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.

We teach you how to become an interior decorator Seriously want to decorate?

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.

Professional Training Courses
Our courses include Professional Courses in Interior Decoration,Colour and Interior Design; and Refresher Courses in Interior Decoration, Colour consultation, Elements and Principles of Design, Interior Drawing and Presentation Techniques.

Age is no barrier to learning and fullfillment Never too late to study.
Home Improvement Courses
We also have a series of Home Improvement Courses for renovators, owner builders and home decorators that have the Changing Rooms bug. So if "The Block" inspired you to renovate your home then we have 10 week courses that can lead you from understanding about colour, to designing bedrooms, curtains, furniture, period style homes and even curtain design.

Enrol at any time of year
Students may enrol in any of our courses at any time of year. All they need is to send the application for the relevant course along with their payment and they will have a course package ready to study within 3 days.

No Entrance Exams or Portfolios Required to Enrol
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 the best students or only those who are artistic and can draw already, so it is easy for us to achieve a high standard! We teach you everything and will have you working at a high standard of achievement very quickly.

The College is a Registered Training Organisation and deliver a VETAB Accredited Certificate 4 in Interior Decoration (NSW 90614) Australia wide; The College also has International Accreditation with IARC (International Accreditation Recognition Council);

Study whilst completing your HSC
Pass your HSC doing a course that will interest and benefit your future Study decoration for the HSC.
We are the only college in NSW to have a NSW VETAB Accredited Certificate 4 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.

Testimonials
Having studied this subject before I believe there is no comparison between this college and its competitors.

The Australian College of Interior Decor has really excelled themselves and I am so impressed with the effort they have taken with considering students needs and the time they have taken to consider everybody's different learning styles.

I have been an accredited coach for many years and understand the work these guys have put in to make sure that each student what ever their learning styles has the same opportunities.

Their new web site has set them above the rest of the distance learning instructions both nationally and internationally and I am sincere when I say that they should be congratulated.

I hope that the work ACID has done will build and profile the college to the heights it deserves."

Cheers, Jill Luke (current student)
