FAQ

Does the course fee cover all the costs?

Yes. The course fee covers everything you need, including your texts, reference books, art supplies, DVDs, and the instruction, feedback, and advice of your personal tutor.

What payment plans does the School offer?

The School offers three convenient payment options. You can pay in full and receive a discount, or choose one of our monthly installment plans. The Accelerated Plan gives you the option of paying your fees over four months and allows you to receive all your course materials when you register. The Regular Plan allows you to spread your payments over a longer period of time and your materials are shipped as portions of your course fees are paid.

How long is the course?

As a rough guide, assuming that you'll work on the course for a couple of hours per week, you'll be able to complete your studies in approximately three months. However, if you need extra time, you have up to three full years to complete your course. If you enroll using either the full payment option or the accelerated monthly payment option, all your course materials are sent to you right away. This allows you to work through the program as quickly as you'd like.

Do I have to pay an annual fee or join an organization?

No. Unlike other programs, you have the right to use your professional designation, free of charge, for life. Our programs are also recognized by several prominent professional associations. You have the option to join these associations as a student or graduate of the School.

Will I be eligible to join a professional association and/or organization upon graduation?

Yes. Each association typically has its own application process, so it is recommended that you visit the association of interest's website to find out more information on how to join as well as fees. An association offers opportunity to network and further develop your professional skills. We have compiled a short list of associations that may be of interest to you.

What if I want to take more than one course?

Once you graduate, if you want to expand your professional certification, you are eligible to enroll for one of our other courses at a much reduced price. We offer “core” versions of our interior decorating and home staging programs that focus on the additional information you need to add another design service to your skill set.

What if I decide the course is not right for me?

Once you receive your first shipment, you have 21 days to decide if you want to continue. If you are not satisfied, simply return the shipment and you'll receive a full refund. No questions asked.

Is the school a member of the Better Business Bureau?

Yes. As a member of the BBB's stringent Online Reliability Program, Quality of Course is authorized to display the BBB seal. In business since 1984, we have a superb track record.
