The IARC plays a role in ensuring quality standards relating to course content, delivery, assessment and administration are maintained. IARC's role as an independent recognition association gives reassurance the Academy has undergone checks relevant to the post-secondary education industry.

The Australian Academy of Interior Design is owned and operated by Further Learning Australia Pty Ltd (a Registered Training Organisation - RTO 46046). Registered training organisations (RTOs) deliver nationally recognised training in the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector. To deliver this training, they need to be approved by the Australian Skills Quality Authority (ASQA). VET is the main way Australians upskill or reskill with 4 million students each year.

I would recommend this course to anyone interested in interior design… and I have actually. This course is very comprehensive and for anyone with a busy lifestyle this would really suit their schedule. I felt like an interior designer from the very first assignment!

I’m delighted with the decision to go down this path. I didn’t find it difficult to motivate myself because I absolutely loved the work. I really enjoyed doing the assignments. It’s been life changing - it’s been really great for me.

Graduate

It was a brilliant course to be able to do from home. If you have a flair for and are passionate about interior design, it is a really good course. You cover so much content and you can continue your studies if you wish to specialise after the course.
Louise Higgins
Interior Designer, Graduate

I was meant to start studying interior design over ten years ago but got sidetracked. I have two small kids and a part-time job, so this is the only way I could do it. This is just brilliant - so far, so good. I’m loving it so much.
