  The Interior Design Institute has been amazing in guiding me into a career as an Interior Designer. I found going through every module very simple and straightforward, and I really like how it's broken down into different categories that truly reflect the Interior Designers' process. They teach you what you really need to know when getting into a career as an Interior Designer in small bite sizes chunks. I really like how you can message your tutor, and the feedback given is personal and invaluable. I also found the student Facebook Group helped me through the whole course, being able to share and see other students' work and experiences in a friendly and relaxed way. I would recommend this course to anyone who wants to become an Interior Designer, and I hope the quality and high standard of teaching continue.

  I must say, the Interior Design Institute has surprised me gratefully! In the beginning, I admit, I didn't know what to expect as it was the first time I ever joined a course of this type. As I completed the modules, however, I quickly realized how well-structured and informative each one of them was and how helpful and insightful the teachers were as well! Overall, it has been a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone thinking about doing it, and I can't wait to join more of their advanced modules in the future.

  Thank you to the Interior Design Institute team for creating a great course that has helped me tremendously in my career. I have invested in my staff, who have and are currently taking the ID course, to improve their skills as designers. We will continue to move on to the advanced modules too. I’m currently working with kitchens and bathrooms and SketchUp. Thank you to my tutor, who has encouraged me and motivated me to perform and do well. I will definitely recommend and sign up the rest of my staff with your courses. Thank you for everything Sofia Sardo

  I have enjoyed the Interior Design Diploma immensely. For a very reasonable cost, it has given me a thorough grounding in the basics of interior design. The course is well structured and flexible, so I have been able to work at my own pace. The online course notes are informative, very readable and well presented. They cover the creative and technical requirements of interior design and provide all the information required to complete the coursework assignments. Alongside, there are valuable online resources, including a student Facebook group and student portfolio. The support from the staff is also very good with any queries being dealt with quickly and effectively. Lastly, tutorial support is excellent. My personal tutor has helped clarify many questions about the course content and the requirements of the assignments. She always responds quickly and hits the nail on the head every time! Assessment feedback on each assignment has been prompt, helpful and concise. I can recommend this diploma 100%.

  I was a little bit skeptical when signing for the course on Interior Design Institue as there were so many online courses available which were quite overwhelming. I was dubious at the beginning about the online interior design course as it seems to lack the hands-on and practical side of what the in-person course can offer. However, due to work commitment, an online course was the best choice that would fit into my schedule at the time, so I went for it. To my surprise, the whole experience with this course is far far above my expectation. From design history, design fundamentals, and in-depth design specifics such as lighting and kitchen design to preparing a proposal and client acquisition, the modules provide a comprehensive and step-by-step structure to equip the students with the tools and skills that an interior designer requires. All the modules are presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner which is perfect for complete beginners who do not have prior experience or knowledge. My tutor Evette is very approachable and helpful. I feel the support and guidance throughout the course with her tips and feedback on my assignments. She was always there when I needed more clarification or assistance on the technicals or something I didn't quite grasp. I couldn't be happier with my choice of taking the course with Interior Design Institue and would totally recommend it to anyone out there who wants to get their foot in interior design as a career change or just doing it as a passion. I am so ready to get my first project with the knowledge and practice I had throughout the course!

  I started with an idea of what an interior design career would look like, but this course has confirmed to me that this is definitely the route I want to concur in life. It was one of those life moments where you say, right, let's do it! You may be just like me, unsure of what career path to take or what course to choose from. If you are creative and have a passion for design, I promise you this will be the best decision you will make. The course has not only helped me develop my skills but also gained extra knowledge that I did not learn in school. In addition, the course has also taught me different learning techniques for my dyslexia. Having my supportive tutor an email away was so important to keep my motivation with any misunderstandings that I had. I wish I had the push of support at home to get myself going on this diploma sooner. However, I am proud and grateful to have achieved my diploma. I asked all the questions I needed to and signed up straight away. The last year has flown by, and I have learnt endless interesting new things that I probably would never have found out, thanks to the help of this institute. The Interior Design Institute is the best updated interior design course that you can take. I have browsed, emailed, and called other learning organisations and did not have every requirement that I wanted and within my budget. Having the course fully flexible around your commitments, on the phone/laptop, and just being on the go is perfect for people who have responsibilities or would like a career change. I highly recommend this course; it has made me an overall independent person who can look forward to the start of an exciting design career. Every day will not be the same. This could be YOU!

  I remember that at first, I was so worried about joining the Interior Design Institute because English is not my first language. I was afraid that they wouldn't accept me. Would I be able to complete the course? I am so happy that I was brave enough to join. This course was wonderful, full of challenges and interesting studies. I learned a lot. I loved every minute of it. When you join, you will get your first module and one lovely tutor who will help you through this journey, who will give you advice and mark your assignments. You can do it at your pace; no one will rush you. You also got to join their Facebook page too, where there are IDI students from all over the world!!! It is a lovely group. So many talented people. I learned a lot from this course and am so proud of myself. I can only recommend them. Thank you.

  So excited to have completed this course, and I've enjoyed every minute! Some modules validated and refreshed what I already knew to some degree (but hadn't put it into practice for a while), and others were new and refreshing to learn about. My hunger to keep learning has definitely been spiked as the format, visual nature and language used in the modules make the whole experience really fun, engaging and enjoyable rather than a 'must do' on top of hectic work/life schedules. I feel confident and ready to take the next step in my Interior Design career, knowing that I have a like-minded group of tutors and students, all at different stages of their journeys, to lean into if needed!

  I have always had an interest in Interior Design, and whilst I was close to taking a design undergraduate course, I ended up studying Physics and have worked since in various roles outside of natural science and in many countries across the Northern Hemisphere. After a burnout last year, I wanted to learn skills in a completely new field and began investigating self-paced courses so I could complete the curriculum when I wanted to. After reading the testimonials and the curriculum of The Interior Design Institutes' website, with the additional incentive that I had a year (or longer if necessary) to complete the modules, I knew this was the opportunity I was looking for. I found the course a fantastic overview of the profession. It provided a comprehensive overview of the key principles and skills required as well as valuable guidance on how to venture out as an Interior Designer. I love how it really is a mix of science and creativity, and it was great to realise I still have creative flair! Additionally, the resources available for support (whether this was from the IDI team directly or the Facebook group) were so valuable and really encouraged me to continue. I look forward to seeing what lies ahead for me and how I utilize what I’ve learnt in the future.

  As a mother of 2 in full-time employment, I wanted to do something for myself. I've loved interiors since I can remember and decided to look for an online course in Interior design. After researching options, I decided on the IDI, and I'm so happy I did! I've learned so much and feel much more confident. I've just completed this course, and while it took me longer than expected due to external factors, I've loved every minute of it!! There is an amazing support network, and it is such a lovely community. The advanced modules are also a great add-on to help develop your understanding. I'm currently in the process of setting up my own Interior business. I wouldn't have had the confidence to do this without the help and support of the IDI community.
