Who we are

Limperts Academy of Design is an Awarding Body for Professional Design Courses. Their Head Office is based in Dublin, Ireland and their courses are available to students internationally through Home Study and through a number of “Affiliated Colleges”. All courses have been developed with the input of leading educational bodies, training consultants and professional designers and architects. Registered Tutors and Affiliated Colleges of Limperts Academy are independently operated, yet they receive all the support they need to ensure that each course is taught to a consistently high standard, whether a student chooses to study in Ireland, the UK or the USA.

Limperts Academy of Design has taken a unique and flexible approach to education, and all of their design courses have been broken down into very specific modules and formats, so that students can choose the subjects relevant to their individual requirements. This approach allows students to build on their strengths and tailor their education to suit the precise career path that they want to pursue. “In the same way that an architect uses a variety of materials to build a home, modules could be described as “building blocks” which students may use in a variety of ways to build a unique future!” claims Principal, Maria Flynn.

Each course offered by Limperts Academy of Design, contains a variety of assignments that build on the skills learned throughout the course itself, and these have been deliberately structured so that they will also form an impressive portfolio for graduates to show to potential clients and employers. At the end of each course, students are asked to complete a Final Project, and the final grade awarded to students is based on continuous assessment by tutors, and the results of the Final Project combined.

Diploma in Image & Fashion Styling
Fashion Styling and Image Consultancy are two subjects with quite different focuses, yet they are extremely complementary to each other. This course teaches you how to bring out the best in people, by making the most of their individual body shape, features and personality! It also teaches you how to analyse style and create the right look for retail displays, fashion shows and Magazine Shoots.

Diploma in Landscape & Garden Design
Great Gardens are designed, not just planted. This course covers all the key aspects of garden design and is ideal for those thinking about it as a career. It also covers everything you need to know if you want to create the perfect garden for your home.

Certificate courses are also available in the following areas:

Colour Consultancy
Many businesses around the world are discovering how skilful use of colour psychology can be used to increase productivity, reduce absenteeism and even increase sales. Skilled Colour Consultants are becoming highly sought after, and while knowledge of colour science is vital, this must be coupled with practical application. This course covers all.

Commercial Design Consultancy
Commercial Design Consultants need to know how to identify the right image for their clients and then project that image congruently through their work. This is the first course of its kind that identifies the key business skills that specifically complement the work of designers, and it brings a new and much needed dimension to all types of design work.

Fashion Styling
The world of Fashion Styling is exciting and glamorous, and it also has a serious side - which is BIG business! With training, anyone can develop an “eye” for the right details, but the real key to success in this business is in practical application. This course teaches students both and gives sound advice and tools to help them begin working in the Styling industry.

Image Consultancy
There is only one chance to make a first impression, and that’s why image consultancy is becoming a serious business. This course is aimed at those who want to work as Image Consultants, and subjects covered include: Individual analysis, Image & Style, Personal Development (of styles/trends), Wardrobe Planning and Presenting Yourself.

Successful Project Management
Anyone involved in planning a design or construction project must have a firm understanding of project management skills if the project is to run smoothly AND if the end result is to turn out as originally envisioned. This course teaches the skills necessary for running any project or team production, it demystifies the jargon and includes a selection of templates.

Lighting Design
Lighting design is ordinarily a highly technical and specialised subject, and this is the first course of its kind to offer training specifically for residential lighting design. Subjects covered include: Lighting effects, bulbs & fittings, room by room analysis, Technicalities of lighting, switches & wiring and creating electrical plans & specifications.

Curtains & Soft Furnishing Design
This is the first course of its kind to offer specific training for curtain design as opposed to curtain making. It was developed for training sales staff and interior designers who must have a full understanding of fabric and curtain construction, measuring-up and calculating fabric requirement, and has become a popular training tool in the soft furnishings industry.

Landscape & Garden Design
The garden is no longer just an extension of our homes, but it is an important area in itself and successful garden designers can create an environment where plants, building materials, colour and form all work together to create a space that is stimulating and enjoyable for everyone. This course is an intensive introduction to gardening, and a follow-on diploma course is currently under development by Limperts Academy of Design.
