“Great Course”

Written on: 30/01/2013

This course, being offered as home study, is a good alternative for those who can't afford to study full time. Having a full time and part time job, I've managed to complete the 2nd year HND in a year and a half, achieving a very good result whilst juggling work at the same time. This has obviously been very satisfying for me as I got the chance to study interior architecture at my own pace. I have definitely enjoyed doing this course, and learned a lot of valuable information that can be... (read more)

“DO NOT BUY THIS COURSE!!”

Written on: 29/08/2012 by Paul6978 (1 review written)

I was naive and took a course HND in interior design with Limperts. apart from my study material and email address you revive nothing. They will answer your emails and phone calls as long as you will be paying your payments. Once you paid them all the money they simply ignore you. There is no student support, your tutor will answer your e mails after few weeks if only. I have studied 3 years with them and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Please take my advise and don't bother with Limperts... (read more)

“Limperts Academy a hoax”

Written on: 10/11/2011 by ray53malta (1 review written)

I bought an interior design diploma course for my wife in January this year and paid over Stg1,500. Unfortunately, or perhaps shall I say fortunately, my wife could not undertake the studies due to arising family problems. I had paid the course in full in advance with credit card. She wrote to the acadmey several times asking for a refund but they didn't answer. The funny thing is that during the time that my wife had not sent in any of her assignments not a single email came from the... (read more)

“Money grabbers”

Written on: 09/11/2011 by Mebelou

I also was lured into the dreaded limperts interior design course, flew through all my exams with top marks and failed my final. When I rang to ask if they could help as to where I got it so wrong and to question how they marked my paper they told me they were not obliged to give out such information. There wasn't so much as a stamp on my exam to even indicate that they looked at it!!! They also mentioned that the only reason I must have got top marks all year was because I was a "... (read more)

“Taking the Interior Design course. Absolutely no...”

Written on: 23/02/2011

Taking the Interior Design course. Absolutely no instruction other that a few pages of typewritten text. They do not use modern technology to assist learning AT ALL. You pretty much have to learn on your own which you can do without having to pay thousands to Limperts! (read more)

Written on: 15/10/2010

It would be nice if Limperts Academy would spend their time resolving the problems with their course, rather than sitting online protesting their "innocence". Too many people have had issues with this course for the academy to be blameless. I am looking to launch a law suit against them for failing to provide all the required material and support, if any other students (or ex-students!) out there would be prepared to testify, and help to set a precident for themselves and future students,...

Written on: 24/06/2010 by Rubberduck (1 review written)

I was wanting to do an interior design course with Limperts Academy of Design and after being on a few forums I found mixed reviews on all there courses. So I thought I would ring them and see for myself as when I checked out their website I was very impressed. I found them to be helpful at the start but then when I asked about the prices and value for money as I was looking into the Rhodec design courses they became quite rude and short with me. I was then passed onto another member of... (read more)

An email received from a student who recently enrolled with us, describes their experience in quite a different manner...
<br/>
<br/>"Thank you very much for all your help. Your attention and attitude made me feel very comfortable about enrolling into Limperts. Long distant learning is not an easy choice, and my biggest concern was feeling that I can't reach anyone in the school when I need some help or some questions answered.
<br/>You definitely put those concerns to rest simply by giving me answers to all my questions, providing solutions to fit my specific situation, and making me feel that by enrolling to Limperts the faculty and the staff will be reachable partners that can assist in every situation. That was all I needed to put my concerns to rest and make the first step towards getting my Diploma.
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>Thanks again for all the help,"

“LImpert's Academy used my credit card WITHOUT Consent,...”

Written on: 04/02/2010

LImpert's Academy used my credit card WITHOUT Consent, authority or my knowledge. I enrolled in a one year diploma course, as a home study student from overseas. Payments were to be made by me, on a monthly basis, etc. All my emails were never answered and then they committed fraud. My credit card company was informed, and an investigation will ensue. I urge anyone thinking of paying online, with this instituition, don't do it. And research other schools that are more professional,... (read more)

Written on: 20/07/2009

I have just completed the Interior Design Diploma with limpert academy and found it really great. The course encourages you to come up with your own ideas. When i sent an email asking for help - it was answered on the same day and although the feedback is limited - it is precise, to the point and allowed me to develope as the course progressed. The course does take more time than I expected but many of the projects get you to produce some great items for your portfolio. I would recommend... (read more)

Written on: 31/05/2009 by sadaboutit (1 review written)

Limperts Academy school is a con. I graduated with the HND diploma in interior design. The school just wants your money, they don't care about anything else. Harsh support, the tutors change constantly, they are quite rude. They don't want anything to do with you via the phone. They prefer emails. If you are Canadian you still need to write the National exam. So this route is not the best. Go for your BA off the bat. Limperts Academy of Design is very expensive and unorganized. My...

Written on: 10/11/2006 by quivive (2 reviews written)

You get out of Limpert's Colour Consultancy what you put in. Well-written text with plenty of examples, enjoyable and relevant to a number of disciplines, from interior designers (definitely the main audience) to image consultants to graphic designers (which is what I am).

I DID learn a lot from the material, combined with a lot of my own research and outside reading. Most importantly, the required homework assignments have been incredibly helpful in providing me with material for... (read more)
