How You’ll Learn

Our Diploma program follows a structured master curriculum, tailored in consultation with each student to ensure learning is aligned with individual skill level, goals and availability.

Programs are self-paced and flexible, allowing students to study full-time or part-time and progress at a speed that suits them while receiving the appropriate level of guidance and support. Teaching is delivered face-to-face in a professional studio environment, with a strong emphasis on practical, hands-on learning.

Class sizes are kept small to support personalised instruction, with a maximum of 10 students per teacher for practical classes and 15 students per teacher for theory-based sessions.

The Diploma is typically completed over two years (eight terms) when studying three days per week. Part-time study is available, and the overall duration may vary depending on individual pace, availability and project choices. Students undertaking more complex or couture-focused work may allow additional time to complete the program.

Fees & Bookings

The total program cost is approximately $Y, depending on study pace and unit selection. Fees are paid per term, allowing flexibility in how students progress through the course rather than requiring payment of the full amount upfront.

Term fees are payable in two instalments, with 50% due on enrolment and the remaining balance payable six weeks into the term.

Please note that textbooks, tools and fabric are charged separately. A full breakdown of units, fees and payment structure is included in our Info Pack.
