In 1989, college director Andrew Shillington founded Shillington Graphics, the studio that preceded Shillington College. As an employer, Andrew sought to hire talented designers but found it increasingly difficult to find suitable graduates - those with high-end computer skills and the ability to create quality design while meeting unreasonable deadlines. It became apparent that students leaving colleges and universities were not adequately trained in today's world of computers and design software. And so Shillington College was born.

The college's success is evident in the number of graduates attaining high quality employment in the design industry. Shillington College runs fully accredited computer graphic design courses in England UK, Australia and at Shillington School in New York, USA. The emphasis is on training employable designers who can confidently take a brief, use the programs and meet a tight deadline.
