Great starting point to learn Interior Design principles
This course is best for people who are willing to commit the hours to really apply the readings and practice work. I really enjoyed learning and I'm eager to continue in this field now. I needed to spend many weekends and evenings to complete the assessments. The staff were very helpful in allowing me to extend my course timeline. The reading materials and assignment references were quite outdated which was a little disappointing and being an online course, it's hard to really immerse in the physical aspects of the teachings. Reading through long PDFs of theory just isn't very exciting. But it is a good starting point to learn Interior Design principles - and it has certainly kept me engaged and excited about a future in this field.

Our course aims to provide the fundamental principles and elements of interior design so that you can apply these straight away with practical assignments that simulate tasks interior designers do daily. The tutorials will also form a reference library that you can refer to for years to come.
Thanks for your feedback on the format of our course. We are working on a facelift with our material. This is a lengthy process, but when we get further with this, we will be sure to let you know, and you will also have access to them as a previous student.
We can’t wait to see what you achieve next and look forward to keeping in touch.

Scratching an itch
The interior design company has the balance just right between providing a holistic course that is also achievable (even when working full time).
I enjoyed each module and tutorial readings that provided a mixture of theory and practise. I really appreciated hearing from people working in the industry, including the reality of the not so glamorous side.
My goal of taking this course was not so much about getting better prepared to start a career in interior design (although it does achieve this) but to get insight into different areas of interior design and to see what I truly enjoy. It was about scratching an itch I’ve had for a while now, and I definitely consider it scratched!

A very positive learning experience
From the outset the communication was clear, prompt and very positive. Even though (for me) the Academy is literally on the other side of the world, I found the course extremely relevant and up-to-date. The on-boarding was smooth and the support exemplary. I would recommend the Academy to anyone interested in learning about Interior Design.
