Thanks Sarah. Great to discover this. Appreciate your tips… same reasons I chose this course. Think course lacks visual resources like webinars so finding you tube clips is really helpful. 🙌 appreciate ur work . Did u do autocad with IDI that was the one advanced thing I plan to add on.

@Ajitkaur5 5 месяцев назад

As a single mom and 48 years old I am only have 12 more classes left to get my BA in Business with a Marketing certificate. I want to become an Interior Designer but the thought of going back to University and taking on more crazy loans is not something I want at my age especially. Thank you for this video! I was looking at NYIAD but to be honest it looks kind of junkie and is more expensive.

@SarahAdnan 7 месяцев назад

I'm happy to hear that - wishing you the best of luck in pursuing interior design!

@Wholenessismyhappyplace 2 года назад

Thank you for this video, I was on the fence on whether to take IDI sketch up course but i will do it now based on your review. 🙏🏽❤️

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

best of luck!

@samdr6387 2 года назад

I am really thankful for you making these videos ... can you please make videos about building codes ...thank you ♥

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try to!

@ireneroldan6002 Год назад

Hi, Im living in Ny and my question is if this course is for me since it is only approved by DDA?

@tanvikanekar7939 7 месяцев назад

Hi Sarah, did you consider NYIAD? any pros and cons?

@LunaHeartsLife Год назад

Hi is the Institute accredited for Quebec too or only outside of Quebec? Thank you❤

@user-uq9hn3ee6x 9 месяцев назад

Hi Sarah, thank you for your honest review. This is so helpful. I am wondering also about the sketch up course. Would you recommend their class or another online course. I was looking into The Little Design Corner as well. Which one would you recommend. Thanks for your help!

@SarahAdnan 9 месяцев назад

The IDI sketchup course is excellent, got me started at a beginner level. I would also recommend Sketchup Hub - you can use my referral link to take the beginner bundle course: sketchuphub.com/course/sketchup-bundle-interior-design-floor-plan/?wpam_id=285

@feeh5582 Год назад

Hi Sarah, Within the floor design programs you listed are there easier ones to learn. if so which ones please?

@SarahAdnan Год назад

The programs are listed in the description!

@kajolpatel7897 Год назад

Hi Sarah. This video is definitely fantastic. I will go for IDI. Can you please refer some marketing books or course?

@SarahAdnan Год назад

Thanks for watching! I don’t know of any one off marketing courses since I completed my degree in that field. But you can sign up for a coaching session with me through my website and I might be able to assist with your marketing needs!

@MinimalistMuse 2 года назад

Thank you for the detailed video and inspiring people like me to follow dreams. Quick question - did you take the Darren Palmer MASTERSERIES?

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

I did not, I took the regular one offered.

@valerieputresa8683 Год назад

Hi! Thank you for this great video! May I ask how long it took you to complete the modules? In US it is offered for 12 months

@SarahAdnan Год назад

The course is flexible so I was able to complete it within 7 months but on average most people complete it in 12 months

@Alchemistdesignsjay Год назад

Hi there! I have watching your journey through your channel and social media and I had a question about this course. Is it possible to take this course and go to school as well for another degree?

@SarahAdnan Год назад

Yes it definitely is!

@courtneyruelland7853 4 часа назад

I looked into this, but I thought in Canada to call yourself an Interior Designer (as opposed to a decorator) you needed to understand building codes, laws etc and pass extensive testing... which requires a four-year degree (CIDA only lists a Bachelor)... so how does this program allow you to call yourself an Interior Designer if it is just a certificate? Algonquin College has a Bachelor of Interior Design and a Certificate in Interior Decorating for example.

@karencornell5695 Год назад

hi! I've been looking at this course for awhile now but I am confused. Do you get a diploma with the regular course offered? when I look online it only says you get one with the course featuring master series.

@SarahAdnan Год назад

you get it with both which is accredited by DDA not ARIDO here in Canada

@melissaigberaese2470 2 года назад

Will this be a good school to attend if I am looking to open my own design studio? Do you need a degree prior to apply for it ? Will I be called a designer or decorator. Thank you so much for making these videos. You are a gift to us all!

