British Academy of Interior Design Anmeldelser 

I'm learning so much and starting from scratch it's been really interesting. The core principles with technical and creative drawing are very useful. Looking forward to next steps with CAD and other practices.

Baid is great! All the lecturers respond to you quickly and are very helpful/ kind. One criticism I have is the content for the assignment briefs are quite long winded and could be shortened into easier explanations of what you need to do. At first glance reading assignment briefs can be quite overwhelming with lots of text.

My tutor Catarina is so lovely and helpful! The website is easy to navigate and I love the work and the help I receive.

The curriculum is well-structured, covering a wide range of topics...My tutor, Rita Marques, has been an invaluable support throughout my time in the BAID program. From the very beginning, she has demonstrated exceptional expertise and a genuine passion for interior design, which has greatly enriched my learning experience.
Overall, I am truly thankful for the support and encouragement I have received from the Student Services and the BAID staff. Their dedication to student success is inspiring, and I feel well-equipped to pursue my aspirations in interior design.

Catarina has been so quick to reply to my emails when I've had queries about the assignment and has been very helpful and thorough in her explanations.

It wasn't easy to start learning, but I gradually got into it. One of the main advantages is that the teachers and the academy team are always ready to help, answer questions and provide support. They are always in touch, which makes the learning process more comfortable and motivating.

Among my strengths, I can highlight the fact that I feel like I'm growing and developing. I learned a lot of new things, and although studying is still difficult for me, these difficulties help me get out of my comfort zone, which I consider an important part of personal growth.

At the same time, I sometimes lack specific information on topics. I often get lost in the abundance of materials on the Internet, and sometimes I just can't find what I need. It would be extremely useful to have access to examples of completed work to better understand the criteria for assignments. As a visual learner, I consider it important not only to read the text, but also to see practical examples.

Video lessons with teachers are very useful, but they are not enough - usually only one lesson is allocated for one assignment. Sometimes I get stuck because I don't understand which direction to move in. I think having more visual examples on the academy website or recorded lectures that I could watch would have made the learning process much easier.

Overall, despite the difficulties, I can see my progress and growth, and this motivates me to continue. However, learning online is incredibly difficult, especially when you have to combine learning with independent research.

I have been a student at the British Academy of Interior Design for about 13 months now.

This is a great course to do If you have an interest in interior design or are interested in a career in it. I chose to do lessons in person which were extremely valuable. My in person teacher Samuele Viola was amazing, very knowledgeable & passionate and was a big part of the course for me.

The student services are very helpful and respond quickly to you, I will say that it is a very in-depth course and will take up a lot of your time! I have been doing it whilst working full time which is manageable, however initially I thought I would be able to finish it in about 13 months, now I realise it will take me roughly two years (just be aware its not a short/quick course).

My assignment tutor Rita has been extremely supportive, she gives great feedback and thorough comments, always replying to my emails & questions promptly.

The assignments give a good mix of the history of design, practical & creative assignments, it's an accessible and user friendly platform. I will say when it comes to Sketch-up I had a couple in person lessons on it but there isn't much from the academy to teach you (YouTube was very helpful in my case).

I will say if you can afford to do the course with in-person classes its is very valuable and inspiring, the course is definitely self guided so if you want to try something new or be serious about interior design its a great place to start.

Thank you to Rita and the tutors at Baid which have made my experience great so far!

BAID is a wonderful company with helpful, responsive, and understanding staff. If you want to complete an interior design degree online, BAID is a great option.

Of course, I can't speak for other tutors in the company, but my tutor, Rita, is extremely helpful. I am working hard to get my degree completed by August 2025 so that I can start my final year at university. I am past halfway through my degree, but after corresponding with Rita about my concerns about not completing my degree in time, she has assured me we will work together to reach my goals and deadlines. Aside from this, she has been helping me throughout the past year or so with marking my assignments and providing valuable feedback, enabling me to resubmit my work with no hassle. Whenever I message her regarding my assignments or with any questions, she will typically respond within a day or two unless she is away, in which case somebody else will take her place as my tutor (temporarily).

The student services team is quick to respond to any issues or concerns and includes lots of information in their replies. If you need support immediately, you can call the number they provide you with.

It's important to mention that completing a degree, although it's part-time and online, will take a lot of effort. I am completing the HND (Higher National Diploma), in which I am studying 'full-time' (by choice) to ensure I reach my study goals. I would encourage you to properly determine whether you have the time to complete the degree beforehand. Although they give you plenty of time (up to 4 years, depending on which one you choose) to complete your degree, I have heard of other students who drop out within the first few months as they didn't expect to be doing as much work as the assignments require. If you're willing and able to work hard and have the time, I would recommend studying with BAID.

Overall, my experience with BAID has been insightful, and I look forward to completing my degree with the company. They encourage you to produce the best work possible and help you along the way. They open you up to their connections and introduce you to many opportunities after you complete your degree.

I think the academy's portal and structure works well. The assignments are also in depth and allow different skills to be practiced. I feel there is a lack of assistance when completing online tasks. I still struggle with sketchup and autocad and have found that the academy has not assisted myself here. I know that many of my classmates had the same struggles, and many have had to seek external classes and help. This should be something that the academy provides as an all round service.

I have positive experience with the school. I like that the tutor and the student support are available anytime and respond to requests quickly and in a supportive way.

I like the positive feedback from the tutor even if the assignment was unsuccessful.

An extensive course, with valuable insight into the world of interior design, ranging from the basics to 3d rendering and project management. The tutors are helpful and always on hand, helping guide you through the course.

However, as I'm currently doing the HND, it can become quite costly. Despite getting an educational discount, you still need to source 2D and 3D software which range in price and need to be renewed yearly. I also had to purchase a new computer in order to keep up with rendering demands and higher graphics.

My experience so far at the British Academy of Interior Design has been enlightening, inspiring and enjoyable! Although the assignments can be challenging, I feel as though each one expands my knowledge and skills of the industry and develops my excitement to get started in a professional role once I have completed the course. I study online, from home, but I find it easy to communicate with my tutors, Joana Moriera and Catarina Viseu, who always offer the utmost guidance and assistance when I need it. I find the course materials and lessons available on the website massively helpful and aid me to achieve the best possible grades. I'm looking forward to continuing my studies and expanding my skillset!

Catarina has been very helpful and very quick in responding to my questions regarding the course and assignments. He also gives great pieces on advice on accomplishing tasks.

I am thrilled to announce that I have successfully completed my Higher National Diploma with BAID. This three-year journey has been incredibly rewarding, thanks to the unwavering support of my tutors, Filipa and Rita. Their guidance, encouragement, and dedication ensured that I had everything I needed to achieve my best throughout the course.

Additionally, I made use of the Student Support Service, where Andrea was instrumental in helping me transition seamlessly between courses. She provided me with clear, detailed information that allowed me to make well-informed decisions during a particularly challenging time.

I am deeply grateful to everyone at BAID who contributed to my success and made this experience so positive and enriching.

I have just started my course and I am loving every minute, so much information and guidance available. Feedback has come quickly and the tutors have been great at answering any questions!

The course is well put together, but much harder than I initially thought it'll be. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, probably good as it's more challenging. Tutors are absolutely wonderful, and always helpful.

The course overall is amazing. A lot of theories and practical knowledge. The support from tutors is amazing

Amazing, the tutors are very nice and they explain to us a lot of things.
