The Fastrack courses are taught at a faster pace, have less hours and are less comprehensive than the full courses. They do NOT cover the same amount of material as the comprehensive course and the instructor is speaking at the same pace. The computer graphics fastrack course, for example, is is perfect for people who have had previous background in using the Adobe software yet could benefit from a refresher course, or is suitable for the independent learner who will feel confident exploring the software further on his/her own.
The Fastrack Graphic Design course covers the complete theory of design, but in a less thorough manner and produces a much smaller portfolio than the full course.
Students who want to continue to Web Design are advised to do the Fastrack courses as a prerequisite.
