"In 2000, I was in the midst of making a pivotal career switch from banking to the design industry, but found the process very challenging. I thus enrolled myself at Inspiration, and was impressed that the teachers were professional practicing designers. The lessons I learnt here have greatly inspired me, and taught me the ropes to make a successful career switch in my mid life.

A number of my classmates are now senior designers or bosses in prominent design firms. I am currently the Director of Cosa International Pte Ltd, a company specializing in design and fabrication of special ceiling and lighting products."

"In 2008, I enrolled at Inspiration Design International School for what would prove to be an enriching learning experience. I have discovered my own passion and dedication for interior design and have gained the knowledge and skills from Inspiration to succeed in this very competitive industry.

I felt motivated to attend class to expand my horizons and stretch myself in every aspect of the course from concept development to 3D visualization. Inspiration provides a participative learning environment which offers the opportunity for students to obtain feedback on the quality of their work with constructive advice on ways to improve."

"At Inspiration, students are given the chance to work closely with architects and clients to determine the structure of a space, the needs of occupants, and the style that best suits both. It is a combination of being an artist and engineer, and to handle both of those concepts well. An interior designer must know materials, have budgeting skills, communicate well, and oversee the ordering, installation, and maintenance of all objects that define a space. It is hard work, but those who do it well find the work very satisfying. Inspiration helped me realise my dreams. Thank you for everything; I will never forget the experiences I had at Inspiration."

"After graduating from Inspiration with a Diploma in Interior Design in 1998, I worked as a senior designer in a local design company, and am now a project director in charge of commercial projects at S.T. Design & Contract Pte Ltd. The projects that I spearheaded include design work for Fave Nails Pte Ltd, Castor Wheel Singapore Pte Ltd, GAC (Singapore) Pte Ltd, V-KOOL (S) Pte Ltd, Opulent Autocare International Pte Ltd, Boon Lay Stationery Pte Ltd and a Singapore Pools 4D outlet. I found my learning experience here very relevant to my current course of work, and would certainly recommend all my friends and colleagues to take up design-related programmes at Inspiration Design International School."

"I joined Inspiration in 2005, and have attained my Advanced Diploma and Degree in Interior Design since. The intensive and creative design training through design studio and experiments enabled me to sharpen my understanding and perception of design. I have received not only design skill training but also a much higher level of understanding of culture and environment, both of which are very useful in my working life now.

Since graduating from Inspiration, I have worked in a Singapore President Design Award-winning design consultancy firm as a designer for more than two years. I am now pursuing my further education in architecture design in NUS(MA)."

"Inspiration Design International School taught me a lot of things – the design idea, detailing, types and kinds of material and design concept development. It was also a place where I met different kinds of people from different countries. Inspiration Design International School taught me how to explore my creative design ideas, and improved my design knowledge, giving me a creative edge over other designers in the industry. In my half-year internship at ADDP Architects, I learnt not only about interior design, but also about the importance of team work and how to cooperate and work with other designers. I am now a senior designer at ADDP Architects. Thank you Inspiration!"

"Inspiration Design International School was an eye opener to me. It gave me the knowledge I have today, and also the opportunity to meet different people who have helped me develop my skills and inspired me to pursue my dream. It gave me the freedom to explore and creatively express my ideas. I was able to discover what makes me uniquely different from others, and so giving me the boost to be more confident.

My internship experience allowed me to not only learn more about interior design, but also showed me the importance of being confident in my designs. I learnt that being a good designer isn’t just about having creativity and good design sense, but also having good attitude and character. Thank you Inspiration!"

I was looking for a course for my daughter and found out about Inspiration via internet and we got response right away. We went to college for interview and received a very friendly and helpful reception, we are looking forward for my daughter to start her course there.

I am an Assistant Manager, Youth Development & Events Management at the People's Association. I am a graduate (Bachelor of Business) from Queensland University of Technology. I enrolled for the Diploma in Interior Design at Inspiration to gain invaluable knowledge on interior design. The knowledge taught is very relevant to real life, as the course is very industry-orientated. I am glad I joined Inspiration. It has been a great and wonderful experience.

My decision to enroll in Inspiration Design International School after attending NAFA was because of the flexibility and part-time nature of the course that Inspiration offers. The school is also professionally managed. The lecturers are patient and are willing to share all their knowledge for the benefit of the students. Some of the lessons are personalized to the needs of the students through one to one teaching. Lecturers also provide additional perspectives on the industry to make the lessons relevant to the students' learning.

My Son, Ma ZhiBo after servicing his national service join Inspiration Design International School in year 2010.

Inspiration has a good history as well as good reputation among other design schools. They have strong background, in terms of professional academic board and lecturers that is why I chose Inspiration. I have been studying for 3 months and I have excelled a lot in interior design.

Before I joined Inspiration, I was from a local polytechnic. However, I could not see where I would go and ultimately my career progression. I had an interest in architecture and buildings then. I have friends going to other design schools. But I felt that it is not specialised and designed to industry and real world market. I found Inspiration to be experienced and they have been producing excellent students. The opportunities are aplenty and the lecturers and staff are friendly and approachable
