Interior Design Courses by Distance Learning / Correspondence / Online

Books and Equipment for Sale

Manuals for the interior design courses are provided by Rhodec but, as with any worthwhile course, it is necessary to supplement your studies by further reading of reference books from libraries, etc. Similarly, Diploma Course students must have access to drawing equipment, paints, brushes, coloured pencils, ink drawing pens, etc. Most required items may be purchased direct from Rhodec if desired, and we list below our current stock. These items are available to anybody who wishes to purchase them, and not just to Rhodec students.

Once you've made your choices please just send us the order, including your credit card details. We'll then work out the price of sending the items and email you back with the total price, and request that you email authorization for us to deduct the appropriate amount from your credit card. In that way you will pay only what it costs us to send the items, and will not be expected to pay individual postage and packing prices when we may well be able to send several items in one package. (RRP is Recommended Retail Price.)
