Prepping For 2017

-


How time flies…
I was just going through the blog post we put during the year, and it got me thinking…

We have grown as an institute, and we have been privileged to impart our knowledge to individuals who keep inspiring us to do more.

As we make plans for 2017. We are re-strategizing for effectiveness, and below are some of the things we would be doing
  • We are re-introducing our evening courses
  • Ankara Bags and accessory course
  • We would be doing something fun for young adult in secondary schools (Fashion club)
  • Yes…summer course during the long Holiday
  • We are keeping our fingers crossed for our partnership with NYSC (Corpers, get in here!)
  • Not forgetting our Saturday classes
  • And our normal day classes

There is something available for everyone…so no excuse whatsoever, why you would not to realize your dream of learning how to sew and draft patterns in 2017.

We are changing the way we run our courses.

Each course would run for four (4) weeks, four times weekly (you can achieve your dream before mid-2017 WOW). In order to maximize the available space, two courses would run almost concurrently, with one running between the hours of 9:00am and 1:30pm (Tuesdays to Fridays), while the other would run between the hours of 11:00am and 3:30pm (Mondays to Thursdays). With evening classes running between the hours of 4:00pm and 7:00pm (Mondays to Fridays).

Students can come with their electric machine to school, and we would provide you with light and a table for setting up.

NOTE: A new Basic Sewing and Pattern Making course starts in on Monday, 9th January 2017. Registration has begun; all you need do is make payment and fill out the registration form.

I hope that is not too much for a beginner. Ok let me take it one step at a time. Free hand cutting, I believe a large number of us would be aware of it, but we might not know its name.
