For over 16 years, Boulder Digital Arts has been helping people gain in-demand digital skills through affordable training programs. Most of our classes are remote but some are held in-person in Colorado. All of our classes are taught live by an expert instructor (not recordings). In addition to training we also offer a membership program, coworking offices, a professional directory and much more.

 

Whether you work in film, technology, design, photography, or business, we seek to empower your creative process with membership, resources, education, community and collaboration.

Do I need to be a member of Boulder Digital Arts to take classes?
No, you do not need to be a member of Boulder Digital Arts to take our classes! One advantage to being a member is a significant discount on tuition. Typically, the membership will pay for itself if you plan on taking at least two classes or workshops during the course of a year. Click here to find out more about our membership program.

 

What's the difference between a user profile and a membership?
A free Boulder Digital Arts profile is your key to all the features and functionality on the Boulder Digital Arts web site - it's how we know who you are when you're using our site. When you login with a Boulder Digital Arts profile you are able to register for training, create directory listings, post to our discussion forums, view current and past event registrations and manage all aspects of your account with us. Once you have a Boulder Digital Arts profile you can become a member in one easy step. This basically "upgrades" your profile. Once you login to the Boulder Digital Arts web site as a member you are able to register for events and training at the discounted rate. Click here to find out more about our membership program.

 

Am I going to get junk mail from you once I'm on your mailing list?
Boulder Digital Arts sends out an informative email about once a week, containing information that's relevant to the digital community. However, once you have created your user profile, you can always change the setting in your profile and choose not to receive any email from us. In addition, Boulder Digital Arts has a strict privacy policy that it does not sell, rent, or otherwise give any info from its database to ANY third-party.

 

How do I contact Boulder Digital Arts?
The best way to contact us is to email info@boulderdigitalarts.com - we reply to most emails pretty quickly. Since we are a small organization, we try to discourage phone calls.

 

What's the format of Boulder Digital Arts' classes?
We have a few styles of classes, so you can find the type that best fits your needs, and your individual learning style. Most of our workshops are held remotely and some are held in-person in Colorado. Many Boulder Digital Arts events are one-night workshops, typically held from 6pm to 8pm on a weekday. These workshops are held lecture-style, with the instructor demonstrating on their computer for the class to follow along. For those students that prefer a more hands-on learning style, Boulder Digital Arts also offers hands-on training, so you'll need your own computer/software to follow along.

 

BDA's Certificate Programs provide participants with a wide range of knowledge and skills within a particular discipline. They emphasize practical knowledge and skills with a project-based learning approach that combines engaging lectures with hands-on practice. Many of our Certificate classes employ the "flipped classroom" approach where you'll learn and practice on your own, so that there is more time for questions and interactive learning during class sessions. Certificate Programs are offered in a variety of schedule formats including weekday, weekend and evening. Every Certificate Program has a clear and concise outcome for students and is designed to provide maximum value in a relatively short period of time. Learn more.

 

What are my options for paying event registration fees?
The easiest way to pay for a class is by credit card when registering online. For your security, we provide a secure server in which to process the transaction, and do not store any of your credit card information in our database.

 

Is there a minimum number of students needed to hold an event?
Typically, there is a minimum number of six students required to hold an evening workshop, and a minimum of three students for our all-day hands-on and Certificate classes.

 

Do I have to pre-register - can't I just show up for a class?
Since Boulder Digital Arts keeps its class sizes to a minimum, it is important to pre-register, and pay, ahead of time, so we can send you the Zoom link in a timely manner. If you have not pre-registered, there is the chance that the class will be full when you show up, and you will not be admitted. In addition, by not pre-registering, there is a chance that the class will not be held at all since it might not have met the minimum number of students required.

 

How do I register more than one person for an event? Can I register someone else?
To register more than one person, you can start by registering yourself. You can also register on behalf of someone else - simply select that the registeration is for "another person" when you begin the registration process.

 

We have a group of people that we'd like to get trained right away but we can't wait till the next time Boulder Digital Arts is offering the class - can we have our own class?
Yes! Boulder Digital Arts has offered corporate and private training for many years. Please contact us with your needs, and we'll work with you to come up with a curriculum that is not only cost-effective, but also perfectly suited to your company's requirements.

 

If I need to cancel my class registration, what is the refund policy?
Though we try to be flexible whenever possible, we do have a very detailed refund and credit policy - please click here to read.

 

What if I'm not happy with a class I just took?
Boulder Digital Arts strives to provide the highest quality training to each and every participant. If for some reason you are ever unhappy with the quality of instruction you have received, please let us know immediately by emailing us at info@boulderdigitalarts.com.

 

What happens if a class is canceled at the last minute?
Boulder Digital Arts very rarely cancels a workshop at the last minute. If we do need to cancel at the last minute, we will attempt to call AND e-mail everyone registered for the class as soon as we make the decision. Please keep in mind that if you are interested in a class but have not registered, you will not receive ANY notifications about its status, so please register early! In addition, please be sure to have a current phone number listed in your profile, so that we're able to call you ahead of time.
