Terrific online opportunity to learn or refresh fundamentals of creating fashion eg, design elements and principles; fabric characteristics and choices. Design of assignments helpful to consolidate skills however I would recommend to the module writers to clarify assignment instructions as they are vague and I have found discouraging feedback can be unhelpful. On the whole - good refresher.

Excellent Curriculum and Great Student Support
The Fashion Design Course has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Completing Module 10 feels like a major milestone, and the curriculum is both comprehensive and inspiring. The lessons are structured well, making complex design concepts accessible while still pushing for professional-level results.
I’ve particularly appreciated the depth of the portfolio guidance, which has been instrumental in helping me develop a cohesive aesthetic. The support from the team is excellent, and the incentive of a course extension shows they truly value their students' progress. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to refine their skills and take their passion for fashion to a professional level.

This is one of the best distance programs I’ve ever signed up for. It’s everything you need to get a good solid grasp on fashion design at an incredibly affordable price. Excellent value!
Katharine is my mentor and coach. She’s so great! It’s working with Katharine that’s inspiring me give the program the highest reviews. This is a fairly new subject to me—in particular the illustration modules. Her patience and support has removed my stress and replaced it with pure enjoyment. The information that the program provides is fantastic and it’s delivered in a way that I can refer back to as often as I need. I can see how it will lay a very solid foundation to build upon going forward. I happily give your program five stars. It’s a fantastic learning experience at an incredibly affordable price with a tutor(s) that helps integrate the skills in a deep way. I’m extremely happy I signed up for it. My only hope is that it doesn’t come to an end too fast, it’s that fun!

Effective self paced course for skill building
I joined the course last year and it offers well structured materials along with video lessons.The assignments help reinforce learning and keep us engaged with the content. While the course is mostly self paced and could be more interactive, it provides everything needed to learn effectively. With regular practice, it's truly a value for money course.
