I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the last 3 days. You’ve really given me back my confidence in believing I can do this.  The course was brilliant, you were so generous in sharing all of your knowledge and I didn’t feel stupid for not knowing enough, I felt like I could ask you anything. I loved every bit of it and have been buzzing ever since!  I’ve never done anything where I can’t wait to do more of it asap, at break, lunch, before bed etc and just learn as much as I can.

Thanks very much for the very useful course that I had with you! To be honest, I learned in these 3 days more than I learned in 3 years at uni! I graduated from my interior design course a year ago and to be very honest I wouldn't have made it without your CAD course, as I learned the basics through the course and I managed to learn so much more during my final year and did a laser cut model for my project using CAD, which was something that I have never believed that I can do! So thank you very much for every information you taught me through the course!

After completing the 3-day interior design workshop, we can highly recommend it to everyone! We travelled all the way from Israel to Cardiff for this workshop, and it was totally worth it. In fact, it exceeded all our expectations! The course covered a wide range of topics, including taking a brief from clients, surveying spaces, drawing plans to scale and creating mood boards. The workshop provided practical tools which can not only help develop a hobby but can also serve as a guide to begin working as an interior designer. The positive environment of the workshop buzzed with creativity and inspiration. The teacher, Gail Speck, was professional and down to earth but also warmhearted and fun. The small size of the group allowed each of us to receive personal attention and guidance while being encouraged to develop our own creative style. If you’re looking for some fun or for tools to start a business, this course is just for you! Highly recommended!​
