Program details
Overview
Techniques de design d'intérieur (570.E0) is a three-year technical DEC at Cégep de Trois-Rivières that trains students to design aesthetic and functional interior layouts for individuals and businesses. Students learn to analyze client needs, produce technical drawings and plans, and coordinate a project through to completion, including budgeting, quotes, and contracts. Coursework covers design principles, construction basics, materials, lighting, and colour theory, together with sketching and computer-aided design using AutoCAD, SketchUp, SU Podium, and Revit. The program includes a lighting lab and a materials library, a supervised work placement in the final term, a capstone project completed for a real client, and a work-study option offering two paid summer internships. The program is recognized by the Association professionnelle des designers d'intérieur du Québec, and graduates may continue into university studies through recognized transfer pathways. It suits students interested in the technical and creative sides of interior design who want direct exposure to industry software and client-based project work.
