# Earning # Motivational
First of all I thank both WIFD and all the teachers there because this was the course I was looking for. I had enquired everything about the course including the subjects and portions in it. The details and benefits about their courses was very well explained to me and hence I joined WIFD. When I joined WIFD, I realised that teaching is not just about lectures, it is how you can make students understand the concepts. Teachers were very motivational, calm and friendly. This course was very useful for me as I could realise the mistakes which I made earlier. After this course, I'm able to earn a lot from my home itself. Thank you so much...

My confidence and strength during the course in WIFD was the inspiration I got from the teachers who are my role models. I was able to create my own designs after one month of joining the course. That is my most wonderful achievement in WIFD. Even though I’m a student now, I'm earning in my designing work and I'm completely satisfied for the fees I pay
