Charming websites are free; standards are expensive. Six red flags:
- No named ladder — "many exciting workshops!" forever. Progression needs names (compare).
- No assessment — "you will love it" instead of a standard your work is measured against.
- Pristine studios — a bench with no wear is a bench with no classes.
- Guaranteed outcomes — designers are built in ladders, not weekends.
- Instructor bios about teaching only — no trade history anywhere.
- Pressure pricing — discounts expiring today on diplomas you have not sampled.
One clean counter-test: a low-commitment experience class — confident schools keep the front door cheap and honest.
