This two year Interior Decorating diploma program, located at our North campus, focuses on skills needed for an exciting career in the design of interior spaces.
The Interior Decorating program deals with the combination of critical thinking and technical skills that are needed to develop spaces for clients. Students that have a passion for drawing, colour, textiles and finishes are taught how to transform their talents into the tools used by professional decorators found in a vast number of design fields. Our goal is to teach students the art of space design and communication with clients, contractors and consultants.
For more information on any of the following, please see the current Academic Calendar.
After two years of study our graduates have chosen to work in television, design studios, real-estate, boutiques, and large retail stores or with interior space developers. As well, many students have developed their own private freelance practices which afford them the luxury of being independent.
Graduates are employed in a variety of creative and stimulating areas: retail/wholesale showroom sales specializing in fabrics, wall coverings, lighting, furniture and carpets or in the kitchen and bath industry; boutiques, television, decoration planning services; decoration studios and self-employment.
Our on campus facilities which include the AutoCAD labs, lounge and sample room allow students to remain within a studio environment that is tailored to their unique needs. In addition, the college library contains a large section of reference and video material and the campus bookstore sells tools, supplies and textbooks which support this course.
Our labs train students on the latest version of AutoCAD and in-depth technical knowledge such as drafting and other computer skills through the use of Microsoft Office.
