Progression

Skills you learn on this course can be used to find work in the fashion and textiles sector in jobs such as Pattern Cutters, Sewing Machinists or designers.Many people with these levels of skill start their own business in areas such as alterations, wedding dresses, bespoke manufacture, or tailoring. Some students look to further study in fashion, including degree courses or HNDs.

Assessment

The course is entirely practical and technical, and you will be assessed through the completion of a series of more advanced garment design and construction tasks set by an experienced tutor. Although challenging, you will receive clear step by step support in developing a more diverse portfolio of practical work that will showcase your more advanced fashion and textiles skills.

We would normally expect students to have completed the Level 2 Certificate in Fashion and Textiles.
