WHAT IS
INTERIOR DESIGN
ACCREDITATION?
The Industry Transformation Roadmap Development for Singapore’s interior design industry was commissioned by DesignSingapore in 2018.
This roadmap identified the need for industry regulation. This would elevate and uphold the level of Interior design professionalism, thereby establishing the industry on the global stage.
Spearheaded by the Society of Interior Designers, Singapore, the Singapore Interior Design Accreditation Scheme was subsequently developed to elevate the Singapore Interior Design profession by defining core skill sets and competencies to bridge the gap between education and practice.
The scheme together with Interior Design best practices will help ensure high standards across Singapore.
Coupled with Continuing Professional Development (CPD), practitioners would have the opportunity to upskill, build capacity and eventually export their skills overseas.
