Six separate courses will provide a basic introduction to the subject and are intended for anyone just starting a career in the clothing industry whether this be at operative level; a new graduate from another discipline, or management level coming from another industry sector. 

Through a process of physical deconstruction of a garment delegates will take a journey around a simple item of clothing, stopping at each stage to discover the complex processes that have gone into producing it.

The curriculum has been developed with the financial support of CAPITB Trust, an independent charity providing support and funding for people employed or about to be employed in the British clothing industry. The courses are Approved by The Textile Institute, a system of validation assessed by independent and impartial experts.
