The course is designed for those interested in; interior design, starting a new hobby or pursuing a new career. You will need little to no experience in interior design as this course will cover the basics.  

Interior design is the art of exploring and experimenting with a room or building’s creative potential. As an interior designer, you will design new and modern spaces or renovate old ones to improve functionality. During this course, you will develop your artistic abilities, gain a feel for how to design different spaces and learn a keen eye for light and colour.
