As a Fashion Design School in Kenya, we believe in providing a modern alternative to traditional education. We have implemented hybrid learning; combining the flexibility of digital education with intensive industry-based learning.

50% Industry Learning: Our fashion design training takes place within the Textile Industry as opposed to the traditional classroom setup. We have partnered with tailoring shops within Nairobi CBD to hold our practical fashion trainings within their premises. This "Industry-as-a-Classroom" approach ensures our students gain real-world technical skills, employability skills and a deeper understanding of the textile and apparel sector of Kenya.

50% Online Learning: This has proven to be exceptionally convenient and as effective as in-person trainings. Online fashion design training is now easily accessible to creatives across the region. Through a Learning Management System, we can now provide 24/7 access to training resources, increase engagement and track progress.
