The 3 day short course will give you the knowledge you need to Do It Yourself. From taking a brief, planning a room/building to scale, space planning, mood and product boards.
We will arm you with the practical knowledge you need to set about designing yourself and even how to cost and manage it! Again, no prior knowlege is needed, just a questioning, open mind. Great if you have a larger project than just a room to revamp.
All course materials and lunch will be provided along with a certificate of completion. Again a good idea before you commit to a long course.
Thank you so much for an excellent course. I really enjoyed it, it made me focus and I believe i achieved some good results by the end.
My kitchen/sitting area has been much improved through some good accessories, and I have made a great wall hanging - I am sure as a direct result of the course.
My husband liked the mood boards and is in agreement of all the changes I suggested! Amazing!
Thank you for inspiring me, it was a great course.

This 3 day Cad course is aimed at anyone who wants to begin using CAD to save time and add to their existing skills. It may be daunting but we will take the mystery out of it and show you what an easy transition it can be. You will need a basic computer knowledge - you may be using Office (word or excel) or similar software.
At the end of the course you will have the knowhow to draw up and print plans to scale, space plan and how to save in different formats so you can email clients and contractors. Think how much time you'll save!
'My daughter was delighted with the 3 day CAD course she received. Lottie found it to be inspirational and interesting. The tutor commitment was outstanding, always on time and lessons very well planned to suit individual needs. Lottie has found the training invaluable in her work. I have no hesitation in recommending Interior Design & CAD Workshops to any future aspiring designers.'

This course combines 2D and 3D and is great to get your plans off the ground (so to speak!). Most of the things you will learn about 2D, also apply to 3D so it's an easy step to make. We will again take you through the basics but add some 3D tuition, letting you plan your area in 3D on the last day and show you how quick it can be. Clients will know exactly what they are getting before you begin on-site. At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion.
“This course has been a valuable help in CAD design. Gail has got the ability and calmness to guide you through
all the stages and before you know where you are you are producing an
amazing layout. I recommend this course highly, its rare that you find
someone that can deliver exactly what you need.”

"As a photoshop novice I contacted Gail to first discuss what I wanted and hoped to achieve with this package. She then devised a simple but comprehensive introduction, then we worked through some practical examples on the day. As it was one to one the flexibility and focus on my requirements was spot on and I left feeling that I could tackle simple projects on my own. "

Our 'Total Interior Designer' course gives you all the skills you need without having to do 2 or 3 separate courses and will teach you the one thing some interior design courses don't have and that's CAD.
The first module - Interior Design will go through drawing a plan to scale, planning a room plus making a mood board. In the CAD section, we will then draw the plan in 2D and 3D and put it all together in the last module - Photoshop.
Not only will you learn what an Interior Designer does but you'll be able to draw it all up and put together your design using the latest computer software and you will also know how to do it on paper.
The course also covers how to cost your design and project manage it, making it a total interior designer experience.
Included in the course are all course materials plus your free interior designer kit, lunch and our certificate of completion.
"I went on Gail's Total Interior Designer course with funding from the Train to Gain initiative. Gail's personal and friendly approach made learning a pleasure.
Gail was fantastic at making the subject matter relevant to my work. I was able to do 3D drawings in CAD which is an invaluable skill in both the pitching and delivery stages of my event work.
Clients have been able to visualise their events much more clearly and I have found that possessing this skill has helped give me a competitive advantage in my industry.
I cannot recomend Gail highly enough and I hope to continue using her services for top up courses."

"Gail gave me a fantastically clear introduction to Autocad 2007. Her one-to-one personal approach with short teaching sessions followed by lots of hands on exercises makes it easy to follow. She has a very friendly approach and encourages you to ask questions throughout the sessions. I shall definitely return to Gail for further advanced training when I need it"
