What do you learn in the Interior Design course?

AutoCAD Technical Drawing Skills
You draft floor plans, elevations, and sections; manage layers, dimensions, and blocks; and produce print-ready layout sheets with title blocks.
Space Planning
You map existing spaces and services, create bubble diagrams and blocking plans, plan furniture placement with correct traffic flow, and apply barrier-free design standards.
3D modelling in 3ds Max
You model furniture, décor, and complete interior scenes, and compose views photographically for portfolio-ready output.
Design Anthropometry
You apply ergonomic principles, required clearances, and proportional scaling so your layouts work for real people in real rooms.
VRAY Rendering Engine
You build realistic material shaders, master daylight and artificial lighting setups, and render interior day and night views with global illumination.
Photoshop post-processing
You retouch renders, edit material textures, and assemble final client presentations. Beginners can start with Canva; SketchUp is available as an optional tool.

About Our Interior Design Training in Dubai

Edoxi Training Institute offers an instructor-led Interior Design course in Dubai, available as classroom training or live online. The 80-hour interior design training programme teaches design fundamentals first, including space planning, colour theory, materials, and lighting design, before moving into the professional software workflow of AutoCAD 2D, 3ds Max, V-Ray rendering, and Photoshop post-processing. It suits fresh graduates, career switchers, architecture and civil engineering professionals, and creative individuals from non-design backgrounds. The curriculum reflects the design workflows and luxury-focused aesthetics of the UAE market.

The course has five core modules: AutoCAD 2D, Space Planning, 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Photoshop. You begin with technical drafting in AutoCAD, move to design theory and furniture layout in space planning, then model complete interiors in 3ds Max, render photorealistic views in V-Ray, and finish with client-ready presentations in Photoshop. Beginners can start with Canva or SketchUp before progressing to the professional tools.

By the end of this Interior Design course, you complete three projects: a technical drafting project, a residential design project, and a commercial design project. Each produces space plans, layouts, and technical drawings with elevations, building a job-ready portfolio that reflects UAE industry standards. Edoxi also offers a customised corporate Interior Design programme with a module-based curriculum and flexible scheduling.

As a KHDA-permitted training institute in Dubai, Edoxi awards graduates a KHDA-approved course completion certificate. The course prepares you for entry-level roles such as Junior Interior Designer, Design Assistant, CAD Technician, and 3D Visualiser across Dubai's real estate, hospitality, and fit-out sectors.

FAQ

What is the duration of the Interior Design course in Dubai?
The Interior Design course in Dubai at Edoxi Training Institute takes 80 hours. Classroom and live online batches are available, with three or more new batches starting every month. Corporate teams can take the same curriculum as a customised 10-day programme. Recorded sessions are included, so you can revise any class at your own pace.
Can I join the Interior Design course without any design background?
Yes. The Interior Design course in Dubai at Edoxi teaches every design concept from the basics, so no prior interior design experience is needed. You need basic computer knowledge and a 12th-grade qualification or above. Good visualisation ability and basic mathematics skills help you grasp concepts faster, but the step-by-step approach from sketching through to final presentations is built for complete beginners.
What software do you learn in the Interior Design course in Dubai?
The Interior Design course covers four professional tools as one integrated workflow: AutoCAD 2D for technical drawings, 3ds Max for modelling, V-Ray for rendering, and Photoshop for final presentations. Optional beginner-friendly tools include Canva and SketchUp. You apply every tool to real project work rather than learning features in isolation.
What are the fees for the Interior Design course in Dubai?
Interior design course fees in Dubai typically range from AED 4,000 to 7,000, depending on the institute, course duration, and software covered.
Is the Interior Design certificate KHDA approved?
Yes. You receive a KHDA-approved course completion certificate when you finish the Interior Design course at Edoxi Training Institute in Dubai. The Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) is Dubai's education regulator, and its approval means employers across the UAE recognise the certificate. To earn it, you complete the 80-hour training, the three portfolio projects, and the final assessment.
Which institute offers the best interior design course in Dubai?

The best Interior Design Training institutes in Dubai,depends on four factors: KHDA approval, batch size, the software covered, and the trainer's track record. Edoxi Training Institute is KHDA-approved, runs batches of 1 to 4 students, covers AutoCAD, 3ds Max, V-Ray, and Photoshop in one 80-hour programme. Compare institutes on these four factors before you enrol.

How do you become an interior designer in the UAE?
You become an interior designer in the UAE by building core design skills, creating a portfolio, and applying for entry-level design roles. Start with structured training in technical drafting, space planning, and 3D visualisation, such as the 80-hour Interior Design course at Edoxi in Dubai. Then build a portfolio from your course projects and apply for roles like Junior Interior Designer, CAD Technician, or 3D Visualiser at Dubai's design studios and fit-out firms.
Is interior design difficult to learn?
Interior design is demanding but learnable with structured guidance and regular practice. The Interior Design course at Edoxi in Dubai breaks the field into a step-by-step path: design theory, technical drawing in AutoCAD, space planning, 3D modelling in 3ds Max, and rendering in V-Ray. You master one concept before the next builds on it, and batches of 1 to 4 students mean the trainer resolves your doubts in every session.
Why Study Interior Design in Dubai?

Dubai is one of the strongest markets in the world to study and practise interior design. The city's real estate, hospitality, and retail sectors continuously deliver new villas, apartments, hotels, offices, and fit-out projects, and every one of them needs interior design work. Employers such as Omniyat, Stantec, HBA, Workspace, and IDP Engineering Consultancy hire designers across this pipeline.

Studying in Dubai also means learning the standards you will actually work with. The Interior Design course at Edoxi in Dubai covers Dubai Municipality building codes and spatial standards, and your projects follow the luxury-focused aesthetics UAE clients expect. A portfolio built on local standards speaks directly to local employers, which a generic international course cannot offer.

The career economics support the decision. Entry-level designers in Dubai earn AED 4,000 to 6,000 per month, with senior roles paying AED 12,000 and above, and the city's tax-free income increases what you keep at every level. Training is also accessible: KHDA-approved courses like Edoxi's take 80 hours, so you can qualify for entry-level roles within months, not years.

What is the difference between an interior design certificate and a diploma in Dubai?
A certificate course (80 hours) delivers job-ready skills and a portfolio within weeks, while a diploma (3–12 months) provides a broader formal qualification. Edoxi offers both, see our Diploma in Interior Design in Dubai.
What is the salary of an interior designer in Dubai?
