Interior Design

Interior Design is a creative and technically challenging field. Training at college for a career in interior decorating is for those who have a keen sense of aesthetics and a thorough understanding of the importance of using space effectively and efficiently. While learning different aspects of design, students develop the artistic abilities necessary in order to carry out both commercial and residential projects. The Academy in Montreal provides AutoCAD (computer assisted design) training that enables the student to be on the leading edge of the Interior Design Field. The Academy's approach to Interior Design is to develop the student's talents and skills to their fullest potential through exposure to all aspects of interior decoration.

Upon completion of their program, interior design students will be able to:

	Participate in the design, development and execution of architectural drafts and interior plans as well as technical plans;
	Understand the concepts and fundamental principles of problem solving and the efficient use of space;
	Participate in the preliminary planning or programming and concept development;
	Outline a decoration plan through the use of sketches, photos and models;
	Select, specify and coordinate the use of various products, materials and services required to carry out a project;
	Prepare estimates and requests for tenders;
	Supervise workers.

The program includes a 2-month internship within a company to practice skills learned throughout the Interior Design program.
