Typical duration: 2–6 months
Phase 4 · Exam, Credential, Licence or Advanced Qualification
Plan prerequisites early. Use official syllabus/PYQs and preserve academic performance required for NID/UCEED/CEED/design-school routes; portfolio-based hiring.
Typical duration: 3–18 months, route-dependent
Phase 5 · Experience, Network & Professional Evidence
