Key Summary
Interior Design Part 2 Skills Competency Award
Interior Design focuses on the creation of interior environments that are both functional and pleasing. The field offers a variety of employment opportunities in kitchen and bath design studios and in interior materials and furniture stores.
The SBCC Interior Design Program, offered within the Drafting/CAD Department, provides comprehensive training for entry-level interior design positions. Certificated, professionally experienced instructors teach all program courses. Successful completion of each Interior Design (ID) course earns full college credit.
