Interior Design - Accelerated Certificate and Part Time

The Interior Design part-time program at VCC is tailored to the needs of the residential interior design industry. Students learn the theory and practice of interior design through conceptual explorations of space, sustainability research, and computer-aided design programs. Students will discover the power of design by seeking solutions to create and change the spaces that people live, work and play in.

Taught by award winning designers, this certificate-granting program has two processes for completion. The first at your own leisure, taking one to five courses over the duration of five years. The second, an accelerated method designed so that you can complete the program in a year, with a September or January start.

During your studies, you will visit on-site firms, suppliers and manufacturers. This authentic learning experience creates an in-depth understanding of the design industry, enhances classroom learning and provides important exposure to the industry.

The Interior Design Certificate (or equivalent) is required for entry into our National Kitchen and Bath accredited Diploma program and contains several courses that are transferable to Interior Design Diploma programs in British Columbia

The part-time program has start dates of September, January and April. The accelerated 11 month program has a start date of September.
