  2. I’m happy to read that here isn’t that much difference between brick & mortar schools and online courses.
    I’ve got an online furniture shop, and I have been thinking of attending an interior design course for some time now so that I can give better advice to my customers, but haven’t done it because I just don’t have time to go to classes, but now I will have a look at online courses. Thanks for the information!
