Welcome to the National Design Academy
Whether you are looking to further your Interior Design career or simply enhance your creativity, the National Design Academy is proud to offer fully accredited Interior Design courses. From Foundation to Degree level, our courses are designed for you to study from the comfort of your own home.
Established for 22 years, we are the largest and most successful design school in the UK, with over 20,000 students having graduated. Our validated and accredited interior design qualifications are fully recognised by employers and Higher Education establishments ensuring our students achieve their career aspirations.
If you have little or no interior design experience, start with our Level 3 Diploma. This will give you the skills you need to design your own project or help family and friends with theirs. The Diploma is our 'access to Higher Education' qualification and successful Diploma students are guaranteed a place on our Foundation Degree. For a career in interior design you can then progress through the Foundation Degree to BA (Hons) Interior Design.
Our courses qualify for partial government funding which means much lower fees than those charged by Universities, and all the studies are flexible enough for you to continue with other work and family commitments.
We pride ourselves in offering courses that are accessible to all, even if you have no existing interior design qualifications or have individual learning needs.
Contact us today, our admissions staff and tutors would be happy to offer you any advice and assistance.
