Is there any training institution for portfolio abroad? What are overseas art study institutions like? The answer is yes, and it appeared far earlier than in China. Many people say that the collection organization is a unique product in China, but it is not. Many overseas countries, especially Britain and the United States, and even Japan, South Korea, Germany, France and other small language countries, actually have collection agencies for a long time, and mainly for college applications.
Previously, when Natural Light interviewed the admissions officers of overseas art schools, many admissions officers, professors and teachers said that overseas art collection training institutions and overseas art study institutions had already emerged in a large scale, especially in Britain and the United States, where the type of work collection coaching institutions are very common.
What are overseas art study institutions like?
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of foreign portfolio training institutions. One is the school's own portfolio counseling courses; The other is the same as that in China, which is an educational counseling institution. This one can be divided into two types, one is directly operated by foreigners, and the other is a work collection counseling course with the nature of "preparatory course", which is jointly offered by domestic intermediaries and overseas colleges.
Overseas colleges and universities offer their own portfolio counseling courses:
The first is the portfolio courses offered by colleges themselves. with London University of the Arts For example, if we search the official website for the keyword "Portfolio", we will see a lot of portfolio coaching courses, almost all of which are short courses. In general, the division is relatively detailed, such as Portfolio Building 18+(short-term class for students aged over 18); Photography Portfolio Preparation (for specific photography majors); Or, if you can't concentrate on classes in a short time, you can also choose Weekend weekend classes.

For details, take Photography Portfolio Preparation as an example, which is mainly aimed at applying for LCC London School of Communication For students majoring in photography who have a certain foundation in photography, the course is initiated by LCC and taught by teachers of UAL. The course lasts for 5 days. In particular, if students want to participate in this course, they must have a certain professional foundation in photography or have a strong interest in photography, and have a preliminary theme or idea for the collection of works. From the specific course content, it is very overseas and quite comprehensive, including theoretical practice, idea extension, portfolio creation, photography techniques, equipment, analytical research, application guidance, 1v1 group teaching, critical and presentation.
Training institutions for foreign collections:
Secondly, in the second and first category, we search for any vocabulary+coordinate representing learning or guidance in Portfolio+on Google, such as Portfolio School/Initiate/Tution/Class/Preparation London/Chicago/NYC or related terms, and there will be many overseas collection tutoring institutions.

One of the many overseas collection training institutions is located in London
In brief, most overseas collection organizations have fixed cycle collection coaching courses, 1v1 guidance, online classes, short-term art courses, summer courses, online collection review, etc. Like most domestic art study abroad institutions, this kind of training institution for overseas works is mainly aimed at students who want to apply for overseas art colleges. But in terms of scale, most of them are also very targeted, for example, they are mainly targeted at schools in London, local art universities in Chicago, or colleges in other regions.

The last category, which is jointly set up by a large class of overseas study agencies and overseas universities, is different from the preparatory programs or Portfolio Courses provided by the universities themselves. Such programs are mainly based on courses, and it is difficult to call them complete portfolio training institutions. More are "preparatory" portfolio counseling courses, which are mainly portfolio guidance+language training, It is also familiar to many domestic students.
