Once you understand the key issues that govern design projects, you will have the confidence to build your own personal style whilst helping your client devise their ideal home or commercial space. This course begins with a discussion of what interior designers do on a day-to-day basis, how they are trained, and the qualities necessary to succeed in this line of work.

Testimonials

Mark SInterior Design Diploma"Videos of summary/support from other years a success. I would also point the "quality" and "clarity" of the materials provided, considering that the MS-Word are multiple and different platforms. I would also like to emphasize that it is a course whose approaches, content and requirements are all very "measured" and "in line with reality"; as it would have been very easy (in my humble opinion) that in certain areas (macros, styles, reviews, etc.) the required level had been "too much" (for me I mean)."

Stuart MInterior Design Diploma"AulaSIC Hi guys! I congratulate them because the tutor is excellent and is a great way to organize it in terms of technology. The course is very good and I have not got another thing we can provide as much specific information on the subject. While the medical field is extensive, and it would be impossible to cover all doubts, widely recommend this course. Paul is very specific and the information is easy to understand, and your comments are very valuable successful! "
