I have been enjoying doing this Interior Design Certification Program and learning a lot.

I have been enjoying doing this Interior Design Certification program as this was my Dream since my childhood. I don't think i could get a better Certification program to do with my schedule and responsibilities. The Interior Design Institute is the best online course. Very good customer service. The material and information they share in the program with examples and images is simple and easy to understand and any question we are guided by the given tutor. My tutor Meghan Yang is the best-very knowledgeable and experienced in this field, very prompt in replying and guiding me step by step & has a lot of patience. I would highly recommend The Interior Design Institute to those who are interested in this field and want to pursue a career in it.

Saluters Of The Industry

For anyone embarking a new voyage, that somebody who clears the path is very decisive and indelible. Prospective designers enrolled in IDI can surely witness the lasting influence they can take on to their interior design career. The cutting-edge module content and practice-oriented assignment system allow students to experience a new way of self-learning process. Informative study notes, key attachments, referenced cases and the active website made the online education very efficient. Again, I proudly endorse IDI for anyone envisioning themselves as a designer.

WELL WORTH THE EXPENSE ... EXCELLENT!!

This course provides extensive information on each of the modules. It is most valuable that IDI offers examples from previous students, which assures us that we are on point with requirements for that particular assignment. Useful vendor and other source directories are provided for current and future use. It is great that students are given options on acceptable software platforms for module submission. Both SketchUp and especially AutoCad may require you to play 'catch up' if they are unfamiliar. There is an added bonus factor -- the tutors recommend various blogs to further assist in understanding the concept, rhyme or reason on an assignment. Nice that each module can be revisited for future reference, if need be, and should give one more confidence to proceed into their Interior Design career field endeavors.

This course is exceeding my expectations!

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.

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!

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.

Thank you IDI

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. 🌞

Working mom of four kids.

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.
