Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to review information about the design brief and proposed solution, and then use the features of computer-aided design (CAD) applications to produce models and extract two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) drawings and documentation in accordance with all standard practice notations and drawing protocols.
This unit applies to interior designers, including kitchen and bathroom designers.
No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.

Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of this course, you will have developed and applied the skills and knowledge required to demonstrate your competency in the above elements.
Details of Learning Activities
Flexible study allows you to study online by participating in lectures and tutorials via Canvas,
our online learning and teaching platform, to ensure continued learning throughout this period.
For Semester 2 all of your classes and assessments have been rearranged to suit this learning format.
Canvas has been designed so that the learning experience is consistent throughout all your courses.
We have taken your feedback and adjusted the way we do things for Semester 2.
The course is taught through VIRTUAL ectures and tutorials, which enable a range of learning
experiences. The lectures will introduce you to key ideas, practices and contexts that have shaped contemporary interior decoration and
design thinking and practice.
In conjunction with the weekly tutorial program will introduce specific briefs and
provide an opportunity for more detailed discussion related to the core studies of the course.
Learning activities will take place Canvas using industry standard tools and resources. You will also be required to undertake independent study.
In class activities will include:
• class exercises to review discussions/lectures
• design activities or projects
• online activities
• peer learning
• independent project based work
Teaching Schedule
It is expected that all students will have access to their own laptop and internet
to complete the requirements of this course.
