Terrific course to refresh design and sewing skills. A big recommendation to others who wish to check out the fashion design world to decide whether it’s for them.

Noëlla K.
Only halfway through and I'm enjoying the course. I have always had an interest in fashion and I learned things from various sources. I wanted a course that offered structure while teaching different aspects of fashion and this one does just that. The instructor is available to answer questions and provide constructive criticism to the assignments which are both relevant and engaging. I find this course to be a great option for someone who is just being introduced to the world of fashion or to anyone wanting to put words to the skills/knowledge they may already possess. The only minor concerns I encountered were some links to articles no longer available or missing examples of things mentioned both in the readings and videos.

Hi, What made my experience interesting was the availability of the tutor, and the very well explained course notes and videos. This institute allows even very occupied workers to study at their pace and the tutor feedback is always very helpful. There are so many aspects of fashion design that are taught, which makes it is very interesting.

I joined the course last year and it offers well structured materials along with video lessons.The assignments help reinforce learning and keep us engaged with the content. While the course is mostly self paced and could be more interactive, it provides everything needed to learn effectively. With regular practice, it's truly a value for money course.

Some positives, some negatives but overall a good experience. I am about halfway through the online modules. So far, it's a bit basic, but I am hopeful that the second half of the modules will be more engaging as well as more hands-on and skill-building. I do really like and appreciate the way the modules are set up - Clear structure and ease for independent use. Hard to get responses when you need to speak to someone.
