Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Very disappointed with my experience with NYIAD Landscape Design. Keep in mind that if you pay in full, you will not receive the full coursework until you complete specific units. I stopped at Unit 2... See more

The training is good but there are no templates for practical use. For example, for event planners, NYIAD should provide a sample schedule with real tasks so that students have the tools to begin work... See more

I was so excited to start learning AutoCAD but was quickly let down. There is basically no one teaching you except for the book (the only instructor videos are in the first section- they were actually... See more

NYIAD - a great place to study

NYIAD proved to be great choice for my decision to become as wedding planner. The material is extensive, and the feedback from instructors useful and easy to follow. I love the course and consider doing the event planning course as well to expand my future opportunities.

Interior design

Good program, just wish there was a way where all videos were accessible through one page or one tab that I can select based on topic. Kind of difficult having to shuffle through pages to try to find something to re-watch.

I find myself struggling in my interior design class because of this, when I need to redo a project but being told to re-watch video, takes me forever to find again.

Good course content

Good course content. Communication is not great and long wait times on project grading. Its hard to call and get answers from anyone. Also i was told I could call back after signing up to get the discounted rate for ncidq exam, when i called back I was told no.

Would be great if CAD lessons can be…

Would be great if CAD lessons can be integrated into this course instead of separately, since CAD is already a standard in the ID industry.

Also, best to have all projects uploaded or use an online tool, since sending by post is prone to losses, and can be expensive on the part of international students.

Lastly, I wasn't very happy with the quality of audio feedback given by my previous instructor, Anne Harris. I had to play the feedback several times to understand what she was saying, possibly due to slurred speech or poor recording. The audio recording of Janet's feedback was much much better.

I learned a lot online

I learned a lot online , in my own time day, night any where in any device. The personal designer class build my confidence on design and enrich my knowledge. I'm satisfied and warmly recommend New york institute of art and design. And i star another class.

The Institute has been good to me!

The Institute has been good to me. It’s just that when I signed up for my course, I didn’t see what was coming. I had to help my niece with her 8 month old baby, who I’ve been babysitting her for about 2 years now. I haven’t had a chance to really get into my studies. Plus, I’m taking care of my mom who is a diabetic and has heart problems. The Institute gave me a extension once, but I’m in a financial bind, so I could afford to get another, had to let it go. But NYIAD is a very go school for online classes. I would recommend it.

Satisfied designer

I am a practicing unlicensed interior designer (technically decorator) and wanted to up my credentials and knowledge. I'm at a point in my career where going back to school would be a waste of time and money. I did learn some good practices with the interior design program, but found the methods to be a little archaic, waiting for the mailed materials and the audio feedback. In the end, I would say I got what I paid for, and am satisfied.

Feng Shui

Feng Shui - Even this is a basic course, Feng Shui is an ocean to learn. NYIAD's course discusses about so many methods but with very little explanation. Though I am a home designer and studied other Science of Architecture, I had to web search & read books for explanations throughout the course. Faculties and Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The rating is only for NYIAD. An educational institute's quality relies both faculties/staff and the course itself. For the course I would rate 3 stars. This is purely my personal opinion.

I'm enjoying my Home Staging class

I'm enjoying my Home Staging class! The fact that it's on line makes it possible for me. I really like how I can call when I need help or have a question. The student resource center is awesome and I don't have to wait long to get through. I appreciate their patience with me, I'm a little rusty with getting back to school work plus I'm not that tech savvy. :)
