The duration of continuing education, further training to become a housing consultant varies greatly and depends on the provider and the course offered. It can range from a few days to up to a year.

The training program for interior design consultants is not an apprenticeship with a federal qualification, but a course with an internal school certificate. If you are looking for an apprenticeship in this field, please contact this school via our contact form and ask for information on the apprenticeships of decorative seamstress with Federal VET Diploma, home textile designer with Federal VET Certificate or interior decorator with Federal VET Certificate (formerly interior decorator), all of which offer a federally recognized qualification and provide a good basis for further training courses in this field.

The training to become a home consultant is aimed at interested persons who have completed vocational education and training (VET) and have professional experience in sales, home consulting or interior decoration and wish to acquire comprehensive skills in home consulting. Please contact the providers directly for current admission requirements.

Interior design, sketching, perspective and drawing are just as much a part of the content of a home design consultant course as color theory and material science for textiles, wood, leather, etc. Stylistics, product knowledge and taking measurements are also part of the course, as is sales training.
