Testimonials

Choong Pak Mun, Malaysia - Rhodec BA Graduate

"I wish to thank all staff, the Principal and tutors of Rhodec for this rare opportunity to earn a BA from a prestigious University, without even leaving the country. Once again Rhodec outclassed all other colleges in distance learning education. Thank you."

Zsuzsanna Fehrman, Fredericksburg, VA, USA - Diploma/DipHE Graduate

"I wanted to take this opportunity to say thanks for all of your assistance throughout my Rhodec educational experience. Your school is top notch, and I wish Rhodec much continued future success! I found that my tutors were genuinely interested in helping me succeed. Whenever I had questions regarding my studies, I always received prompt responses from both my tutors and Rhodec's administrative offices. Since completing my Rhodec studies, I have to say that I feel well prepared to enter the exciting field of interior design. Best wishes to you all."

Tina Widlowski, West Chester, OH, USA

"Since I was a teenager, I dreamed of having a career in the interior design field. I would enroll just about every fall at my local college only to find myself overwhelmed with juggling children, school and a career. I would find myself once again dropping out of college and putting my dreams on hold to fulfill my obligations. I rode this merry-go-around for over 25 years.

"I was searching the web one day and I came across the website for Rhodec Interational. I logged on and was immediately impressed with what I read and thrilled to learn that ASID would accept Rhodec Diploma Course students as Student Members. I had finally found a course of learning that would help me professionally develop my talent and qualify me to become a practitioner in the interior design world.

"After completing the Diploma Course, I am pleased to say, "I am now an interior designer." I was immediately hired by one of the top design firms in the city. I impressed myself with the knowledge and skills that I was able to bring to the table. I could not have achieved my dreams without your fabulous program and the guidance and patience of my wonderful tutor. Thank you so much for opportunity to achieve my lifelong ambitions."

Jenny Didas, Charleston, WV, USA

"I was living overseas in Saudi Arabia when I completed the Rhodec program. It took a lot of hard work and self discipline to move through the project assignments. Upon my return to the USA, I gained immediate employment as an Interior Designer for a large construction firm.

"I now have my own design firm, Design Forum, which specializes in interior planning for new residential construction. Recently, I was accepted as an Allied Member of the American Society of Interior Designers. I have complete creative freedom by operating from an office in my home. My research and attendance at trade shows has led to an extensive design library which is available to my clients. I communicate with local builders via the internet and meet them at the construction sites to work out interior details. I could not dream of a better career than this!"

Vanessa Strange, Palm Springs, CA, USA

"I think you have an excellent program. I've attended two supposedly "top" colleges in the US, and honestly your curriculum, organization, and depth of material were superior to much of what was presented at either of these."

Vicki Hahn, Conyers, GA, USA

"I'm also taking a (distance learning) course in the US. It isn't nearly as in-depth a course as Rhodec. If you're serious about interior design, I just don't think you could find a better distance learning opportunity than Rhodec. When I get through the course, I will feel that I have really achieved something important."

Marion Clare, Fairfield, Canada

"I graduated with a Rhodec Diploma in May 1991 and ran my own interior design business in England until I moved to Canada in 1994. Before I emigrated I was offered a position as an associate designer with a presitigious interior design company here in Victoria. I worked with them for around six months and then set up my own company, and have been steadily busy with most of my clients coming from referrals. I enclose a copy of my brochure which I hope may be of interest as I know you always like to hear about the progress of your students. My training seems to be of an unusually high standard here and I am frequently asked where I studied. I will always be grateful to Rhodec for my thorough education in interior design. Keep up the good work."

Jill Armitage, Chesterfield, UK

"When I expressed an interest in learning more about your interior design and decoration courses, I eagerly devoured every scrap of information in your prospectus. Needless to say, I liked what I read and enrolled for the Diploma Course. Part of the prospectus, devoted to 'students tell us', I pooh-poohed - why? Because I liked facts and not fairy tales, and I believed these to be the latter. Well, Rhodec, if you had been my fairy godmother, you could not have given me anything better than the opportunities that your training has opened up for me. Fairy tales: never; facts: every time. Everything that you promised has come true, and more. Thank you, Rhodec; I will continue to sing your praises. I owe you so much: you not only gave me a career, you gave me self-esteem and confidence in my own ability."

Ashton Hollands, Durban, South Africa

"It seems that my lifetime dream has come true! I enclose my application for fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts duly signed by the fellows, and it just awaits the Principal's signature. Believe me, I am most enthusiastic about Rhodec. It's the most thorough and beautifully worked out course and I give it full credit for my competence in the subject."

Jenny Johnson, Surrey, UK

"I'd have no hesitation in recommending anyone to enrol for one of your interior design courses. I found it very comprehensive and it gave me the knowledge and confidence to embark on my new career as a freelance designer and subsequently start my own business."

John Doak (Architect), Cayman Islands

"I have found the knowledge gained from the Rhodec course has helped tremendously in many of the schemes I have produced here, ranging from condominiums and private homes, to banks and office buildings. The main thing I appreciate about Rhodec was that it filled a large gap in the standard course of architecture and several of my friends in the profession have followed suit."

Laurie Horton Ledger, Sussex, UK

"My decision to study with Rhodec has provided me with a most rewarding second career. Having previously worked as a secretary with no previous training in interior design, I completed the Diploma Course in a little over two years. A year later, I now run my own business and have just moved into new larger offices in central Hove, having started working from a small spare room at home. We have been appointed interior design consultants to a local building society which will entail the refurbishment of their 40 offices over the next few years. I have just redesigned an accountant's offices and am at present having discussions with a major seafront hotel in Brighton and hope shortly to carry out some work for them. We have even revamped the waiting room of a local crematorium! Our two latest projects are a company flat on the top floor of a large office block, and the conversion of a big Victorian house in Ealing. This latter commission came as a direct result of the clients knowing Rhodec's reputation and asking the college to recommend a graduate working in their area. I only wish I'd discovered Rhodec twenty years ago and given up all those years spent at the typewriter!"

"I'm writing to thank you and your staff for helping me to get my qualification. On getting it I applied for associate membership of the Institute of Professional Designers. Needless to say, I was delighted when I was informed that they had decided to elect me a fellow of the Institute. I've made a good start, having been commissioned to give a colour scheme for a large chapel in Salisbury, which should enable me to buy some better drawing materials which I would like. Once again, thank you."

Solange Lauthier, Paris, France

"I am only half way through the Associate Diploma Course but I want to tell you that I am already delighted: the course is interesting, challenging and good value for money; also, I have a very good contact with my tutor."
