Our Interior Decorating Certificate is one of the most comprehensive in Toronto and takes advantage of the location of our Casa Loma Campus – walking distance from Canada's leading interior design wholesale showrooms ("Designers Walk"). The curriculum includes field trips to these exclusive showrooms as well as to museums and art galleries. Once you have completed the required compulsory and elective subjects, you will have a thorough knowledge of the decorating field and the technical skills needed to work as a professional interior decorator. This decorating certificate is recognized by the Decorators & Designers Association of Canada (DDA Canada) (formerly the Canadian Decorators' Association (CDECA)).
Career Opportunities
Employers can typically be found in the interior decorating, retail (furniture, drapery, lighting, paint, wallpaper) and home building industries as well as related sectors.
