AUSTIN INTERIOR DESIGN PROGRAMS – NEW!
Please note: Classes will begin upon adequate enrollment.
Fundamentals of Interior Design
Students receive a Certificate in Interior Custom Design once they complete the Fundamentals of Interior Design Certification. In this program, students develop a competitive portfolio and expansive knowledge base which empowers them to work in the Interior Design industry. Projects include the full design and presentation of two residential spaces, including an entire home as the final project. Additional client-specific and concept-based activities are incorporated throughout the course to enforce learning and presentation skills. This program puts equal focus toward core design knowledge, design expression and business practices that together enable students to become successful industry professionals.
Master Certification Program
Students receive a Professional Certificate in Interior Custom Design once they complete the Master Certification Program. This program combines the Fundamentals of Interior Design Program with a series of required courses that provide students with a comprehensive, business-minded interior design education. The certificate is granted through the Seattle Heritage School of Interior Design location. The Master Certification Program requires completion of the following courses:
- Fundamentals of Interior Design
- Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign
- AutoCAD
- SketchUp
- Kitchen & Bath Design
- Business & Entrepreneurship
- Intro to Commercial Design
- Master’s Portfolio Capstone
Individual courses may also be taken by students not enrolled in the Master Certification Program, and by industry professionals with relevant design education or work experience. Read more about all of our courses on the Course Descriptions tab.
