Pacific Fair Shopping Centre is the ‘Central Hub’ for transport and most buses stop at Pacific Fair – and it is easily accessible from most places on the Gold Coast.
Students also enjoy the close proximity to the beach, (we are less than ten minutes walk across the Gold Coast Highway and onto beautiful beaches in Broadbeach).
Since the private college opened it’s doors, it has had enormous success across all areas of the creative training. The Academy of Design has Local, National and International students.
