I’m learning so much valuable information through The Interior Design Institute. The course goes far beyond standard design styles and dives into the technical side of the profession — including how to create floor plans and electrical plans, parts of the role you don’t often think about when daydreaming about being an interior designer. It’s strengthened my knowledge base and built my confidence, making a career pivot into interior design feel truly achievable.

It has been a very educational experience. I had no prior knowledge of interior design, and now I'm learning a lot with the course.

I am completing the Interior Design Course at The Interior Design Institute (IDI), and I can't recommend it highly enough! This program truly stands out for anyone serious about entering the field of interior design or simply wanting to deepen their creative skills.
What impressed me most is how hands-on and practical the course is. Unlike some programs that feel overly theoretical, IDI gives you a real feel for what you'll actually be doing as a professional interior designer. From the very beginning, you're diving into meaningful projects—space planning, material selection, color theory application, mood boards, and building a professional portfolio—that mirror real-world work. These assignments aren't just busywork; they build your confidence and help you understand the day-to-day realities of the profession.
The structure is well-organized, with clear modules that guide you step by step, and the feedback from tutors is constructive and timely, which really helps you improve. The online format is flexible, making it perfect for balancing with work or other commitments, yet it never feels isolating thanks to the supportive community and resources.
If you're looking for an accredited, career-focused program that genuinely prepares you for the industry, this is it. I feel much more equipped and excited about pursuing interior design now—thank you, IDI, for an outstanding experience! Highly recommended!

I love how the information is presented clearly, and the assignments are challenging. I think this will give me the tools I need to be successful in a design career. My tutor, Helen, gives wonderful feedback which challenges my thinking and makes me a better designer.

It is great course and worth of it's value though I'm giving 4 star just because I did read few book parallely which was a bit better in terms of examples and picture examples specifically.

IDI has made it possible for me to finish my training on my own time, which has been longer than planned due to two unexpected moves around the country amidst other personal life chaos events. Once settled into my ‘new life’, I was able to pick up where I left off in my course. Thank you IDI. 🌞

I’m a full-time working mom of four, with a husband who travels for work, so flexibility is essential for me. This program has been amazing. Being able to work on coursework on my own schedule has been incredibly helpful, especially when life gets busy.
Beyond the flexibility, I’ve learned so much, and I’m truly grateful I came across The Interior Design Institute. It’s been a great experience and exactly what I needed to advance my career in Aviation design.

I loved it! Really good if you want to learn something new while juggling a busy job, school, or parenting. The modules are thoroughly explained and perfect for self-paced learning. I just wish there were more interactive classes free of cost.

This course is informative and the tutors are very helpful and reply very quickly. The customer service is excellent and replies rapidly. The course is in depth and definitely covers a wide span of the industry and provides various resources for learning. I do like learning on my own but it would be even more helpful if more videos were included throughout the course, there are some within certain modules but I do enjoy watching and listening as a portion of my learning. The tutor feedback is very helpful and my tutor Meghan is extraordinary, her feedback and answers to my questions has helped tremendously.

I like the idea of being able to work at your own pace. I do not like that the tutor is only to grade your work. They don’t check in to see how you are doing with the module or if you need help or additional support.
