I would recommend this course to anyone interested in interior design… and I have actually. This course is very comprehensive and for anyone with a busy lifestyle this would really suit their schedule. I felt like an interior designer from the very first assignment!

Postgraduate Diploma Student
I’m delighted with the decision to go down this path. I didn’t find it difficult to motivate myself because I absolutely loved the work. I really enjoyed doing the assignments. It’s been life changing - it’s been really great for me.
Olive Wilson
Graduate, Diploma course
It was a brilliant course to be able to do from home. If you have a flair for and are passionate about interior design, it is a really good course. You cover so much content and you can continue your studies if you wish to specialise after the course.
Louise Higgins
Interior Designer, IDAI Graduate
I was meant to start studying interior design over ten years ago but got sidetracked. I have two small kids and a part-time job, so this is the only way I could do it. This is just brilliant - so far, so good. I’m loving it so much.
