We offer some really nifty combo packages.
These are combinations of courses tailor-made specifically to equip the attendee with a host of different skills, in a short, intense learning experience and in as short as possible period of time. This works perfectly for those individuals who already have a career or who have just left school and wish to immerse themselves in an environment that nurtures creativity and gives them exposure to the various activities surrounding the making of garments and creation of fashion - whatever form that takes.
All our combo courses are listed under the Combos page on the e-shoppe.
