(Mac - upgrade)

This course is being updated. As such, new enrolments will only be accepted into the new version which will be available shortly.

This course has been developed to offer Certificate IV in Applied Fashion Design & Technology LMT41007 graduates a streamlined upgrade to their existing qualification, and provide the skills required to establish a career in fashion design or turn their hobby into a small business.

Students who enrol in the upgrade course will study specific units designed to 'top up' their skills to diploma level. These units cover more advanced skills in areas such as concept development, marketing, fashion illustration and garment construction processes, and will enable the student to pursue senior pattern maker and similar positions within the fashion and clothing design industries. The course comes with a CD-ROM and workbook from Telestia, a global leader in learning materials for the fashion industry.

At the successful completion of their course, students will be awarded a nationally recognised Diploma of Applied Fashion Design & Technology LMT50307 under the LMT07 Textiles, Clothing & Footwear Training Package.
