The Design Services cluster is designed to prepare students for initial employment or continued study in the Interior Design/Decorating industry or the Fashion industry. This cluster is a planned sequence of instruction consisting of a core, two programs (Interior Design Service and Fashion Design Services), and four completion points in each program.  Students must complete the core before advancing in either of the programs.  The core provides the foundation and basic skills that will enable the student to progress to either Interior Design Services or Fashion Design Services.  The recommended sequence allows students to complete specified portions of the program for employment or to remain for advanced training.
A student who completes the applicable competencies at each occupational completion point may either continue the training program or terminate as an occupational completer. The programs in this cluster may be offered at both secondary and post-secondary adult vocational (PSAV) levels.  The programs in this cluster consist of the following courses:
