What should I look for in an
interior design course?
A checklist
- Quality awarding body
- International accreditation (such as BTEC Higher National Diploma)
- Updated courses and latest teaching methods
- Online support
- Home study /distance learning / correspondence options
- Personal tutoring
- Flexibility to suit your schedule and requirements
- Institution with a good range of practical courses
- Experienced, expert tutors
- Detailed feedback on assessment
- Design portfolio development integrated into course
- Different topics integrated to form a holistic understanding
- Challenging major projects included in course assessment
- Prepares you to work as a professional designer
Remember, if you choose a light-weight course, it is unlikely to give you the confidence to face the real-world challenges of professional interior design, and you will be unlikely to attract employers or clients. You need to find a course that develops and challenges your design skills, while nurturing your individual creativity and presenting information in a format that is easy to understand and remember.
