NEW DVD's Produced by the college!
We would like to introduce you to our latest products, our educational DVD's. The college has had immense fun over the past year producing two DVD's for our customers and students. We were lucky to hire a presenter for our DVD's Mr Chris Brown, just before his face became famous on television and he has done a great job of presenting this valuable information to you.
I am sure you will love the setting used for the DVD's and the information we have provided is essential for anyone who needs help with colour, design, decoration, renovation or owner building.
Welcome to the Australian College of Interior Decor. We are located in Sydney,
NSW Australia and specialise in teaching Interior Decorating, Colour and
Interior Design; for students wanting to become designers, consultants or
specialists in this industry as well as for students who simply want to
redecorate, renovate or owner build their homes. We have had 15 years
experience delivering such courses via distance education and our students
achieve an excellent standard of work.
We are Australian and our courses are Australian teaching students about
Australian products, materials and standards and about how to work in this
industry in this country. We are a College first and not a marketing company
and thus we only specialise in one area of study; Interior Design, Colour and
Decoration!
Distance Education; Correspondence; Home Study;
All of these terms refer to education from home. So that you may study from
home either full time or part time and whilst you work. The College is located
in Sydney, NSW Australia but because we deliver via correspondence our students
come from everywhere.

lead you from understanding about colour, to designing bedrooms, curtains,
furniture, period style homes and even curtain design.

There is no interview, no completed portfolio required prior to studying our
courses and no exam required for students to enrol. We are teaching you, we do
not expect that you know anything about our course content. We do not select

course in Interior Decoration (90614 NSW) that is approved for VET / HSC
courses for use in high schools in Australia. That means Year 11 and 12
students can begin to study Interior Decoration whilst still at school.
Mature Entry
The majority of our students are mature aged and are studying our courses in
order to either change their professions; add to their credentials; become
consultants that can work on an hourly basis; take up renovation in order to
buy & sell houses; or study a subject that they have always dreamed of
doing.
Part Time Study
Our courses are based on distance education and thus have some flexibility as
to how they are studied. Our training modules are usually 8-12 weeks each and
students may do as little as 3 modules per year (if they need more time to
complete their studies) or as many as they wish if they need to fast track
their qualifications.
No Hidden Costs
It has taken us years, but we have done all the study for you! We offer our
students comprehensive notes, with current, relevant pictures of Australian
decorating and design examples, architecture, products and materials. Students
enrol and then pay for their Modules; there are no extra hidden costs or text
book expenses. Our Professional Training Courses require students to purchase
an Art Kit from Module 1 and they can literally start studying their course
when the package arrives.
Student support
We are leaders in distance education and our student service is unparalleled by
other colleges. We have had years of experience providing support and
assistance for our distance education students. Our staff includes not only
qualified professional designers but also qualified teachers and our courses
are practical and relevant to the industry. Look around at our site and see
what we do, we will satisfy your every need.
