5 I chose to study at The Gordon because of the great things I had heard from past students. The Gordon provided a hands-on experience, covering all the core skills as if it were a job in the real world. The highlights were the large variety of assignments and all the great people I have met along the way, and I particularly enjoyed the collaboration with fellow students and teachers about our personal building designs. I am currently working for Hamlan Homes as a Design Draftsperson which is highly rewarding, with a large portfolio of projects ranging from standard house designs, complex custom designs, large special care unit developments, town planning designs, 3D client concepts, sketch plans and unit subdivisions. Since finding a job, I can see that all of the skills learnt during the course have more than prepared me for the industry. The course gave me excellent problem solving and time management skills, and the ability to deliver a high standard of work. The course definitely sets you up to be a quality building designer who is highly employable. Ryan Darling Advanced Diploma of Building Design (Architectural), 2014 I chose to study interior decoration as I really love fashion and interiors, and felt this was a growth industry. I ve also renovated a couple of homes and I really enjoyed the process. I choose to study at The Gordon because it was local, and it would give me the skills to enter the industry in just one year. The course was really well designed and the teachers are very knowledgeable; working in the industry, professional and always there to help. I felt like I was learning something new the whole time. I loved the creative assignments and client case studies as they allowed us to really think outside the square. When I finished, I got a part-time job as a colour consultant at a flooring studio where I continued to expand my knowledge of the building and design industry. I am now working as an interior designer in my own business Ampersand Interiors, which I run through my homewares store in Geelong West. I love working with people and helping them build their dream home or renovation, transforming a space from what it was to what it will become.
