This comprehensive interior design certification course will gives students invaluable insights and foundational principles for building a successful design business. Students learn to cultivate client bases and develop the start of a compelling portfolio presentation that can be used to earn new business and captivate potential clients.

The Residential Interior Designer Education (R.I.D.E.) exam is the final exam in the course and is included with your enrollment. Achieving the R.I.D.E. certificate of completion credential, endorsed by the Designer Society of America (DSA), strengthens your professional image and highlights your excellence to future clientele. As a R.I.D.E. graduate, you will receive a complimentary one-year DSA membership. This membership not only provides you with the opportunity to connect with fellow interior designers but also nurtures your ongoing professional development within the field.

The Certified Residential Interior Designer credential should not be confused with the Certified Interior Designer status certified and regulated by the Maryland State Board of Certified Interior Designers. This program does not meet the education and experience requirements necessary for Maryland State Certification.
