Tuition at any one of these schools can be quite expensive. You can 
expect to spend anywhere between $8,000 a year to $15,000 a year. 
A general certification course will run for four years. Getting certified 
could cost you anywhere from $32,000 to $60,000. Of course, financial 
aid is always available for those that need assistance. 

If these numbers and time frames scare you don't worry, there are 
alternatives to this type of formal schooling. There are also cheaper 
alternatives to getting certified. You can try any of the following.

Trade Schools

There are many trade schools out there that offer Interior Design as 
a course. Some of these schools are accredited and can give you the 
certification that you need. (Know that your credentials will not be 
as high or recognizable as those from a College or University) These 
schools do offer many of the same courses but they are condensed, and 
blended together to suit a shorter course duration.

You can generally expect the entire course to last from one year or 
two. The tuition is generally half of what you could expect to pay at 
a College or University. Your tuition could cost as little as $8,000 
for two years or $4,000 for one. Materials are generally included in 
the tuition, and financial aid is also available. 

Some Trade Schools do not have a set schedule for the finish of a 
program. Some will let you go at your own pace and finish as quickly 
or slowly as you need to. If you chose to go this route, be sure to 
check to see that it is an accredited school, and ask what is included 
in your tuition. Also ask what type of certification you will receive.
