What Our Students Say...

Hear what past and present students have to say about studying at the NDA

It has been so enjoyable and informative, I have gained a world of information with regards to Interior Design. Yes it was a bit challenging at times with my busy schedule but all in all it was a fantastic experience. The amount of information supplied by the NDA for every unit was very informative, enlightening and more than sufficient for the subject at hand. My Tutor's conduct, experience, humor, unbiased views and superb teaching was excellent in every sphere of Interior Design.
Jade Persaud-Kanick Diploma - Professional Interior Design
Because it was my first experience in Interior Design, I was very surprised of how many factors and Interior Designer has to take in consideration to plan and do a good Interior. In my opinion the course was well organized. I think that the course was very good, the tutors always motivated us and they created a sense of community. Everything was perfect.
Fast-Track StudentDiploma - Professional Interior Design
NDA has projected a superb and comprehensive layout for the Diploma course. The VLS is very user friendly and the resources and gallery sections are very detailed and informative. The front desk staff of the NDA have also been very helpful and friendly - overall the NDA has really proven to be an all round superior learning institution for the world of Interior Design.
Jade Persaud-Kanick Diploma - Professional Interior Design
I chose to study the Interior Design Diploma at the NDA primarily because of its AIM Awards accreditation. The distance learning was of great importance because of my other commitments and meant that I could achieve a good balance between work, personal life and study.
Anita BrownDiploma - Professional Interior Design
It was an easy decision to study with the NDA. One of the things that made the whole process so much easier was the VLS platform. It's a great method of communication between student and tutor but also in terms of receiving work and submitting feedback.
John NivenDiploma - Professional Interior Design
I would recommend anybody with a willingness to study Interior Design to consider the National Design Academy. The tutor support is fantastic and it is a great way to gain qualifications without having to put the rest of your life on hold.
Amy JohnsonDiploma - Professional Interior Design
It is an amazing course which exceeded my expectations as I thought it would be less informative instead I learned more than I expected to learn and the assignments were more challenging than I imagined. Thanks for the amazing course!
Lolowa Al MazroueiDiploma - Professional Interior Design
I have enjoyed the course immensely. Not only have I gained some knowledge into the interior design world but my main gain is in my confidence which has really grown during the course, which has been noticed by friends and colleagues…
Linda AstonDiploma - Professional Interior Design
I chose to study Interior Design because I’ve always thought that I’d be good at it. I started by doing the Diploma course at the NDA just to see if I had ‘it’ and if I enjoyed the subject, and I loved it! So much so that I jumped straight from that course to the Degree.
