The interviewer wants to know how your education has prepared you to succeed as a Design Consultant. A well-rounded educational background will show the interviewer that you have a vested interest in your career path and have the desire and dedication to further studies regularly.
When outlining your education and training, be sure to discuss the learning opportunities and experiences most relevant to the position. For example, if you have a Bachelor of Arts in Interior Design and this role requires a lot of work inside design programs, be sure to discuss the related courses you completed and mention where you excelled.
Perhaps you are heavily into self-led learning, and you recently gained a skill that will help you perform very well in this consulting role. In that case, talk about what you learned and mention how it will benefit the hiring company when they hire you.

"I graduated from Yorkville University with my Bachelor of Interior Design in 2007. I received various scholarships due to strong grades, and I was on the Dean's list for three out of my four years. My best grades were in courses surrounding aesthetics, function, and designing safe commercial spaces. My education helped build a strong foundation and professional discipline, allowing me to continue to develop in-demand skills while also being an active member with professional groups such as the Council for Interior Design Accreditation and the Association of Registered Interior Designers of Canada."
