What courses and universities usually don't teach

A good concept is not enough. Once a real client appears, the designer has to handle the budget, contracts, contractors, deadlines and constant project changes all at once.

This is exactly the stage where newcomers most often struggle.

  • How to prepare a commercial proposal
  • How to put agreements with the client on record
  • What the contract must include
  • How to handle changes during the project
  • How to supervise contractors
  • How to manage procurement and furnishing
  • How to take a project from concept to completion

The programme covers exactly this part of the profession and prepares you for real projects.

What you will be able to do after the course

What participants say

«The course was genuinely useful, because this kind of formal knowledge — project structure, contracts — is rarely taught at university.»
Read in full

«The course was demanding (but not too much!), rich, with plenty of theory and practice. What I liked is that you, as a teacher, always kept our attention during the lectures: you explained and asked questions straight away, pushing us to analyse everything we were being given. Every lecture was very lively. The course was genuinely useful, because this kind of formal knowledge — project structure, contracts and so on — is rarely taught at university.»
