Fashion design courses
When I started the course, we were sewing from day one, pattern making from day one. The practical skills start straight away.
Bachelor of Creative Industries showcase
At the moment it's probably the best time ever to be a student in TAFE Queensland because we now have the Fashion Centre of Excellence as part of our new facilities.
The teachers are really supportive. They would spend that extra time with me to help me in lunch breaks or even before class started.
Fashion precincts
Our fashion precincts offer you the opportunity to develop your skills in a collaborative environment using industry-standard tools and equipment. Gain the hands-on skills you need to succeed in the competitive fashion industry in our simulated workrooms and pattern-making studios.
