Advanced Certificate in Interior Design NZ

You have a great eye for design, but lack the technical skills to go professional.

🤔

You love design but don't know the process. It's hard to move from picking pretty things to creating a full, cohesive plan for a client.

🇳🇿

Finding NZ-specific advice is tricky. You need to know where to source materials locally and how to run a business here.

💻

You're not sure what software to use or how to create the professional plans and presentations that clients expect.

A different approach

A course that works the way you do.

Every lesson comes in five formats. You can read the text, watch a video, listen to audio, look at slides, or chat with your AI tutor. Learn your way, on your own time.

I want to start my own design business in NZ, but I have no idea how to set my fees. Where do I even start?
AI Tutor
That's a very common question. Designers in New Zealand often use a few methods: a flat fee for the project, an hourly rate, or a percentage of the total project cost. The best method depends on the project's scope and what you agree on with your client. We can look at the pros and cons of each model to help you decide.
