The college promotes the holistic growth of its trainees through Christian values, character formation, and academic excellence in visual arts and design.
The college is TVETA Certified, and NITA and KNEC Registered. It offers Certificate and Diploma-level training in Fashion Design, Graphic Design, Interior Design, and Fine Art, alongside short courses in Digital Graphics, Soft Furnishing, ArchiCAD, Pattern Drafting, Fabric Decoration, Painting Techniques, Social Media Marketing, and Photography.
