This course is designed to train people to become professional interior decorators and allows students to gain a recognised qualification by part-time study. It is an ideal training for anybody working within the industry wanting to further their career opportunities, although students with no experience can enrol.

Students will be required to come into the college for two days each week for three ten week terms, although students will be required to study outside these hours including out-of-term project work. The days at the college run from 10.00am - 4.00pm.

Each term of the part-time course runs for 10 weeks:
    The September start date runs on Monday and Tuesdays
     The January start date runs on Wednesday and Thursdays

THE ROLE OF AN INTERIOR DECORATOR
There is often some confusion between the role of an interior designer and an interior decorator. In its simplest form, an interior designer would carry out the planning and design of a space whereas an interior decorator would advise on the style, arrangement and decoration of surfaces within that space (usually domestic), and this could include the furniture layout, colour scheme, soft furnishings, window treatments and accessories.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
No previous art or design experience is necessary but students must be at least eighteen years old and mature students are particularly encouraged. Entry is by an informal interview and numbers are strictly limited. The purpose of the interview is to discuss applicants' motivation, academic ability and the reasons for undertaking the training. English language ability must also be competent and we look for a minimum score of 6 on the International English Language Testing System or its equivalent. Students on KLC’s Certificate Courses must have their own computer for internet research and general word processing functions.
