KLC is a established design school with an international reputation for providing career focused education with a rounded practical approach. The main school is uniquely located in the heart of the interior design industry at Design Centre Chelsea Harbour and the garden design studio is based at KLC and within the historic gardens of Hampton Court Palace. Both locations are ideally situated to allow students to absorb many wonderful heritage and cutting edge buildings, interiors, gardens and museums. Emphasis is placed on creating a professional, friendly and inclusive environment with a focus on individual development to help students achieve their full, creative potential and derive maximum benefit and enjoyment from their studies. Tutors ensure from the start of a course that students have a real sense of belonging, are well orientated to the surrounding area, and form friendships through social gatherings so they can fully engage with the learning process. Extensive academic, welfare and careers support is provided for students. The school benefits from the broad range of industry links built up over the years which includes a prestigious Advisory Board and also works closely with the KLC Alumni Association. In recognition of the value of design and the ability of designers to improve the quality of people’s lives at home, work or leisure, wherever possible, validated courses include the opportunity for students to work on at least one community project. The school offers a wide range of accessible and flexible study methods. It is known for providing a high quality learning and teaching experience via both on site and online learning and has become a leading exponent of online delivery in recent years. Diploma and degree courses are validated by the University of Sussex.
