HOW WE ASSIST FACULTY & SCHOOLS

Just this week we heard from two fashion college faculty members, at a top New York fashion school, whose teaching schedules changed at the last minute. University of Fashion to the rescue. One needed to brush up on her draping skills, the other on her drafting skills, so…they became UoF subscribers and called to thank us. Whew, that was close.

HOW SCHOOLS CAN SUBSCRIBE

If you are a teacher at a high school or college and would like your school to have a free 30-day all access trial, reach out to us by emailing us  [email protected] or by scanning the QR code above and filling out the form  Once your first time 30-day free trial is up, your school will be able to take advantage of our school/group subscription discount. It’s always cheaper by the dozen, right?

Another teacher at an LA fashion school needed to brush up on her retail math, merchandising and marketing skills and she too became a subscriber. Our business videos, in fact all of our videos, are taught by fashion college professors and industry professionals, so the information is top notch.

HOW WE HELP STUDENTS

We especially love helping design students and aspiring high school designers. For many it’s the first time they’ve had to calculate inches and centimeters, which is why our lesson entitled How to Read a Ruler is SO popular. When frustration sets in, because an instructor moves too fast during a demo causing the student to fall behind, we are here for them. In the privacy of their own home, students (and teachers) can watch and rewind a lesson until it sinks in. Whether it’s a sewing, draping, drawing or drafting lesson, we’ve got you covered. Oh, and did you know that we also answer any and all of your questions within 24 hours via our Customer Service link? At UoF, our instructors want you to succeed.

Alas! All University of Fashion paid subscribers can now receive a Certificate of Completion for any and all completed lessons and lectures. You can track your individual progress toward earning a certificate by clicking on the ‘My Learning’ tab on the left side of your ‘Account Page’ and you can even print them out.!

Why is earning a certificate important? In addition to learning something new and having proof of your hard work, you can also impress your teacher. You’ll be able to add your certificates to your portfolio alongside images of your work. And, by the way, the certificates are FREE!
