What Osas
Olumese Training Institute ( OOTI) about?
Osas
Olumese Training Institute is a Fashion School, that teaches the creative, the
sewing as well as the business sides of fashion for those who would like to
start a fashion business.
The training is spread into 3 levels and
each level has 2 terms. Payment for the Course is per term and everyone
begins from Basic, regardless of the level of skill. Each term is a
pre-requisite to the next term and students move on to subsequent terms after
the successful completion of the previous term.
What We Teach:
The Course is predominantly a practical course so
it teaches pattern drafting and garment construction. However, there is
another aspect of the Course which teaches the Business side of fashion
Students are taught vital principles through
lectures and assignments that will enable them think as for themselves, make
their own decisions, and learn as they move up the terms from their
experiences.
We expect that from the end of the first term,
students begin to utilize the knowledge gained at the end of each term, test
the principles taught from Basic, sew for people, learn from their practical
experiences, charge appropriately for their work and most of all, learn how to
deal with their clients professionally without shortchanging themselves.
At the end of the Course, students would have
learnt enough about the process right from concept to completion to enable them
put their knowledge to practice, even if on a small scale and build their businesses
from there.
How Long Does It Take?
The duration of the Course will depend on the
option chosen by the student.
There is a weekend option (Saturdays only for
full-time workers) and a weekday option (Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday) for those with
a more flexible schedule.
For the weekend option, Basic will run for 4
months (excluding breaks) and classes are on Saturdays only, from 11:30am to
3:30pm. The same is applicable to the other Terms (excluding breaks, if
any).
For the weekday option, classes will run thrice
a week; in which case students will be done in half the time. Students
may also choose to come on a Saturday if they wish to complete their tasks and
the term in a shorter period.
I know absolutely nothing about sewing. Can
I still register?
Of course. The training was developed
specifically for beginners.
I can already sew and would consider myself quite
experienced. Can I start from a more advanced term?
No unfortunately... everyone begins from Basic.
Since we teach a lot more than just how to sew, many topics which would
have been treated in previous terms would seem strange to you in the more
advanced terms and we would be unable to backtrack. You will struggle in
the more advanced terms as the knowledge gained in one term is required for the
next term.
I don't think sewing is for me. Do I still
need the Foundation Course?
Well... you don't have to learn how to sew to run
a fashion business but it is important to understand the process so you can
guide your production team. So I would advise you register for the Basic Course
until you are confident you have learnt enough.
Do you run full-time courses?
No. We believe students need time to
complete their assignments and also time for self-study and research. Besides, time away from class can be sent practicing what you have learnt
in each term on people and charging for your services. If you use this
time wisely, you should be able to make the money you spent on registering for
the Course back in no time.
How Much Does the Foundation Course cost?
Each term costs N25,000. The fees for Basic
are inclusive of for your toolkit.
Can I get a discount?
We really wish but the fees for the Course are
fixed. In fact, they are so priced due to shared costs.
How do I register for it?
