Pre-requisites and Co-requisites
This course is delivered and assessed in conjunction with BSBDES502 Establish, negotiate and refine a design brief.
Course Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to analyse the project brief, research options, and develop decoration proposals for high-end residential or commercial interior spaces, that include multiple usage areas and require multiple interrelated decoration themes.
This unit applies to interior decorators. They analyse and compare information from a wide range of different sources to develop and plan integrated decoration solutions.
Licensing, legislative or certification requirements may apply to this unit and relevant state/territory and local government agencies should be consulted to determine any necessary certification or licensing for undertaking interior decoration and design work. Access to construction sites requires certification of general induction training specified by the National Code of Practice for Induction for Construction Work (ASCC 2007).
