This was such an informative video! Your enthusiasm is contagious. I did click on your link and will be signing up. I am looking at a new career at 57 years old. Interior design has been a passion of mine for years, it’s time to act on it.
Could you post a video about an office space for interior designers? Like where do you keep your samples, sample books, pieces, pictures etc. How do you organize your space to allow for creative thinking & all that?
I love this idea! I’ll have to go through my footage and see if I’ve got any showing how my office was set up. We’ve sold that house and are currently traveling abroad for a season. If I do, I can absolutely make a video showing that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Im so happy I found your video!! I was about to enroll in another online interior course and your video popped up and thank God it did! Very informative. Im so excited that I had to calm myself down lol. Im cleaning my home office right now so my mind and space will be clear and ready to work when I enroll next week. I hope the $200 off link still works when I use it. I have subscribed and followed your instagram for inspiration. God bless your journey. 🥰
Hie Marisa, this was a very informative video, I am IDI student here in Botswana (Africa).I am doing my module 10, I have already subscribed to your channel and looking forward to be learning some ideas from you as I am also planning to start my interior design business.
Thank you for your video!!! It was so inspiring! I am 66 years old and semi retired. I am ready to seriously ready to start this program!!! I will not able to do so until April of this year. Will the $200 discount be available then or do I have to act on it now? Thank you for all the info!!!
How inspiring! I love that you are wanting to dive into something new in your retirement years. Yes, the $200 off code is valid for the foreseeable future. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I am so inspired by your video, thank you for sharing your experience. I have been contemplating enrolling with TIDI. I am now more convinced and even more excited to take it on! All the best to your business!
I might be interested in producing custom soft furnishings for clients and Interior Designers (workroom). Would you have any advice on becoming a supplier to designers? I also live in Southern Ontario.
Ooo great question. Unfortunately I don’t know the first thing about that. I had a couple of local suppliers reach out to me on Instagram and offer me samples of their products. They found me through hashtag searches. 🤷🏻♀️
Hii! I am stay at home mum of 3 ! I live in a rural area and can’t really go out much .. what i wanted to know is if the assignments or any other part of diploma need me to move from time to time?
@@iamloved Thanks a lot. Unfortunately it did not work out for me. I enrolled in it myself and had a completely different vision/experience for the course. I found the course does not provide the value that aligns with the amount of money being charged. For the course, the material basically consisted of PDF files (one per module) and only for one module I believe (drawing and planning spaces), there is one or two videos included. Other than that, everything else is basically centred around a PDF file consisting of 70+ pages on average with no supporting materials such as videos, audios and explanations to enhance learning and engage students. I understand most of the people take it because of the certificate/diploma at the end and see the value of it (and that is okay) but I think this course is far from being a good one and receive all the hype it receives. The material lacks a lot of structure and explanations specifically on the examples given within the PDFs.
@@darlanarruda I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. More video content would be helpful for sure - especially for visual learners like myself. But the content in each module is rich and provides a great overview of the topics discussed. Because each module is only released once the assignment from the previous module is submitted, you wouldn't have seen the actual content in future modules. I found the hands-on, practical assignments to be a big piece of the value. Having to put things into practice and receiving guidance and feedback from a qualified tutor was a major part of the learning. That being said, it's not for everyone, which is why they offer the money-back guarantee. Thanks for sharing your experience with me. I wish you all the best as you pursue learning Interior Design!
Also in Canada, please share what organizations recognize this program. I wanted to find out if it was a legitimate program, and it is not recognized by CIDA, from what I can gather anyway.
You’ll have to research your Province requirement. For some, if you work with a licensed designer or architect for a certain number of hours you can take the governing body’s exam to become a licensed interior designer. It’s different from place to place though.
Hi! I’m glad you found it helpful. I signed up for the regular program and then they offered the additional master series as an add-on purchase after the completion of the first 2 or 3 modules (I don’t remember exactly).
Waste of money in my case. My tuitor is useless AF, whenever I have a question she tells me to msg the student support, and then they try to brush me off saying I should ask my tuitor for clarification. If it happens that they do explain something, it never really answers my question. Video explanation (especially Module 4) is leaving out the most important points. But they’re good at taking your money tho!
Oh no! I’m so sorry this has been your experience. In my interactions with dozens and dozens of students I’ve never heard of this before. How awful. My tutor was absolutely amazing and was so supportive - especially in Module 4!
Video explanations for modules (4) are useless and lack major information that would help with doing the assignment. In 3 modules we are required to have architectural knowledge in order to do the job architects are supposed to do, not interior designers. I regret wasting 1000 something euros on this bullcrap. Glad it worked out for you tho
No I haven't. The pathway is outlined here. www.cidq.org/paths I don't have the hours needed, nor have I looked into finding a qualified supervisor or sponsor.
hai i love ur video long ago i just found ur in canada i got pr moving soon i done my diploma im trying to get job gain experience internship interior hiring more calgary or toranto plz help thanku
Hi I "graduated" last night and was wondering, if you got it shipped, how long did you take your diploma? Because I requested one to be shipped to me. Though I think I made the wrong move because I need the Diploma asap for a requirement and I cant see a "download diploma pdf" anywhere and im worried its gonna take months or even a year to get it. All i have is the summary letter and the acknowledgement
Hey! First of all, congratulations! You must be so proud of your accomplishment. In regards to the diploma, I believe I printed mine myself ..but to be honest I don't even remember. I feel like I would have printed it myself though. Sorry I can't be of more help! All the best with your new design adventures!
@@rmb777 hi i messaged my tutor on the site and the student service was the one who answered with my diploma's pdf attached. Though i requested for a hard copy, it hasnt arrived yet and have no idea how to follow up. But they said it could to 1-2 months tops so i have a month and a half to wait so i cant surely answer about the "hard copy" part
@@rmb777 I truly don't remember. Someone else asked me that. If I had to guess what I would have done, I would have printed it out myself. Sorry! I don't know why that detail isn't clear in my head.

You’ll need to drive around your city for some assignments. But a lot of the “legwork” can be done on a computer.
Thanks for the video. just signed up using your referral link. Do they send a physical diploma or is it a digital option?
Yay! I hope you enjoy it! You’ll have the option between either diploma.

No I haven't. The pathway is outlined here. www.cidq.org/paths
I don't have the hours needed, nor have I looked into finding a qualified supervisor or sponsor.
What programs did you use and do they provide you with any programs that you can download?
They provide a list of program suggestions you can use for the various assignments. I used Canva and Live Home 3D Pro (to create a floor plan).
Do you know if this diploma would be excepted in Manitoba ? Thanks
I don't. Sorry! You can google local interior designer accreditation and find out what is accepted though!

How exciting! I wish you all the best in your travels!
does this diploma look good on job applications?
Good question. I suppose that would depend on the company/employer.
Can you become a interior designer even if your drawing skills are poor?
Yes. Computer aided design (CAD) programs work well if drawing isn't quite your thing.
🙏🙏
Glad you liked the video!
