Domestika is an online learning platform for creative skills, with courses in illustration, design, photography, crafts and more taught by working professionals.
Domestika courses use video lessons, explanatory texts and assignments, with practical exercises that build toward an end project. Courses also come with complementary resources and attachments. Teachers guide you through the lessons and share their background, influences and techniques. You can take a course in its original language or turn on subtitles in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Polish or Turkish. Every course has its own community space where you can keep learning alongside fellow students and the teacher.
Domestika Basics groups several courses together to teach popular software used by creatives. Domestika says these courses are designed both for beginners starting a new creative discipline and for seasoned professionals looking to strengthen what they already know. Domestika for Business sells courses to companies, community centers and educational institutions. Organizations get a dashboard, login management and student tracking, can assign logins to members by email address, and members get a certificate of attendance when they complete courses.
The Domestika app is available from the App Store and Google Play. It shows the same course catalog as the website, lets you filter courses by language and lets you download lessons so you can watch offline. In the app you can mark units as completed, download additional course resources and connect to your TV with Chromecast, and Domestika Plus subscribers or learners with a Domestika for Business course can download their certificate there. Some features, such as bundles, are only available on the website.
Domestika Plus is a subscription that lets you watch a large collection of courses. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
