Concise, user friendly course
Hi, I've been an IDI student for 3 months now. The course material is complete and informative, presented in an organized way and the opportunity to work independently online and at my own pace is great. When submitting work, my tutor Helen, has been absolutely wonderful in her analysis. Her feedback is complete, detailed and constructive and it is clear that she has a wealth of knowledge to share. Looking forward to completing the rest of the course and putting it to use!

I loved this program because it's self-directed. It allows a sustainable pace for those of us who are working in the field or have other commitments like families to tend to. The support and feedback received from my tutor has also been excellent and super encouraging. The assignments really put you to work (which I appreciate) as this is a tough industry to get into.

Challenging, Practical, and Surprisingly Doable with a Busy Schedule
As a working professional and hands-on mom, flexibility was a huge factor for me, and this course makes it possible to learn at my own pace and fit study time into a busy schedule.
The modules are easy to follow, while the assignments are challenging enough to build real skills and prepare students for a rewarding career in interior design. A special shoutout to my tutor, Wendi, for being incredibly responsive and thoughtful with her feedback. Her comments are detailed, constructive, and show that she truly takes the time to review each submission carefully and help students develop a strong portfolio.
Looking forward to the next modules and continuing the journey!
