You may decide to use your new skills to find work in the fashion and textiles sector working as a sample machinist for example or even to start your own business in areas such as alterations, wedding dresses, bespoke manufacture or tailoring. Further study in this area will open more doors and further possibilities in this diverse sector.Assessment
The course is entirely practical, and you will be assessed through the completion of a series of garment and pattern cutting construction tasks set by an experienced tutor. The work is entirely manageable and you will receive clear step by step support in developing a portfolio of practical work that will showcase your newly developed fashion and textiles skills.
Entry Requirements
It is not necessary for you to have any previous qualifications for this part-time fashion and textiles course. However it is useful to have some level of general practical skill and above all else, you will need to be keen to try new things, and to learn about the creative possibilities within pattern cutting and making garments that can actually be worn.
