The Nanette Cameron School of Interior Design

The Nanette Cameron School of Interior Design is well recognised throughout the New Zealand design industry. In its forty-plus year history the school has instilled an understanding and appreciation of design in thousands of students. In 2004 Nanette Cameron was awarded a Queen's Service Medal for her contribution to the community, partially through her Interior Design School.

The course philosophy for the Nanette Cameron School of Interior Design is to broaden the cultural background of students and provide knowledge and confidence to create a beautiful, personal and satisfying home environment. Interior Design courses are enriched with visits to private homes and buildings of particular interest.

Duration

The course is part-time and consists of two year-long stages and an optional third year. All stages are one year in duration and students begin classes in February. Stage Two may also be undertaken as term modules, enabling students to join a class throughout the year. Please note that year-long students get preferential enrolment over module-only students. In order to secure a place in a class you must enroll for the full year. We limit the number of students to ensure the quality of classes so it is essential to book in advance.

Contact hours are two and a half hours per week. Daytime or evening classes are available. Classes are run in accordance with the four year school term, each being 9 weeks in length.
