MARIETTA, GA -- To keep up with the growing demand in the design market, Chattahoochee Technical College’s Interiors program will begin offering a Kitchen and Bath Designer certificate program for the upcoming fall semester, which starts Aug. 22.

The Interiors program, which has been based out of the college’s Mountain View campus in Marietta, will also relocate to the Woodstock campus by the start of the upcoming academic year.

Interiors program instructor Ginger Burton said the new certificate program is "intended to prepare students to work as specialized interior designers with the knowledge of design layouts, material options, lighting requirements and business practices," the college said.

Students will also learn presentation techniques and how to apply solutions for environmental and energy efficiency as well as accessibility within these critical rooms of residences.

Once they complete the program, Burton said professionals will be able to manage projects from start to finish.

According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association, certification is a way for professionals to enhance their careers and market themselves as experts in the field. And, as the population within Chattahoochee Tech’s six-county service area continues to flourish, Burton notes housing and related industries will see a direct impact and a need for kitchen and bath designers.

Professionals who complete CTC's certification program can use their knowledge to find job opportunities planning for residential remodeling and new construction projects, as well as in showroom and specialty studio settings.

The national trend for design ideas shared through social media and through video productions continues to bring awareness of ideas and methods to homeowners; however, professional training is needed for meeting the needs of these demanding projects, the college notes.
