Our History
The Pacific Design Academy (PDA) was founded in 1991 to provide quality education in the design arts. From our earliest program offerings in Interior Design, the Academy has grown to become the pre-eminent private design school in Victoria.
Our classes are led by practicing professional designers, ensuring a curriculum that is appropriate to the needs of the design marketplace. PDA is a designated college with the Private Training Institutions Branch of the BC Ministry of Advanced Education. PDA has authority to grant diplomas for all full time programs listed on this website.
The Academy’s instructors are working professionals who bring current, up-to-date ideas into the classroom. We moved to a fresh new space in 2022, with classrooms and studios that are bright and well equipped. The software we teach is relevant to real-world needs with design-industry standard computer labs.
Our limited class size ensures you get the individual attention you need to successfully master new skills. Because of our quality approach to design training, our graduates emerge with highly marketable skills.
We believe the skills that you learn at Pacific Design Academy are the beginning of your career horizons. The skills you learn here will last you a lifetime. We take pride in our teaching environment where small classes and individual attention are the norm.
