A New Year, a New Beginning for You!!

By teaming up with Rose Sinclair and Pascal College FashionCapital can now announce a series of enterprise based fashion qualifications that can be held at the Workshop in north London Haringey and for those of you South of the River also at Beckenham in Kent too..

There will be a two day open day to assess the courses and for you to meet the tutors, moderators and assessors. You will then be able to also review the equipment that will be used on the course ranging from embroidery machines to over locking machines, Vetii Graph CADCAM in pattern making , Speed Step software and much more besides. What’s so important about these courses is that they are absolutely free for London based residents, though certain criteria does apply. On your behalf we can apply to the Learning and Skills Council for funding so this really is a new economically start to the new year.

So what do you learn on the course then? You are positively in for a treat! The course is designed so it integrates business with education. You can work on a modula at a time and there is not need to do each modual consectutively. You can take your time over which modules that you do and both venues offer a relaxed and friendly environment working with experts in the fashion industry. One of the main reasons why both FashionCapital and Pascal College selected OCR Qualifications was for its flexible approach and the individual modules are pertinent to the what the workforce needs today to secure employment.
