# 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...

# Inspiration # Experience
I really enjoyed this course. It opened my thoughts and provided lots of new inspirations. I always wanted to learn about fashion and what goes into garment making. It was great to hear from so many different teachers and their experiences. It shows, how people view what you wear and what message we send to others. Fashion can be bold, can be subtle but to make it who we are as a human being is truly liberating. I want to thank WIFD and all my well experienced teachers for making me strong and bold.
