The Full-Time Diploma in Interior Design is ZIDA’s complete professional programme. Over 15 months you move through three Studios, each building on the last, followed by a professional internship.
You learn design principles, space planning, technical drawing, materials and finishes, lighting, AutoCAD, SketchUp and rendering, and you apply them to residential and commercial projects. By the end you have a portfolio that shows how you think and work as a designer.
