M. Venema, cursist Interieurstyling Drachten
Afgelopen maand geslaagd voor de opleiding Interieurstyling van de Interieuracademie.
Wat heb ik een fantastische tijd gehad. We hadden een ontzettend leuke groep en veel onderling contact/hulp. De inspirerende en duidelijke lessen van onze docent hebben mij echt zoveel bijgebracht!
Ik heb 16 jaar in de zorg gewerkt, heb ontslag genomen en nu inmiddels begonnen met een eigen bedrijf in de interieurstyling. Nog nooit een moment spijt gehad van mijn keuze!