@SarahAdnan Год назад

Yes, it allowed me to open my business however you will have to do further qualifications if you want to be legally called a certified interior designer - I have made a video on what the difference between a decorator and designer is! check it out, it will be helpful for you :)

@jaskiratsingh4060 2 года назад

your background is so daamm

@jonetepiphanyyy Год назад

Hi Sarah! I have a question, I have been interested in joining the program. Is this diploma recognized to take the RIDIQ exam?

@SarahAdnan Год назад

No it is not :) it’s accredited by DDA which is the decorator’s association of Canada

@mayconfraughton2245 Год назад

Thanks for the video! I've been looking into IDI so this has been very helpful. I have two questions: A) How long is the course? and B) The certificate is only valid in Canada? I am in the US so I am wondering if it's a course for Canada residents only. Thanks again!

@SarahAdnan Год назад

It's a flexible course so you choose how fast or slow you want to complete it but it must be finished within 2 years. It's an international course so I believe US has it's own version

@garimajain6201 Год назад

Hi Sarah, is one able to access all the 12 modules upon enrollment, or are the modules locked and only accessible sequentially after completing them one by one? Also, what is the cost of an advanced module such as AutoCAD or Sketchup? Are there any free design softwares that one can use instead? Thanks much 💕

@SarahAdnan Год назад

Yes they become available only once you finish the previous module one at a time.

@rachaeldrum9251 6 месяцев назад

@SarahAdnan did you take the Certificate not the Diploma?

@malikalyles7124 5 месяцев назад

Hey, this was very informative! Quick question, I can’t seem to find this answer anywhere. With IDI being accredited in only DDA-specifically for Canada, does that ultimately mean I won’t be recognized and/or qualified to work outside of Canada. I primarily work in Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia and was hoping to apply for an agency in one of those states. I assume it’ll just depend on the firm, but wanted to ask incase you have some insight on this. Thanks!

@SarahAdnan 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching - IDI is an internationally recognized course and I believe they collaborate with various associations from different countries for accreditations. I would recommend emailing their support team and they'll be able to confirm your questions regarding where you are located.

@khalil-b 2 месяца назад

Hi Sarah first of all thank you so much for the amazing content, you are soo inspirational ❤, can this course make me able to work in canada as an interior designer in my own busniss or in a disign firm ?

@SarahAdnan 2 месяца назад

Yes you can run your own business even without this course, you can practice design but if anything structural is related to project then you’ll have to contract project out to certified architectural designers

Truly helpful video! What if I already registered for this course . So, can I avail $200 off now?

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

you can inquire with their customer service if you are still able to redeem it!

@mayam9901 Год назад

Are you able to qualify for membership to Material Bank with a certification from IDI?

@SarahAdnan Год назад

I'm not sure about that, I would send them an email directly to confirm :)

@shaistatufail8399 5 месяцев назад

What is the prerequisite to this course?

@SarahAdnan 5 месяцев назад

There's none, anyone can take the course.

@dailysaturate 2 года назад

Hi, is the institute recognized by WES?

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

I don't believe so!

@tokafahim5168 2 года назад

Do you know if this course will allow me to work in an interior design firm after graduating it or not? And can I call myself an interior designer after graduating it as well or not?

@SarahAdnan 2 года назад

Most the large established firms here in Canada look for students to attend a 3-4 year undergrad university of college but some of the smaller firms will accept this schoolong

@beverlylauren5955 Год назад

Hi Sarah, thanks for sharing this video. But, I and many others had such a different experience with IDI. If you are talking about the institute in California, it is the worst one there is. Not updated, instructors don't teach you everything and you are on your own once you complete the program. As opposed to others who went to community colleges or other Interior Design school. Also, it was very expensive.

@SarahAdnan Год назад

Hmm that's interesting, it could be that the IDI course I took is not the same one as what you are referring to - it was fairly inexpensive and maybe the Canadian version is different from the one you have in California

@mayam9901 Год назад

hey! I was confused about this too, there are two different institutions. One is "Interior Designers Institute" in California. The other one is "The Interior Design Institute" which has an online program thats like a certification, not a bachelors degree. This is the one she is talking about in the video. Similar names but different things.
