Voices of graduated students

"I was training to learn more about both styling and work as an interior designer. I learned a lot that I even now in retrospect is very useful both in my personal life and at work. Thanks to the training I have among others I found work at Hemtex this summer and I really enjoy it, then I am free from my studies at the university. 

As we are also busy with renovating our apartment is also easy to think back to training and remembering what one would think of different situations. I'm glad I took this course it has given me a lot"
