The Textile Institute has launched a new series of Short Courses under the umbrella title of Introduction to Clothing.

11th June 2015

Knitting Industry
 | 

Knitwear, Sports/​Activewear, Technical Textiles

Six separate courses will provide a basic introduction to the subject and are intended for anyone just starting a career in the clothing industry whether this be at operative level; a new graduate from another discipline, or management level coming from another industry sector. 

The taught element of this module will include a significant amount of hands-on practical work allowing delegates to leave with a reasonable understanding of fabric construction and characteristics. 

The curriculum has been developed with the financial support of CAPITB Trust, an independent charity providing support and funding for people employed or about to be employed in the British clothing industry. The courses are Approved by The Textile Institute, a system of validation assessed by independent and impartial experts.
