G. Stavropol
I have a very “rare” profession - a lawyer. But by nature I am a creative person and I have always been attracted to the profession of designer. Unfortunately, I was not able to immediately follow this path. I am from another city, and we do not have specialized educational institutions of the appropriate level. But when time and opportunity arose, I started looking for a decent place to study.
Since the International School of Design offers distance learning formats, my attention immediately fell on IDS. When I flew here for the Open Day, I was very inspired by the speeches of the School’s teachers and graduates. After communicating with Mike Shilov, Marat Ka, with the guys who once received an education at IDS and are now successfully realizing themselves in the profession, I realized that there is no turning back!
After the Open Day, I reconsidered my attitude to the training format and decided to come to Moscow for a few months to attend a summer intensive course. This format allowed us to get as much as possible in the shortest possible time.
Theoretical basis, computer design skills, drawing basics, first professional project - the school gave us a lot! I didn’t realize how interesting information could be presented! Maximum availability, maximum concentration.
When I came to the Open Day and saw the graduates’ projects, I didn’t believe that I would be able to do something like that. But the teachers did the impossible - I did everything and even more!
Moscow city:
I was looking for a place where I could gain full knowledge in order to independently develop design projects from A to Z, from concept to drawings and more. And the most important thing is that I can immediately put them into practice, right tomorrow! After looking at the training program at IDS, I realized that this is what I was looking for.
The training program is very well designed, and the approach of the teachers is simply fantastic! I didn’t think that it was possible to master such a volume of material in 2.5 months. I received much more than I expected.
Yekaterinburg city
I have been involved in design for quite a long time, I even managed to get a specialized education in this field. But I lacked the knowledge I had previously acquired. It was to fill these gaps that I came to IDS.
Already starting from the very first module, I discovered a lot of new things, and this despite the fact that I already had preparation! The designer must be a little daring, I didn’t have that before. But now, having an extensive knowledge base, I can afford it! This is what I learned here.
Many of my classmates didn't even think they would do half of what they ended up doing. This is a credit to the school. It’s incredible that this can be achieved in 2.5 months!

Section navigation × I live in America, or rather, in sunny, sunny California, practically on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. If you ask me “Was it difficult to move?”... Friends, of course it was difficult! But what I was 99 and 9 percent sure of was my English. Because already at that moment I could talk and the Americans even understood me. […]

I have been living in the UK for 3 years and studying at the Glion Institute of Higher Education. London stole my heart forever. I just love this city. But it’s quite difficult to live here without proper knowledge of English. Therefore, I want to say a huge thank you to the Start2Study courses! There was no cramming and no tediousness at all in these courses. And most importantly, there [...]
Pyotr Kuznetsov and Elena Bykova
Completed an English language course under the Start2Study program. The impressions are excellent, I finally got my head around the grammatical rules, which used to be very scary and seemed complicated. Classes are held in small groups, but there is always an individual approach; teachers answer all questions that arise, leaving no complex topic unattended. The courses also include classes with native teachers [...]
Denis Trukhin
For a very long time I dreamed of starting to learn English, but as always, everything was either postponed or abandoned. One friend suggested that I go and look at the Start2Study courses. I arrived there, took the test, talked with the teacher, and my level was determined to be Elementary. The courses started literally in a week and I didn’t have much time to think, so I decided to start! […]
Tatiana Nikitenko
I owe my knowledge at the Upper-Intermediate level to the teachers of the Start2Study English language courses. Starting from Pre-Intermediate, for a year I studied with different teachers, both Russian-speaking and native speakers. It should be noted that each of them is unique, but all are united by high professional qualities, love for their field of knowledge and for us, students, as well as the ability to […]
We will talk about lighting design. If in Europe this direction has long been one of the important components of interior design, then we are just beginning to form an understanding that the development of competent lighting is as important a part of the interior project as competent zoning, layout, color combinations, selection of materials and furniture. The main objectives of the course are to explain to students the nature of light, teach them to think with light, and give them working lighting techniques with which they can implement their ideas in interiors. The course is designed for both young and experienced professionals, interior designers and architects who want to expand their knowledge of lighting and learn how to use light as a tool in their work.
To participate in the intensive, we managed to assemble a team of the best lighting professionals in our country. Listeners will be able to consider the issue of lighting from all sides: this includes architecture, design, lighting engineering, and lighting control. Representatives of design companies, representatives of lighting factories, architects and designers will come to us and talk about their experience working with light and about completed projects. One of the days of the intensive will be entirely devoted to creating and developing your own lamp, which will be an excellent opportunity to understand how different materials and shapes work with light. In addition to lectures, practical workshops will be held daily (practical classes are generally the basis of our intensive), where intensive participants will work directly with lighting equipment, model and create their own lighting scenes, learn to select lamps and luminaires for their projects and justify their choice to the customer.
Our course is an introductory part to a very interesting profession. Light is a powerful weapon with which space changes and transforms. It’s difficult to master all the nuances of the profession in eight days, but I hope we can lift the curtain and awaken interest in lighting design. In addition, we, of course, will give the necessary theory, teach you how to calculate illumination and explain why LEDs are good/bad. But the main thing that our listeners will get at the end is a powerful tool for transforming space, which they can use in their projects.
