A Dream Come True for Distance Learners

I was looking for months for a fashion programme that would work for me, and I had just about given up hope when I found the FDI.
Where I live, there aren't any fashion schools that are within my time budget and general cost, so, naturally, I went online.
There, I found a new problem. Time zones!

FDI perfectly answers all of the issues I had — they're ENTIRELY asynchronous, they're well-established, the coursework and instructors are well balanced and very conducive to a good learning environment, and it's very affordable!

I am currently in the middle of the course, and whenever I had issues, I was able to message the instructors and I got helpful advice without much wait time, which allowed me to continue on with my course, content in the fact that I could reach out if I needed help, not only to the instructors, but also there is a vibrant community of students here that can all interact for not just community, but networking and mutual support.
