Launching in Lagos
Three courses to open with.
The same curriculum, instructors and certification our Accra students get. Tell us which one you want and we'll size the cohort around demand.
Programme
Architectural Design with Revit
Where it all begins — design complete buildings on the computer using Revit, the industry-standard software used by firms worldwide.
QS track
Quantities & Estimation with Planswift
Before anyone builds, they need to know what it will cost. Learn to work that out accurately and fast, straight from the drawings.
Want a course that isn't listed — MEP, Structural, Computer Literacy? Tell us in the form and we'll add it if demand justifies it.
What you'll be able to do
Not "modules covered."
Work you can be paid for.
Turn a client's rough idea into a full drawing set
Plans, elevations, sections — coordinated and ready to submit.
Produce renders people pay for
Photoreal interiors and exteriors that win the job before it's built.
Price a building accurately from drawings
Take-offs, bills of quantities and estimates a contractor will trust.
Work inside Revit the way a firm expects
Families, sheets, schedules, revisions — the real professional workflow.
Present and defend your design
Boards, walkthroughs and the language to sell the idea in the room.
Leave with a portfolio, not a certificate alone
Real projects you can show an employer or a paying client on day one.
Where it takes you
The roles our graduates walk into.
DSD alumni in Ghana work in architecture practices, contracting firms, furniture and fit-out businesses — and a large share freelance on the side while employed.
Studio track
Junior Architectural Designer
Drafting and modelling inside a practice, working to a senior's brief.
Client-facing
Interior Designer
Residential and commercial fit-outs — the highest-demand freelance skill we teach.
Contracting
Quantity Surveyor / Estimator
Take-offs and cost planning for contractors, developers and consultancies.
Independent
Freelance 3D Visualiser
Renders and walkthroughs sold per project, remotely, to clients anywhere.
Roles reflect the paths DSD graduates in Ghana have taken. Outcomes depend on effort, portfolio and market — we don't guarantee placement.
Student work · Accra
Made by people who started with zero.
Every project below was produced by a DSD student — most of whom had never opened design software before their first class.

Before you register.
Where exactly will the Lagos campus be?+
We're finalising the location now. Registrants get the address first, before it's public anywhere else.
What will it cost — and what is the early-bird discount?+
Naira pricing is being set for the Nigerian market and will be confirmed before the cohort opens. When fees are published, everyone on this list is emailed first and gets an early-bird discount on the founding-cohort rate — you don't need to do anything now to qualify beyond registering.
Do I need any design experience?+
No. Most of our students start with none. If you're not confident with a computer yet, we'll tell you which foundation to take first.
How long does a course take?+
Most programmes run over a few months depending on whether you take the evening or weekend track. Exact Lagos schedules are confirmed with the cohort dates.
Is it in person or online?+
The Lagos campus is in-person and studio-based. Live online classes taught from Accra are available in the meantime — tell us your preference in the form.
What certificate do I get?+
Courses taught on Autodesk software carry both an Autodesk certificate and a DSD certificate of completion. Every DSD certificate has a unique ID and QR code you can verify online.
Do you help with jobs?+
You graduate with a portfolio of real projects and access to our alumni network. We don't guarantee placement, but our graduates in Ghana work across practices, contractors and freelance.
