Our training programs
We offer a range of courses to suit all objectives:
Fashion design (2 years)
This comprehensive program provides a solid entry into the world of clothing design.
Students learn the basics of professional sewing, patternmaking and assembly techniques, as well as how to make a variety of pieces: dresses, skirts, blouses, suits, pants, etc.
At the end of the program, a certificate is awarded attesting to the level of stylist/model maker/seamstress.
This advanced course is designed for those who already have technical skills and wish to reach a higher level of expertise.
It focuses on the creation of exceptional garments – evening gowns, wedding outfits, made-to-measure pieces – and on the mastery of noble materials and meticulous finishing.
A specialized certificate is awarded at the end of the course.
For those who wish to progress without following a full program, the school offers independent modules:
- basic and advanced sewing
- patternmaking
- Fashion design
- guided creative projects
These workshops allow you to learn at your own pace, according to your needs.
