I m glad that I took this course I ve been working in the field for several years and needed to know some details like how to measure a room etc However I will say that the videos that teach you are quite outdated I live in the South and I have to say that NO ONE here decorates with heavy ornate antiques and old school oversized furniture anymore With that being said I took it with a grain of salt and did my best to perform using those guidelines I do wish that it would have been a little more modern and helpful for today s decorators Also my professor was 75 years old and she reviewed activity that I did from her old school mentality She would frequently send my assignments back to me to re-do when honestly there was no point She retired midway through my journey and the new professor that was assigned to me was superb She understood the process and was very forgiving on the little errors instead of making you re-do the entire project It took me 18 months to complete because the turn around time on projects being graded was 3-4 weeks It was frustrating when trying to finish on a personal goal of 12 months You get what you pay for All in all I m glad that I did it

Without a defined time table to keep to it s easy to put things off for too long Find the comments difficult to understand - it s not always clear what s expected

I love the course content however I still have issues with how project assignments are submitted Very complicated for someone who knows just the basics in computers

Good course content Communication is not great and long wait times on project grading Its hard to call and get answers from anyone Also i was told I could call back after signing up to get the discounted rate for ncidq exam when i called back I was told no

Online coursework is evaluated in this review 1 Content is detailed and varies appropriately between written material videos to watch and projects to complete 2 Some of the resources apps stores and other add-ons are out of date and some are non-existent 3 The mentor and evaluation feedback is sparse and often unclear The handwriting is illegible 4 Overall even though this is an online class I expected a more personal experience and much better feedback I would have liked to hear from my mentor every so often and I expected to get more thorough explanations of my grades and suggestions for improvement The evaluators don t seem to be invested

The classes are fun and the website is easy to use Overall I love this program I do wish that this program offered something for those who complete the program though like an internship I ve noticed other online programs offer many more options for after you finish

Material feels very dated I m midway through and it has taken a few years already Needed materials to be resent to me since I reactivated and it took over a month to receive package which was incomplete I think there should be instruction on CAD design included

I am doing this course via Australia but the turnaround time between sending off your assignment via mail is almost 10 weeks and if there is an issue with your assignment you have to fix it and resubmit it and hence another 10 weeks before you can move on to your next task I don t understand why we cannot just email our work through I have lost interest due to the process As for content in this course I think it is pretty good

The training is good but there are no templates for practical use For example for event planners NYIAD should provide a sample schedule with real tasks so that students have the tools to begin working Sample contracts would be helpful as well Any sample template would be worth while over the test version explaining the need for the document

I did their interior design program Which in reality in the end is told you will be an interior decorator at most So no real chances of getting areal job in the end unless you open your own people and start scamming people that you actually know something I don t recommend it in hopes of getting any design job in the end unless it s just for yourself to decorate you house
