A GLIMPSE INTO THE COURSE CONTENT:

Throughout this course we will help you develop an expert eye that no supplier can trick !
Here is one example : how to tell a fake stone from a genuine one. 
 

In order to tell a real marble from a copy, simply turn the sample over and look at the underside. Now look at the edge of the tile, you will see two different layers on the ceramic tile rather than one single solid material on the stone sample.

The course is illustrated throughout with a selection of videos.

Here's our Interior Decoration Teacher Catherine Bourquin explaining how to use linen in interior design projects :
