"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 have 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 that two years, I am now pursuing my further education in architecture design in NUS (MA)"

"In 2008, I enrolled at Inspiration 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 allows students to interact with classmates and lecturers. At the same time, it also offers the opportunity for students to obtain feedback on the quality of their work with constructive advice on ways to improve."

"I joined the school in 2008 with a real desire to learn about interior design. Before coming to Singapore, I had been very interested in the subject and had carried out many trial projects on my own, family and friends houses.

Inspiration Design School International taught me how to focus my attention and how to develop the skills that I have been taught by some very professional lecturers. Our classes on computer aided design, in which we learnt programmes such as 3DS Max and Autocad were great fun and very informative. My lessons here have set me in great shape for the future. Thank you Inspiration for all the enriching experience I have had here."
