Trade Schools
There are many trade schools out there that offer Interior Design as a course. Some of these schools are accredited and can give you the certification that you need. (Know that your credentials will not be as high or recognizable as those from a College or University) These schools do offer many of the same courses but they are condensed, and blended together to suit a shorter course duration.
You can generally expect the entire course to last from one year or two. The tuition is generally half of what you could expect to pay at a College or University. Your tuition could cost as little as ,000 for two years or ,000 for one. Materials are generally included in the tuition, and financial aid is also available.
Some Trade Schools do not have a set schedule for the finish of a program. Some will let you go at your own pace and finish as quickly or slowly as you need to. If you chose to go this route, be sure to check to see that it is an accredited school, and ask what is included in your tuition. Also ask what type of certification you will receive.
Also, you will often have to work under specific instructions as to what the client is looking for, so listening skills will be important here.
Interior Designing Info
You will need to be very well organized if your design projects lead you to having to add or remove a room and/or wall.
This is where you will study the necessary information that you will need to do Interior Design as a profession, but you will not be certified. Get a job at a department or furniture store so that you can get a feel for the job, and the newest and most interesting design techniques. You really just need to ask yourself a few simple questions to really know which field might give you the most enjoyment.
