OOTI Structure

Osas Olumese Training Institute (OOTI) is an arm of Osas Olumese. It is a fashion school set out to equip students with sewing and pattern making skills in an efficient and effective way, fostering creativity, building individuals with knowledge and technical know-how needed to function in the Fashion industry.

The program is designed to prepare students for the Fashion Industry by equipping them with sewing and pattern making skills. It involves the student learning about the technical aspect of production. The curriculum stresses the importance of creativity, team work and effective communication in the garment production process. The best part of OOTI’s curriculum is that student would develop confidence in a short time, and have the knowledge to cut and sew.

The Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced courses are designed to lead students through the beginners stage to more advanced processes; giving students an all-round approach to garment making, and encouraging creativity.

Courses are suitable for anyone looking to gain technical skills and a valuable insight into both traditional and contemporary garment making techniques. The processes learnt can be applied to create innovative garments.

Classes may be taken individually (according to individual need) or as a series for a holistic approach.
