This course is the first year of an 18 unit (180 credits) studied over two years just like an A level programme. Year one (Subsidiary) consists of a 90 credit programme. After year one, most students will enrol onto the second year and complete a full BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma ensuring progression to university level courses, higher apprenticeships or employment.

You will also learn how to present and visualise your ideas using Photoshop to give you up to date knowledge and understanding within the work place. The first half of the course will provide you with basic skills and students will study a variety of approaches to the fashion industry. In the second half of the course the learner will concentrate on building an online presence, fashion portfolio and producing an independent showcase piece. On successful completion of this course you will have essential key skills in self-management, communication, promotion and customer awareness.
