Human Resources

Hi Priya,Good to know you are restarting again after a gap. This might be very inspiring for lot of People. In Interior Designing - there are two kind of works mainly:
1. Self Employed - a) most common is - Freelance Interior designer - you carry our projects for people - home offices etc. (here investment is less) b) You open up your own store and sell Home, Office decor/renovation materials - furnishings / design furnitures / spaces etc.
2. Work for an Interior Decorator or a with a interiors Firm
For both these kind of jobs you need to learn some basics + advanced. If assume you are a graduate already - then go for some short term advanced course for 3-6 months. I know lot of Women (housewives) who did these short term courses and are doing very well in working as a freelance Designer. They get clients through common friends from social media FB etc. But if you are planning to work for some firm you need to have some Diploma or degree. So, Go ahead and all the best.

So, basically, your friend is already working as an accountant and that he has good experience of 4 years, and I see his qualifications like BA in English and MBA HR Finance, so I think doing ICWA is a waste of time and money because he has already done his MBA. Now, if you really want to try out new things, then you can try for certificate courses on a different term online platforms for weekend to some other course to increase your learning. But, if you want to go for ICWA, then I want to say that you shouldn't to go maybe it will be another learning experience for you. But, then try for other certificate courses related to your field, so that you can hone your skills.
