Design Time (PTY) LTD is a small privately run Interior Design School in the heart of Observatory Cape Town and was established in 1987. The School offers a full time course in the field of Interior Design. The full-time course offered by Design Time (PTY) LTD are structured with the view to preparing students for careers in the professional world of building and Interior Design, and at the same time equipping them with the skills and the knowledge enabling them to explore other design disciplines such as furniture design, set design, textile design and product design. Essentially, the main objectives are to equip each student with the skills needed to exercise creativity in a practical form, and to encourage a spirit of enterprise, that is the lifeblood of a successful design practice. These considerations are given priority in the detailed planning of the syllabus, and in the day-to-day administration of Design Time (PTY) LTD. Our highly qualified and experienced lecturers are concerned with each learners design capabilities and individual progress, and are aware of the value of constructive criticism and personal encouragement as part of their growth and development. We therefore make ourselves available to assist the learners with any course-related problems that may arise during the academic year. The learner will leave Design Time with a professional standard of draughtsmanship, coloured visual presentations, and an understanding of the design and decoration of interiors, buildings, objects and furniture. This will be reflected in a portfolio illustrating a diverse series of projects. Students will be required to complete assignments within the studio times (9.00 am to 2.00 pm), as well as outside school hours. An 80% class attendance is a prerequisite for completing examination projects. Students who have completed the course have found employment in a great variety of design fields, i.e. architectural firms, interior design and decorating studios.
