At The Online Fashion Design Institute, we don’t just teach fashion design; we encourage every student to access and nurture their own natural sense of flair and creativity. We also teach the technical and practical skills necessary to translate those design ideas into reality. Our course is up-to-date and comprehensive, covering every aspect of fashion design
COURSE OUTLINE
The Online Fashion Design Course is delivered online, consisting of 12 comprehensive modules and 12 corresponding assignments. The course is designed to be self-paced. Normally you would expect to be dedicating, on average, about 4-6 hours per week for 24 weeks. However, many students take up to one year to complete their studies because of family or work commitments. Extensions can be purchased if extra time is required.
