As an ambassador for Billy Blue College of Design, I’m thrilled to announce the launch of the Advanced Diploma of Interior Design and Decoration. This course reflects the exciting evolution of our industry and Billy Blue’s commitment to equipping the next generation of designers with the skills to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Interior design today is far more than aesthetics; it’s about creating spaces that are functional, sustainable, and deeply attuned to human experience. Industry standards have risen, and so too must our training. Billy Blue has met this challenge by developing a curriculum that bridges the gap between creativity and the practicalities of modern design practice.

As an industry professional of 30+ years, I’ve had the privilege of contributing insights to this course, ensuring it addresses what designers genuinely need to succeed. This industry-led approach is one of Billy Blue’s greatest strengths, bringing real-world expertise into the classroom and preparing graduates for an increasingly competitive field. The Advanced Diploma offers robust training, from mastering tools like AutoCAD and SketchUp Pro to creating detailed technical drawings and 3D models. You’ll also learn to design with sustainability in mind, craft innovative decorative schemes, and tackle projects that balance efficiency, comfort, and beauty. A capstone project and industry experience, including internships or live briefs, ensure you graduate ready to meet the demands of today’s clients.

This diploma doesn’t just teach design; it positions graduates to meet the changing landscape of being an interior designer, a critical milestone in building your knowledge. Billy Blue has created a program that is more than a qualification - it’s a launchpad for the designers who will shape tomorrow’s spaces. I AM proud to support this initiative and look forward to seeing how graduates of this course will transform our industry with their fresh ideas, technical expertise, and innovative visions.
