You must be hard-working, creative and experimental in your outlook and approach. The course extends the study of GCSE Design Technology Textiles and allows students to develop specialisms and skills. The depth and breadth of study is designed to engage the student and guiding towards achieving unique, innovative and challenging coursework pieces. These can be collated into a portfolio suitable for submission to colleges and universities offering fashion, textiles and clothing related courses.
