Good information on how to design, draft, and decorate interior spaces. Good on the how to set up a business in this field. Trying to get help online felt impossible nobody seemed to want to help. The teacher always tore me down but gave me an “A” but sometimes she would fail me yet only grade me on one room. Very unorganized had to wait awhile for them to grade my work. Too much money. Aggravated.

I did their “interior design” program. Which in reality in the end is told, you will be an interior decorator at most. So no real chances of getting areal job in the end, unless you open your own people and start scamming people that you actually know something. I don’t recommend it in hopes of getting any design job in the end, unless it’s just for yourself to decorate you house.

I was so excited to start learning AutoCAD but was quickly let down. There is basically no one teaching you except for the book (the only instructor videos are in the first section- they were actually very helpful and I heavily relied on them because I'm a visual learner) The book taught 2017 AutoCAD, but why would I want to learn such a dated version of an extremely involved program(2017 wasn't even available to download) ? I had already purchased the class so I went with 2020 AutoCAD. In the end, I would never recommend this course. Waste of my time and money. I'm sure NYIAD's other courses are fine

This is Gloria from Hong Kong. I'm a new Jewelry design student here. I've been considered to take the online course a long time and finally, I enrolled NYIAD. Here's absolutely amazing online course more than I think. The interactive, connection, and stability with the school, tutor and smoothing procedure to step by step to the test and project. Every unit we could receive the new material for the project and learn some new skill with a flexible schedule. That's really awesome. Now on, I considered to enroll more design course and improve myself more. If NYIAD could turning to an online degree will be much better. Thanks, NYIAD. This is a true story, not an advertisement. Hope you all could have a great distance learning moment.

I believe the content along with the pics are very informative. Sometimes the questions on the test get a little confusing because it's worded differently than what's been said in the chapter. However, it makes you think a little deeper about what the chapter and questions are trying to convey in the test. I appreciate the short videos that give a clear summery of certain key elements within the chapter. I also appreciate the chat room though I don't use it as much as I should but when I do, it motivates me to see other NYIAD students. Thank you for all the information and opportunity to start something new! Sincerely, Marvina ILao

The training is good but there are no templates for practical use. For example, for event planners, NYIAD should provide a sample schedule with real tasks so that students have the tools to begin working. Sample contracts would be helpful as well. Any sample template would be worth while over the test version explaining the need for the document.

Very poor customer service. It should not take up to 2 weeks to grade the work that was turned in and then another week to return it back to the student. If the school is that busy then they should consider hiring more teachers so the turn time is not so long. And also it seems take 2-5 days for the student advisors to answer an email.

I’m so glad to have completed the interior design program with NYIAD! I feel that I’ve learned so much and have already implemented what I’ve learned. A few things were challenging, using regular mail was hard on timing, and also the short chapters on kitchen and bathroom designs I wish would have been more extensive. But over all a really awesome program

For the most part I enjoyed my course. I did feel I should have had some drafting experience before hand. I also think they should have recommended some good books or teaching videos that would have helped a great deal. Learning the different styles/eras of home furnishings were difficult to figure out on the copies you were given for grading. Photos of the furniture would have been so much easier to distinguish them. Also the very short history on Islam was false. They have never conquered anything/anyone peacefully. It is always with violence. I suggest you leave out this statement all together.

The classes are fun and the website is easy to use. Overall, I love this program... I do wish that this program offered something for those who complete the program though, like an internship.. I’ve noticed other online programs offer many more options for after you finish.

I am doing this course via Australia but the turnaround time between sending off your assignment via mail is almost 10 weeks and if there is an issue with your assignment, you have to fix it and resubmit it and hence another 10 weeks before you can move on to your next task. I don’t understand why we cannot just email our work through? I have lost interest due to the process. As for content in this course, I think it is pretty good.

NYIAD is an accredited school online. You can add a certification course to your resume. The best part is that you can go at your own pace. They offer many programs that you can adjust study time as you work. I highly suggest a design program whether you are single, divorced or a married person seeking a credential to add to your resume. ~ Selia ~~

I learned alot and hoping to continue my Ed.Instructors were avaible for questions and gave great advice and constructive criticism when needed. The online system was easy to navigate. Be careful with the instructions in your unit kits vs the online instructions. They can be very confusing. If you have questions just email instructors. They're good about getting back to you quickly.

Good program, just wish there was a way where all videos were accessible through one page or one tab that I can select based on topic. Kind of difficult having to shuffle through pages to try to find something to re-watch. I find myself struggling in my interior design class because of this, when I need to redo a project but being told to re-watch video, takes me forever to find again.

Feng Shui - Even this is a basic course, Feng Shui is an ocean to learn. NYIAD's course discusses about so many methods but with very little explanation. Though I am a home designer and studied other Science of Architecture, I had to web search & read books for explanations throughout the course. Faculties and Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rating is only for NYIAD. An educational institute's quality relies both faculties/staff and the course itself. For the course I would rate 3 stars. This is purely my personal opinion.

I have a great experience with NYIAD . I never fail to contact with my mentor , Ms. Janet .NYIAD has very organized learning system . Professionally equipped books , a great on line teaching method . You never feel you are out of collage . Everything handy . But , key word is “ practice “ anything you do in your life practice Comes with success , your comfort , your professionalism .

Material feels very dated. I’m midway through and it has taken a few years already. Needed materials to be resent to me since I reactivated and it took over a month to receive package which was incomplete. I think there should be instruction on CAD design included.

Currently enrolled in Jewelry Design course and it's better than I imagined. I really thought being online with a hands on course such as this might be an issue but it's been great. Videos are detailed and what I've accomplished with just the first few units is amazing. Instructor is knowledgeable and motivating. Really glad I signed up.

This has been a truly awesome program.! NYIAD has been taking me step by step thru the Interior Design process. I feel confident I will be well equipped to start my business, as soon as, I am finished with my degree. Everything has been organized, well planned, and detail oriented. I’m so glad I chose this program to obtain my Interior Design skills and degree/certification. Bravo NYIAD!

First time ever taking an online course and it has met, if not exceeded, my expectations. I highly recommend the Interior Design Course if you are interested. Great feedback, easy to follow instructions and a wealth of thorough information. Design is not decorating!! There is so much to it, so many puzzle pieces to be put together and NYIAD will help you every step of the way. Prepare to be challenged and prepare to learn! Thank you!
