Teleclasses and Home Study Courses

Our Teleclasses and Home Study Courses

Time and distance can sometimes make hands-on and face-to-face training difficult.  To help you pursue your goal of a business in interior decorating, interior redesign, or real estate staging, the School of Interior Redesign has developed teleclasses and home study courses, to be taken in the comfort of your own home. 

The information covered in these classes is the same information as that of our classroom workshops - only the format is different! 

Teleclasses:  scheduled times similar to a class

If you are considering a teleclass, here are a few things you need to know:

• Teleclasses are scheduled sessions held over the telephone at specific times each week for 1-1/4 hours.  The number of weeks involved depends on the class you choose.  See below for more information.
• There is an instructor conducting each class session.  The students interact with the instructor just as if they are in a real classroom.
• If you are unable to attend a session, you are expected to listen to the recorded session and complete the homework assignment.
• You receive a manual prior to the start of class.  You are given sections of the manual to read prior to each session.  There may be other homework assignments given as well.
• You need access to a computer with internet connection during class sessions as you may be directed to a website to review materials, or to post your own.  You also need a digital camera as you will be asked to take before and after photos of your projects to download to the computer.
• After completion of the class and the final exam, you will receive your Certificate!

That's it!  It's almost like being in class.

Home Study:  in your own time at your own pace

If scheduling is a bit of a problem for you, a home study course may work better.  These are courses done during your own time and at your own pace.  Here's how a home study course works:

• Once you sign up for the course, you will receive the first module.  The number of modules to be completed depends on the course.  See below for more information.
• Once you have completed the module and the corresponding assignments, the assignments are sent to the instructor for review.  It may be helpful to have a digital camera to download before and after pictures of your projects so you can send them via email.
• The instructor reviews the assignment, provides feedback, and sends the next module.
• The instructor is available through telephone or email to answer questions, address issues, and provide whatever assistance is needed for you to complete the module.
• After all modules and the final exam are completed, you will receive your Certificate!

Perfect for the person with difficult hours and limited time!
