Student Stories

Abbey
ISCD Graduate

“ISCD offered genuine human contact, someone took the time to answer all my questions and made me feel truly supported. It’s clear they want you to succeed once you walk out the door and into your design career.”

Lauren
ISCD Graduate

“I move around quite a lot, so I wanted something that was flexible. The online learning platform is excellent, and there are also tutorials and support chats if you need them.”

Anna
ISCD Graduate

“This time next year, you’ll wish you started today. The timing is never going to be right. Do the thing. Take the leap. Follow your passion and you won’t regret it.”

Dilmini
ISCD Graduate

“No two days are the same. I think because my job is very dynamic, it’s quite invigorating – I don’t do the same things five days in a row.”

Katina
ISCD Graduate

“Online learning was the only way I was going to be able to pull off further education. My life is complex, I’ve got a kid, a business to run and I do volunteer work. The flexibility has been perfect, not just with the course itself but with the teachers’ understanding of my personal life and my timeline.”

Lisa
ISCD Graduate

“I enjoyed connecting with the teachers because they were all working in the industry as well. I was able to learn a lot from them because of their real life scenarios as opposed to just textbook information.”

Gina
Diploma of Interior Design Student

“I researched all of the interior design courses available in Australia before deciding on this Diploma of Interior Design. It was the school that ticked all the boxes best and I’m so glad I did.”

Amanda
ISCD Graduate

“Online learning, to me, there was a stereotype that you would start learning and you’d have no help. ISCD was the complete opposite of that. We were always being engaged with. The staff were so knowledgeable and so approachable that we never felt like we were on our own.”

“I’m so so glad I decided to do the course, and feel more ready than ever to dive into this new world. It’s a relief I’ve come to the end and love it more than ever!!

So thank you again – I’d not hesitate to recommend ISCD to anyone thinking about a career change, having the flexibility to do it over the 2 years part time has been a game changer.”
