Student Review:
•  "Inspiration Design International School is a school that will help you to exercise your freedom of designing. This helped me a lot in being more productive and understanding the flexibility of designing.

I took up the Interior Space Planning & Perspective Drawing short courses, and that made me more confident in pursuing Interior Design. I am an architecture student in Philippines, and now I can say that I can be a good designer after what INSPIRATION has taught me during my course of study."
