I recently completed the BDG SMM Architecture program, and I want to express my gratitude to the entire team, particularly Arman Chilingaryan, for their significant contributions.

I have just completed the Graphic Design Advanced course at BDG. The course comprised 7 modules. Our main mentor throughout was Shushan Tonoyan, although each module had its own mentor. We were taught by such skilled professionals as Shushan Tonoyan, Ruben Malayan, Hasmik Avetisyan, Mariam Kanayan, Ara Aslanyan, and Varsine Gevorgyan. The course was fantastic and highly informative. I thoroughly enjoyed the organization and professionalism of the course. It provided me with new skills and a wealth of useful information. I can definitely recommend taking this course for a very good education.

Thank you to the entire BDG team for your competent and professional work.

It’s a pity that one of the colorful periods of our lives is over. A period when we gained practical knowledge, a wonderful environment and friends. I want to express special thanks to Vahagn, due to whose efforts we will become successful professionals in life. And there are no words about Sona. Always friendly, smiling and ready to help. Who knows where our roads will cross, where we will meet again, smile and greet each other warmly. We are leaving each other with the expectations of meetings, and may success accompany us on our future road. Dear Vahagn Karamyan, many thanks.
