Madina Yussupova
Madina Yussupova tells us about her studies:
I decided to study the Interior Design course because while working as a graphic designer I did, among other things, visualization of the interior in 3D Max according to the customer’s sketches. But in the process of work, I had to make changes to the interior, so in order to give the right advice, I need the knowledge of an interior design. And in the future I want to work more in-depth in this direction in order to plan the interior design from scratch.
In studies I like the personal account and how everything is planned. Each lesson lasts about 15-20 minutes, that is, you don’t get tired of listening to the lesson. The information is quite understandable. I really like the feedback, comments, which help to come to the right result.

Zhenya Gnatusko tells us about the studies:
“For me, this course is a completely new area of knowledge and therefore each module pleases me. Practical exercises are checked and feedback is a very good indicator of the quality of the assimilation of the material. I like the fact that the homework method is always with justifications and suggestions instead of dry “done”.
