How Our Courses Work

Your first course materials will be sent to you when you enrol so you can start as soon as you want. You can then enjoy your course at your own pace, studying when it suits you and where it’s most comfortable. This gives you the freedom to learn around your existing job, family or other commitments or location (including overseas).

Experts have developed course materials that are clear and straightforward, so your studying is easy and enjoyable.

All coursework assignments are included within your course. As you complete each assignment, simply send it to your tutor, who will mark and return it along with valuable, constructive feedback to help progress your skills further. (You can also contact your tutor or the support team for help at any point during your studies.) The remaining course materials will be sent to you as each assignment is completed.

Where required, you will demonstrate your learning by submitting recorded practical sessions (for example, a video of your session recorded on a mobile phone or tablet) to show your competence in interviewing clients and delivering ceremonies and services in a professional, appropriate manner.

After successfully completing all your assignments, you will receive the Regent Academy Diploma and you will also be awarded our City & Guilds Advanced Interior Design Certificate* when you successfully complete this course.
