Do I need any sewing experience?

Not for the Beginners' Diploma or the Weekend Class. The Advanced/Bridal class is for people who already sew, such as practising tailors and Beginners' graduates.

Where do classes hold?

In Apo Resettlement, Abuja. We'll send the exact address and directions when your place is confirmed.

How do I secure a place?

Reserve on WhatsApp. Your admission is confirmed when you pay at least 60% of the fee, and the balance is due by the sixth week.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Certification needs at least 80% attendance and all your practical work submitted. Every practical is marked, and there is a final practical examination and portfolio review.

What do I need to bring?

Classes are mostly practical, so you provide the fabric and materials for your practice and projects. Beginners' and Weekend trainees also buy a starter kit.

Is accommodation available?

We are arranging supervised accommodation for female trainees coming from outside Abuja. Ask about availability when you reserve.

Yes. Our classes are open to everyone, and we welcomed our first male student in 2022.

What if I need to withdraw?

Refunds are possible only within the first four weeks, less 30% of the fee and a ₦20,000 administrative charge.
