Does anyone know of any companies that offers interior design courses at home?

Not that I'm up in the wee small hours - but does Open University run any courses? I know they've got a website. I'll look it up now and return with the answer later. Have you sold any of your art, by the way? Jill

Hi. Me again. I looked up on Jeeves and found www.open.ac.uk/search.

I am an OU student and I'm afraid the OU don't do interior design courses it mainly does the usual academic subjects at the moment, but who knows if enough people ask for one they may start.

Have you tried the national extension college (this may not be the right name and I don't know a number either) I think they do more vocational courses by distance learning, I could be wrong

I concur. I work at the OU in Milton Keynes and it only offers Academic courses.

There are no design courses offered.

I'm doing a home study interior design course, which is run by the Regent Academy of Fine Arts in Regent St. London. You can get a government ILA grant which reduces the cost of it somewhat. At the end you will receive a diploma and can then go on to take the City and Guilds Certificate exam. Call them on: 0207 287 3348 for details. I'm sure that you'll enjoy the course.

I am currently studying interior design at home with ICS Learning Systems, Clydeway Skypark, 8 Elliot Place, Glasgow G3 8EP.

It's probably not as high tech as the others that cost an arm and a leg, but you can study in your own time. There are about 6 modules with a test paper you send in after each one. Ther is no pressure as to how often you send your tests in. Good luck.

I am also looking for information on interior design courses at home......i found one i am looking at through a company called ICS - Interior Design and Complete Gardening £499 for the 1 year course - call 0500 888003 hope your find one you are looking for.....please let me know if you find any other courses
