The Certificate in Interior Design Drafting, Modeling, and Visualization is a skills-based program designed to equip learners with essential tools for communicating interior design ideas clearly.
Students develop core technical skills in manual drafting, digital drafting, 3D modeling, and rendering, progressing from hand-drawn drawings and visual thinking to computer-aided drafting and realistic interior visualizations. The program focuses on accuracy, scale, clarity, and spatial understanding, emphasizing how interior concepts are translated into professional visual outputs.
By the end of the course, students will produce a coherent set of drawings and visual materials that communicate interior spaces, materials, lighting, and atmosphere, culminating in a capstone interior visualization project.
Duration: 1 semester or approximately 4 to 5 months.
