What Is Domestika?
Domestika is currently the fastest growing online creative community. Where top creative professionals all over the world pass on their experience through Domestika courses. Through their courses students learn and develop and hone their creative skills.
Domestika started as a small online platform where creative professionals could share their thoughts and ideas. That small creative community turned into the online learning platform of today. The creative community is still very much at the centre of the platform. It’s the place where beginners and professionals go to grow and expand their skills.
The great thing about Domestika is that you can learn at your own pace. With no monthly membership fee or subscription. You pay for the course that you want and do it in your own time.

As a part of the focus of at Domestika is to share with community to get ideas and inspiration! And to keep learning!

Domestika originated in originated in Spain so a lot of courses were in Spanish. Now they’re a global company they offer courses in a few different languages. All the courses do have subtitles but depending on how you like to learn that might be a plus or negative.
If you’re taking notes which I find is always helpful, the subtitles won’t be an issue. You can also choose courses that have audios in your native language. One of things I like is that courses are taught from people all over the world.
Thoughts
Overall Domestika offers a wide range of creative courses that are structured well and easy to follow. I think it’s great that the majority of courses are available in more than language for audible as well as subtitles. Diversity is what makes Domestika different from other online learning platforms. I hope you find a course that sparks your creativity!
