I have really appreciated the self-paced nature of this course since I work full time. The modules have been very thorough and informative while not being overwhelming
I also really enjoy and appreciate the feedback and support from Khamille.

I learned so much from this class! It is inexpensive for the amount of knowledge you gain, and I feel very prepared to start my design business after taking it!

The instruction provided by the Interior Design Institute has been incredibly helpful in my first years of interior design work. What I’ve learned so far has been well worth it, and I truly appreciate when my trainer is detail-oriented and gives criticism on how I can improve. I look forward to completing my final modules and would highly recommend this course. Khamille Joy has been an amazing teacher, and I always look forward to hearing her instruction at the end of each module.
I loved learning to create mood boards, and I incorporate these at my job almost every day.

I enrolled in the Interior Design Institute course with high expectations. I am currently halfway through the program, and my experience has been mixed so far.
The course material is clear and structured, but it is entirely reading-based. Personally, I expected more video support or recorded explanations from designers to help reinforce the learning process. While this may not be essential for everyone, it would make the course feel more complete.
I also found the tutor support somewhat limited. While working on the floor plan assignment, I sent two emails for clarification, and the responses I received were brief and did not fully address my questions. I eventually had to rely on friends for help to complete the assignment.
Another challenge is that students without prior experience with design software such as SketchUp may find it difficult to keep up, as there is little technical guidance provided.
That said, the course is not bad. It provides a good foundation and useful structure for beginners, but, in my opinion, it could benefit from more interactive teaching resources and stronger engagement with tutors.
Overall, I still believe the program has value, but it did not fully meet the expectations I had when enrolling.

The experience has been great. I’m really enjoying both the material and the projects. It’s interesting, and the best part is that it’s very hands-on. The program covers a broad spectrum, so I’m learning many different aspects of the industry, which I love.
The more challenging part is the technical side; learning new programs and figuring out how to use them to complete projects. But when it comes to the actual interior design content, it’s been fantastic.

This course fits perfectly with my random schedule! It’s very in depth and my tutor is knowledgeable and thorough with her feedback!

I’ve had a great experience with the Interior Design Institute so far. I’m currently finishing Module 10, with only two modules left, and I’ve learned a lot.
The course is well structured, easy to follow, and flexible to study at your own pace. The assignments are practical and really help apply what you learn.
I would definitely recommend this course to anyone interested in interior design.

I would like to make a brief observation regarding the ability to differentiate between concepts. One detrimental aspect of the options is the lack of sufficient explanations, and in some parts, the explanations are inadequate, making it difficult to fully grasp certain concepts.
I hope this will be taken into consideration to improve the quality of educational content.

I appreciated the material in this course. I am self taught, read a lot and worked with other fellow designers and gained a lot of experience in these ways. However, taking this course has given me a lot more confidence, skills, tools and resources that I did not gain on my own. I discovered a lot more through the course. It makes me feel more prepared for the real world. In my opinion, self-control and self-motivation is vital to start and finish this course, a lot of reading is involved. It’s definitely within the reach of the average person to accomplish. Because of time and management I had to purchase another 12 months to finish it. My tutor has been great and responsive. I continue to recommend this course to people

I’ve learned so much by taking courses through the Interior Design Institute. I feel more confident because it has helped me to refine my skills and taught me new ones along the way. The ability to work at my own pace has been very helpful. I’m very pleased with my experience and would highly recommend the course.

Being self paced is ideal for me. When I reach out to my instructors they respond promptly and are always helpful and encouraging. I look forward to investing in advanced courses.

Great program, especially for the cost! I wasn't sure what to expect at the onset but what I've learned so far has been a great value. I'm not sure if I'll be able to parlay this into a career, per say, but I've learned so much that will help me in our own home projects. And the online learning support has been wonderful. I'd add that joining the FB group has also been really helpful & gets you more in touch with other students that may be struggling at the same point you are. Additionally, the modules definitely get more challenging (and time-consuming!!) as you progress, but after each one I've completed, my sense of satisfaction is huge.
I'm taking the Advanced SketchUp module next- can't wait to see how much better this will make my renderings!

I’m currently a student at the Interior Design Institute and just finished Module 10 of 12—and I have to say, I am absolutely loving it! I can’t stress enough how thorough and well-structured the course is. Every module is packed with valuable insights, practical exercises, and clear guidance.
One of the best parts is being able to learn at my own pace. It makes it so much easier to really absorb the material and revisit concepts whenever I need to. This flexibility, combined with the depth of content, makes the learning experience truly enjoyable.
I couldn’t recommend the Interior Design Institute more for anyone looking to seriously level up their interior design skills!

I'm having a blast doing the IDI course! I'm halfway through it and the modules are exactly what I was looking for. The readings are interesting and the final activities are great to apply the knowledge I learned in each module. I'm excited for what's ahead!

The Interior Design Institute has been an incredible experience. As someone who wanted a flexible yet comprehensive way to study interior design, this program exceeded my expectations. The course material is well organized, easy to follow, and covers everything from design principles and space planning to materials, color theory, and professional practice.
One of the things I appreciate most is the self-paced structure, which allowed me to complete assignments while balancing other responsibilities. The assignments are practical and thoughtfully designed, helping you apply what you learn in real-world scenarios rather than just reading theory.
The tutors are knowledgeable and provide helpful, constructive feedback that truly supports your growth as a designer. I’ve especially enjoyed creating mood boards, floor plans, and material boards that feel like real design work.
Overall, this program has given me both confidence and practical skills in interior design. I would highly recommend the Interior Design Institute to anyone looking to start a career in design or deepen their understanding of the field.

I’ve really enjoyed my course with the Interior Design Institute. The material is clear, practical, and easy to follow, which makes learning feel approachable even when covering more detailed topics. I’ve found the lessons to be very helpful in building my understanding of interior design and developing real skills I can apply. Overall, it’s been a great learning experience and I would definitely recommend the course to anyone interested in studying interior design.

I have enjoyed the program. It is comprehensive and prepares for a job in the design world. Aspects of the course need extra time to master especially for a student that is older and went through college without the use of on-line courses or computers for that matter.

Reply from The Interior Design Institute
The assignment in each module requires the student to apply the information learned. These assignments are often quite hard because it sounds easy while reading it but the application of the concepts is where the learning occurs.

Reply from The Interior Design Institute
My experience has been pleasant with this school. I absolutely love the detailed feedback from my tutor and how the materials are easy to follow.
