“Footwear design is quite a niche course which almost no other fashion schools in Singapore has to offer, except for maybe Arsutoria in Italy — which is also a partner of TaF.tc.

These courses have greatly enhanced my knowledge and skills in the fashion and footwear industry. We get to learn how to create patterns from the shoe last, sketching different types of designs like pumps, derbies, oxfords and sneakers. We also get to construct a shoe from scratch by cutting the leathers, lasting and cementing the outsole.

The trainers are really experienced and helpful, and imparted their knowledge to us.”

“Being a mother of 3 growing boys, commitment was a challenge. I was looking for short professional fashion and sewing courses. The Diploma programme only runs for 4 months and the generous course subsidies were too attractive to pass up on. And so, I enrolled myself on the spot.

I love the school’s environment! I really enjoyed going to school every day. I also love the instructors at TaF.tc. They are extremely skilled and patient, with the passion to go the extra mile to teach what’s beyond the syllabus. It provides a platform for us to be exposed to the fashion industry and get a good hands-on experience.”

“Industry professionals as your guiding light, how much better can it get?

I took the Diploma in Fashion Business and there are a number of modules in there that helped me navigate certain complexities when I am faced with challenges (which is aplenty, I can assure you). Understanding patterns, costing and production management was crucial for me.

Respect what the courses have to offer and you will be rewarded in spades.”
