Program overview
The College Diploma - Interior Decorating (ITD1) (Co-op) is a 2 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Interior decorating taught as a business: colour, materials, styling and client consultation combined with co-op placement in the decorating, staging and design-retail economy. The housing market's style layer — staging, renovation showrooms, furniture retail — hires exactly this practical, portfolio-carrying profile.
The college around this program has run since 1967 and now teaches students from some 140 countries, with a live PGWP-aligned program list and a February 1 equal-consideration date that rewards early applicants.
The post-2024 rules test sub-degree fields, and this program’s is CIP 50.0410 (Interior decorating); confirm current alignment on the college’s official list before building plans on it.
