International differences in the necessary an Interior Designer
In many countries, the title ‘Interior Designer’ is the skills and remit of the items the UK call an ‘Interior Decorator. The confusion concerns protection of title. In Europe, an Interior Architect describes exactly the same remit and skill of the British interior designer, but as ‘Architect’ can be a protected title in the UK it can't be used to describe an indoor designer. Descriptions on the role and skills of interior designers differ all over the world, unlike those of an Architect, Lawyer or Doctor the spot that the title is clearly identified.
SBID aimed to clarify the role and definition by identifying the many sector specialisms within decor that require specific compliance laws. A clear perception of roles and obligations is core to your teaching structures and course content which trains new professionals. SBID is constantly on the work towards title recognition on an Interior Designer in the UK.
How does an Interior Designer become qualified?
In the UK, you can describe themselves as a possible ‘interior designer’. Therefore for consumer protection, separation and distinction on the masses of hobbyists is vital. The SBID member status denotes an enhanced a higher level professional qualification and work experience beyond university education.
Designers can join at any stage of their career and progress over the membership levels to own highest volume of practice for an SBID Accredited professional. SBID also accredits university course content as fit for professional practice, offering students at any recognised decor course free student membership. In 2022, SBID will introduce an entry exam to measure acquired knowledge. This process adds a layer above honours degree and work placements, supplying the first UK based-tested measure of knowledge that could further your energy to protect the title of ‘home design’ in Great Britain.
