We have very well qualified and dedicated tutors and we have designed a curriculum that ensures conversion of interest/passion/talent to marketable skills.
We identify each individual need and tailor our teaching to suit them. To this end we have provided one sewing machine to a student and classes are not overcrowded, thus allowing for proper supervision and impartation of knowledge. Our teaching methods are both participatory and interactive and are consistent with guidelines of best practices based on national and international fashion education standards.
Hence, we have developed a curriculum that assists fast learning and offer short- and long-term courses which have been split into Foundation, Intermediate, Advance and Professional courses. We have indeed provided a premium Tailoring/fashion design training facility guaranteeing a safe, secure and respectful atmosphere suitable for learning with a strong consideration for equality and diversity.
