This hands-on course teaches garment production and fashion design, while building confidence, creativity, and transferable skills.
Learners work at their own pace, supported by qualified assessors, and leave with a recognised qualification and a portfolio of work they’re proud of.
This course prioritises those furthest from learning; young parents; those with mental health challenges; those from a care experienced background; school refusers; school non-attenders; and young people (under 25) with a passion for fashion.
There are 5 units:
Portfolio
All the things practiced, drawn, designed form part of each learner’s portfolio.
Journal
Learners are required to reflect on their progress by keeping a journal, which is completed at the end of each session.
Presentation
Each learner will give a short presentation at the end of the course giving a brief overview of what they learned from the course.

Priority is given to individuals furthest away from learning.
Formative Assessment using direct assessment methods are employed to assess the knowledge and competence of learners. This includes observation and questioning.
