The application deadline is approaching rapidly. We accept enrollments until March 15, 2024. After this date, registration will close for this session, and the next intake will not be available until September 2024.

We recommend submitting your application as soon as possible, as places are limited to 30 participants per session. Once capacity is reached, we will close enrollment even before the official deadline.

This program is suitable for apartment owners, renters planning long-term stays, and anyone interested in optimizing their living space. No prior experience in interior design or home improvement is required.

Our participants typically include young professionals moving into their first apartments, families looking to reorganize their homes, and individuals preparing for renovations. The course adapts to different skill levels, from complete beginners to those with some DIY experience.

The curriculum includes 8 comprehensive modules covering space planning, storage optimization, lighting design, color selection, furniture arrangement, budget management, sustainable materials, and maintenance strategies.

Each module combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises. You will learn to measure and plan your space accurately, select appropriate materials within budget constraints, and implement solutions that work for your specific apartment layout and lifestyle needs.

The program runs for 6 weeks, with two 2-hour sessions per week. Sessions are scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 18:30 to 20:30, making it convenient for working professionals.

Additionally, you receive access to our online platform for 3 months after course completion, where you can review recorded sessions, download materials, and participate in alumni discussions. The total time commitment is approximately 24 hours of live instruction plus 10-15 hours of self-paced practice.

We offer both formats. In-person sessions take place at our training center on Oborishte Street, № 88 in Sofia. Online sessions are conducted via Zoom with full interaction capabilities, including screen sharing, breakout rooms for group work, and live Q&A.

Both formats follow the same curriculum and provide equal access to instructors. Online participants receive digital materials immediately, while in-person attendees get printed workbooks. You can choose your preferred format during registration, and switching between formats is possible with 48 hours notice if space permits.

The standard fee is 420 BGN for the complete 6-week program. This includes all course materials, access to the online platform, a comprehensive workbook, measurement tools kit, and a certificate upon completion.

Early registration (before March 1) qualifies for a 15% discount, reducing the fee to 357 BGN. We also offer a payment plan option: 50% upon enrollment and 50% before the third session. Group discounts are available for 3 or more participants from the same household or workplace.

We provide a starter kit that includes a measuring tape, graph paper, pencils, and a color wheel. For practical exercises, you will need basic items from your own apartment: photos of your rooms, measurements of your space, and examples of furniture or decor you currently own.

Optional but helpful items include a smartphone or camera for documenting your space, a notebook for personal observations, and samples of materials or colors you are considering. All specialized tools for demonstrations are provided during in-person sessions.

Yes, participants who attend at least 10 out of 12 sessions and complete the final project receive a Certificate of Completion from UrbanHomeAnswers. This document confirms your participation and the skills covered during the program.

The certificate is not a professional qualification but demonstrates your commitment to learning practical apartment solutions. Many participants include it in their personal portfolios or use it when working with contractors and designers to show their understanding of home improvement principles.

Absolutely. Our online format is specifically designed for participants throughout Bulgaria and beyond. You will have the same learning experience as in-person attendees, with live interaction, group discussions, and personalized feedback.

Online participants from cities like Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, and Ruse have successfully completed previous sessions. The time zone is EET (Eastern European Time), and all sessions are recorded, so if you occasionally miss a live session due to schedule conflicts, you can watch the recording within 24 hours.

Full refunds are available if you cancel at least 7 days before the course start date. Cancellations made 3-6 days before the start receive a 50% refund. Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds for cancellations made less than 3 days before the first session or after the course has begun.

In exceptional circumstances (medical emergencies, family situations), we offer the option to transfer your enrollment to the next available session instead of a refund. This must be requested in writing to [email protected] with appropriate documentation.

Applications are submitted through our online form on this website. The process takes approximately 5 minutes. You will need to provide your contact information, preferred format (online or in-person), and answer a few questions about your apartment and goals.

After submission, you will receive a confirmation email within 24 hours with payment instructions. Your spot is reserved once payment is received. If you have questions during the application process, contact us at +359 88 523 7891 during business hours or email [email protected].

No formal prerequisites are required. The course is designed for individuals with varying levels of experience, from complete beginners to those with some home improvement knowledge. You should be at least 18 years old and have access to an apartment (owned or rented) where you can apply the concepts learned.

Basic computer skills are helpful for online participants, including the ability to use video conferencing software and download materials. For in-person attendees, simply bring your enthusiasm and willingness to learn practical skills for improving your living space.

All sessions are recorded and made available on our online platform within 24 hours. You can watch missed sessions at your convenience and still complete assignments. However, we encourage attendance at live sessions for the interactive components and immediate feedback from instructors.

If you know in advance that you will miss a session, inform us so we can provide supplementary materials. For in-person participants who miss sessions, recordings are equally accessible. Remember that attendance at 10 out of 12 sessions is required for certificate eligibility.

Each participant receives one 30-minute individual consultation during the course, typically scheduled in week 4 or 5. This session focuses on your specific apartment challenges and allows you to discuss your project in detail with an instructor.

Additional consultations can be purchased separately at 60 BGN per hour. These are particularly useful if you are planning a renovation or have complex space planning needs. Alumni of the course receive a 20% discount on consultation services for 6 months after completion.

We limit each session to 30 participants to ensure personalized attention and meaningful interaction. This size allows instructors to provide individual feedback on projects while maintaining group discussions and collaborative learning opportunities.

Classes typically include a mix of online and in-person participants. Our instructors use techniques to ensure both groups feel equally engaged. Smaller group sizes mean you can ask questions freely, share your specific challenges, and receive detailed guidance tailored to your apartment situation.

The final project involves creating a comprehensive plan for one room in your apartment. You will apply the concepts learned throughout the course, including space planning, color selection, furniture arrangement, and budget allocation. The project includes floor plans, mood boards, and a detailed implementation timeline.

Projects are presented during the final session, where you receive feedback from instructors and peers. This is not a test but an opportunity to consolidate your learning and create a practical roadmap you can actually implement in your home. Most participants complete their projects within 8-10 hours spread across the final two weeks.

Yes, we encourage couples or family members to enroll together, as home decisions often involve multiple people. Each person must register separately, but we offer a group discount of 10% when 2 people from the same household enroll, and 15% for 3 or more.

Joint enrollment allows you to work on the same apartment project from different perspectives, which often leads to more comprehensive solutions. Many of our most successful projects have come from couples who brought complementary skills and ideas to their final presentations.

Alumni gain access to our private online community where you can share progress, ask questions, and connect with other graduates. This forum remains active indefinitely and includes occasional contributions from instructors. You also receive our monthly newsletter with tips, product recommendations, and updates on new techniques.

We host quarterly alumni meetups in Sofia (also available online) where graduates can present completed projects, discuss challenges, and learn about advanced topics. These sessions are free for alumni and provide ongoing learning opportunities beyond the initial course.

We are available to answer questions through multiple channels. Call us at +359 88 523 7891 during business hours (Monday-Friday: 9:00-18:00, Saturday: 10:00-14:00). Email inquiries sent to [email protected] typically receive responses within 24 hours on weekdays.

You can also visit our office at Ulitsa Oborishte, № 88, Sofia 1504 for in-person consultations. We recommend scheduling an appointment to ensure an instructor is available. For urgent questions about enrollment or the application deadline, phone contact is fastest.
