Learning The learning zone is here to support and advise those that want to establish a career in the fashion industry, whether at school, post-graduate or graduate level. There is information on the finest courses from UK based HE/FE colleges and universities; information on placements, workshops and career advice; and an exclusive look at Fashion Enter's highly successful Delivery Day initiative.
Workshops/Seminars You can’t afford to make mistakes in fashion. One of the hardest elements of being a fashion designer and producing collections is the enormous on-costs before you start selling and making your fortune! Collections have to be researched; fabric sampled and purchased; toiles created; sample garments made then, once approved, you need your first size 12 fitted and the pattern graded. That’s all before you even start selling and earning money! That’s why we created a new styled workshop and mentoring sessions entitled Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT).
Based on industry experience that combines high street retailers such as Littlewoods, M&S, Principles for Women plus working with UK and overseas manufacturers FashionCapital, in association with their sister company Fashion Enter Ltd, have devised a booklet of information that provides quality advice to ensure mistakes are minimized and provides literature to make you look professional with your suppliers.
GIRFT also combines best working practices into education too at all levels including secondary schools, FE and HE. These workshops and seminars have been primarily funded by EQUAL and our grateful thanks to Justine Wright and Christopher Lee.

FE & HE fashion courses There are many ways to start your own business in fashion with many deciding to enter via Higher Education and Further Education. Higher education (often abbreviated "HE") is education provided by universities, vocational universities such as liberal arts colleges, community colleges, and technical colleges and other collegial institutions that award academic degrees, such as career colleges. Further education (often abbreviated "FE") is post-secondary, post-compulsory education (in addition to that received at secondary school). It may be at the same level, at a higher level, or at a lower level than secondary education, anything from basic training to Higher National and Foundation Degree. Here we review a cross section of educational establishments that offer a wide range of fashion related courses.
