The Experts Behind Your Course
Hand in hand with your tutor.
A professional interior designer is assigned as your tutor to assist you throughout the course.
You and your tutor work together to develop ideas and material relating specifically to the areas of interior design work that most interest you. This might include such work as:
Colour and lighting, decorative finishes, creating beautiful bedrooms, kitchens and bathrooms, corporate design, decorative paint finishes, smart house technology, pre-sale inspections, hospitality and exhibition design, commercial interiors, for both private and corporate clients.
It's your tutor's job to assess your assignments, guide you to develop your design skills and bring you to an appropriate level of professionalism.
