Visual Merchandiser Education

The duration of the course depends on how you choose to study. At Nordic Online Academy, you have full flexibility – you can study wherever and whenever it suits you, at your own pace. Therefore, you have significant influence over how long it takes to complete the course.

If you want an in-depth and solid understanding of the visual merchandising field, we recommend taking the time to engage fully with the lessons and reflect on the topics you learn. This reflection is important, as it prepares you for the challenges you will face as a professional visual merchandiser and helps you build a stronger professional foundation.

We therefore recommend that you contact our student guidance team for personal advice and assistance in planning your course path.

The course format is 100% digital. This means that after registration, you will receive your welcome letter along with your personal login for the course on our user-friendly learning platform. The platform is structured in modules, which you complete one at a time at your own pace.

The tests are not just a form of evaluation – they are a tool to ensure that you understand and can apply what you learn.

When you enroll in the visual merchandiser course, you will initially have access to the teaching materials for a full 2 years. This period ensures that you have plenty of time to learn at your own pace, and you can easily return to the materials whenever you need to. Whether you want to refresh your knowledge or dive deeper into specific topics, you have the flexibility and time to do so.

In addition, you will also have the option to download the textual course materials, allowing you to use them during the course and even after completing your studies, providing value for a long time.
