then you will be given discounts around 10%.
We accept both cash as well as online transactions for fee payments.
The fees that we ask is very nominal compared to other design training institutes in Madurai. There may be other institutes that might get fees lesser than us, but we can bet that they will not be able to deliver the content and classes the way we do. Also most design training institutes ask you to carry your own laptops, whereas we provide high-end PCs for practice. Almost 30% to 35% of the fees you pay goes for GST, rent, electricity and other amenities that we provide for the students. So obviously our fees is justifiable, so we do not compromise on the fees.
The first fee installment should be paid atleast one day prior to starting of your batch, so that we can lock your slot.
The fee calendar is like if you have joined on 7th of a month paying your first installment, then your next installment has to be paid on the 7th of next month and so on.
The moment you pay your fees your payment is reported to the government and all taxes are deducted from it already. Also your fee includes the running cost of the institute which is also dedcuted. So, there is no way we can give a refund if you discontinue your course or become a dropout, because laws do not allow us to do so.
For graphic designing it is 1 major branding project. For UI/UX designing it is 1 website, 2 apps(1 iOS + 1 android), 1 watch app projects you need to do. For hybrid it is 4 UI/UX projects and 1 branding project. For video editing 1 cinematic trailer or 1 video invite project or 1 TV ad promo edit.
A portfolio is a compilation of your best works. Also recruiters prefer candidates who can show versatality as well as depth. So obviously you need to have 4 projects atleast in your portfolio each project belonging to different domain if you need to get an interview call.
If it is a planned leave, you will have to give us prior information. If it is unplanned leave, please notify us atleast through a message. Only then we will be able to give you a backup class merging you with the next upcoming batch. If you fail to inform us then there is no chance of getting a backup class.

In the free demo session we teach the basics of design and a brief intro to Graphic and UI/UX Design so that interested students can get a taste of our teaching methodologies and quality.
This is a very common doubt for students. If you are unable to finish the course in the stipulated duration then you are given a grace period of maximum 3 months to complete the course, for which you need not pay any extra fees. But beyond that grace period you cannot continue the course.
We have tied-up with a few companies and whenever they have an opening they hire our students first. Similarly lots of companies where our alumni have worked or working give higher preferences for our students. Also we keep students informed about various graphic and UI/UX designer job openings as and when we get it and forward students resume to those companies and we also give support in completing interview tasks if given.
