This intermediate Level 2 Certificate in Interior Design provides a fascinating introduction to one of the world’s most inspiring sectors.  Course content is distributed over a series of four modules, which conclude with online assessments for submission to your assigned tutor:

Module 1 - An Introduction to the Interior Design Profession

The course begins by providing candidates with a detailed overview of the contemporary interior design profession, along with the primary duties and responsibilities of the expert interior designer.  The fundamentals of residential design are also introduced, along with the importance of building strong vendor/supplier relationships and common challenges in interior design.

Module 2 - Design Elements

Module two introduces candidates to the four most important design elements and their respective functions - textures, patterns, colour and space.  Each of these contributory design elements is considered individually and as a fundamental ‘building block’ of a successful interior design project.
