There is a problem though if you are practicing out of your area of expertise, partiularly if you sign and seal this work. I hope that's not the case. It's hard to say with an interior non-load-bearing wall, but is it worth it in the end? I think it's worth having a professional check what you are doing. In the end it protects you, the client and your company.
