WOMENSWEAR PATTERNMAKING

Our two-year course was created in response to the growing demand by companies within the sector, for clothes pattern-makers capable of working in a completely autonomous way, and who possess a high level of technical knowledge, and thus are able to face the ever-growing competitiveness of the fashion industry.
