Interior Design Software Course Online
This VDCI course concentrates on the software side of interior design. Students move from introductory and intermediate Revit into modeling for interiors, then use Twinmotion to develop interior and exterior visualizations. The curriculum emphasizes communicating spaces through coordinated models, renderings and presentations rather than covering the full range of interior design theory.
What's included
- Access to Revit & Twinmotion for 5 months
- 150 hours of project-based instruction
- 415 training videos
- Instruction from an Autodesk Certified Instructor
- Verified digital certificate of completion
- Instruction at an ACCET-accredited school
- 15 CEUs
Overview
A 150-hour bundle focused on the software side of interior design rather than design theory. It runs from introductory and intermediate Revit through Revit for interior design, then into rendering and animation with Twinmotion.
The bundle covers both interior and exterior rendering, so students can present a space and its building together. Tuition includes five months of Revit and Twinmotion access.
Who this course is for
Architects, interior designers, and design staff who want stronger visualization and rendering skills, and beginners who want Revit and Twinmotion proficiency specifically.
