Very professional and helpful tutors, interesting lessons, more to come :)

Studying in BAID has been a great learning experience so far. All the tutors are really helpful, specially when it comes to understanding assignments, they are always there for me. I am really enjoying the interactive course curriculum within classes and assignments. Just one suggestion, if there was a system in the student portal to count how many hours of studies are done every week including study progress (not just assignment results), that'll be a great help for us because it'll help us to track our pace by weekly and gives confidence to move forward. So keeping 1 star for this improvement.
Cheers!

It’s nice to have a flexible work week with my course work. Though you need self discipline to get your work and studies done. Tutors reply to my questions within reasonable time and help me understand what I’m learning.

I want to give a huge thank you to BAID Team. you are always there I needed help. You are so dedicated to your work and to support us. We always trust you!

I received a quick response to my request and the document I needed was sent immediately.

I enrolled onto the Higher National Certificate in Interior Design at BAID last July. I’ve so far completed 4 assignments and already feel like I have learnt so much. I’m enjoying learning new skills like presenting design ideas to clients and how to create technical drawings and concept boards.

I chose to enrol onto the online course which means that there are no hard deadlines for the assignment submissions and I have up to 3 years to complete the course. This provides me with some flexibility in which to manage the course workload alongside my job. Information about the course including details of each assignment is accessible at any time via the online learning portal which is really helpful and convenient. The portal is also home to a lot of useful resources like educational videos, reading materials and a student forum.

Some of the assignments have been rather lengthy and, at times, confusing which can feel a little isolating when studying online from home. I would appreciate more opportunities in which to interact and share learnings with other students taking the same course as I feel like this would be really beneficial to my studies and overall experience. However, I am eligible to one tutor session per unit and my tutor, Rita Marques, has been very supportive, sharing detailed and thoughtful responses to any questions that I’ve had so far.

Started my course 2023 and it has been going well. It wasn’t easy in the beginning.. getting around with drawing packages mostly coz I ain’t good at drawing but it is getting better with time. My tutor (Rita) has been helpful and supportive. Hoping to continue learning and getting more knowledgeable about interior design because it’s my passion.

The last star will be for when I graduate.

I enrolled on this course last October, I have passed two assignments so far. I work full-time which is why it’s taking me some time, but my Tutor Rita Marques has been very supportive and gives great feedback to enable me to complete assignments successfully. I enjoy creating the assignments, and the research is very interesting. The course layout has been updated, this feels more organised. You can also submit your work for feedback before final submission - which is great. Some assignments are quite challenging and it would be helpful if they provided more information for complex skills, for example to-scale-drawing. They do have some videos which I find extremely helpful.

As a student enrolled in the BAID program, I have found the journey through my interior design course so far to be enjoyable. The assignments provided have not only challenged me but have also allowed me to explore and develop my creative abilities.

While maintaining motivation can sometimes be a challenge, the support and guidance offered by the tutors have been invaluable. Their willingness to assist with any questions or concerns has greatly contributed to my progress and overall learning experience.

Overall, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of education provided by the BAID program. It has equipped me with knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a career in interior design, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of it.

Thoroughly enjoying my course so far. I opted for the remote online study option (Higher National Certificate) which is largely self-directed. The learning portal is easy to follow and the course materials provide a wealth of comprehensive information.

To improve the course it would be beneficial to start each module with a video lecture introducing the subject first, rather than diving straight into the reading material. When I initially started studying I did find this to be lacking, however I since got used to the study format. This is my main reason for 4 rather than 5 starts.

My experience with the course tutors so far as been great. They have replied swiftly and have been very helpful in guiding me through my studies. All communication for the remote online courses is via email only, there are no options for video calls. Personally, I would have found calls helpful rather than communicating in writing, however this is primarily due to how I prefer to learn.

I have enrolled a few years ago, and I am stuck on one assignment in particular. Apart from the lack of time available to complete and personal reasons, the issue I have been facing since the get go are the assignment descriptions and the tutors. I keep going but the help is limited, no real support on what sources are needed for completing the tasks.
The assignments are not clea, very generic, it is hard to understand what is needed until you submit the assignment and fail it. Once you get your feedback then you strat to understand a bit more what it was required. Most of the time, I email the tutor for clarifications, and even though at times they are satisfactory, most of the times they are contradictory. Many times, I was advised on how to do something and then, when i submitted the assignment, the feedback advised i should have done the opposite. Other times I got told to change certain parts, submitted it again and failed it, again! as more negative feedback arose which was not mentioned the first time. If I could get a refund I definitely would!
Really struggling to see how I can complete this assignment (let alone the course!) as the feedback is just unhelpful and puts you down despite the months you spent on doing it.

I have enrolled in this course hoping for a career change.
Interior Design has been a passion of mine for a very long time.

Since starting this course, I feel that I have been learning so much. This is not like any other courses I have experienced before where it’s mainly focused on reading and reading some more.
So, even if the career change won’t materialise, I will regardless have learned something new and interesting.

Baid course gives us the opportunity to explore all our potential, as it pushes our skills to the max by applying them to things we have never done before.
This can be overwhelming and intense at times as the assignments can be long and the course notes very extensive and detailed, which in turn is also very good information to learn from and use in respective assignments.
My Tutor has always been very supportive and helpful on my assignments, even when I question my own confidence in the ability to finish assignments, the support and encouragement was always there.
Questions, doubts, or any information I required was always met with a very quick reply, and the same goes for everyone in the support team.

I believe this course provides you with a unique sense of learning due to the “hands on” approach as well as the structure of the assignments. Would highly recommend it!

The company is helpful and all the staff are friendly and beyond willing to help. The staff answer emails in a timeous manner. The content is also easy to work through. Thank you!

It is a good course for dedicated students but you must be willing to give it time and a lot of effort to even pass. No shortcuts . I am currently struggling to make time for the course as I have two under two but I hope for the best. Tutors respond to queries reasonably quickly however I wish there was more help and examples of assignments on hand.

I enrolled for an online 6 week interior design course in March 2024. From my very first communication everyone I dealt with was professional friendly and clear on guidance and support throughout. I started the course on 16 April and the tutor Sophia Kokkins was excellent. Unfortunately I struggled with the online tutoring being an older student.
I rang BAID and spoke with Aisling Barrett she was absolutely amazing. I was prepared to give up but she persuaded me to have time to think and if I still felt the same it was no problem. She also discussed alternatives to the online course. She was so professional and friendly I felt so reassured she is a credit to the organisation. I have decided not to continue with the online and may pursue the classroom based teaching which after talking to Aisling seems may be the best option for me.
I highly recommend if you are choosing to study interior design this organisation should be your choice.

The online learning materials are very helpful and some classes are useful but not all

The stuff very friendly, very supportive. Support in everything, always in contact.

It is a truly enjoyable course which helps future designers develop their skills professionally. Catarina is a very helpful tutor :)
The only thing that I would love to have changed is the lead time to receive assignment results but other than that i'm pleased with the course :)

Although the course is tough, being a home-based student with a full-time job, the course is well structured and the materials are well produced. Tutors give great in-depth feedback to help you move forward with each assignment and I'm really enjoying the course. BIG shout out to Andrea Martins and Joao in the Student Services team who are incredible. Thank you for your kindness and support in helping me reach my goals.
