What our students say…
Below are some quotes from some of our Alumin students:
Nicole, 21, Creative Assistant @ Evans, former Level 2/3 student
“I love every minute of my time at the Fashion Retail Academy. It was an experience and a half. The tutors were great as were my fellow students. My time at the FRA has opened up so many doors for me and allowed me to build contacts with people that I other wise would not have been able to.”
Amy, 21, Fashion Pr Assistant @ Eskimo PR, former Level 3 student
“My time at the Academy was fun and exciting but always realistic. We were taught the real ins and outs of the industry and I really think that this helped me to network and uinderstand my aptitude for business.”
Francesca, 20, BAA @ Tesco, former Level 3 student
“The Academy was a perfect insight into the fashion retail industry and set me up for my dream career. I got my current position at Tesco’s through my work placement after keeping in contact with the HR dept while I finished my studies and now I am working I can build on the skills that I learnt at the FRA.”
Chris, 20, Visual Merchandiser @ Topshop, former Level 2/3 student
“The FRA was definitely beneficial to me. It was great fun but also an important stepping stone into my VM career. While at the Academy I learnt to network and this really built up my confidence. I realised over the two years that with focused dedication and hard work if you want something enough, you can definitely get it!”
Charlotte, 18, studying Fashion Buying @ Westminster University, former Level 2/3 student
“The FRA for me was a real laugh but also an eye opening experience. It really set the pace and prepared to continue to study Fashion Buying at university, I used my final major project in my interview and the lecturer was impressed by the knowledge that I already had.”
Martyn, 20, Sales Assistant @ Choice Retail, former Level 3 student
“The Fashion Retail Academy gave me a great understanding of the retail business that I apply in my job on a daily basis. It really helped me to get on the right track and get where I wanted to be!”
Sam. 19, MAA @ Wallis and former Level 2/3 student
“This was the best experience of my life. If I hadn’t of attended the FRA then I wouldn’t have got where I am today. I got my job through making a good impression on my work placement. My mentor remembered me and contacted me when I had graduated. The lessons really showed me what my job was about so I felt confident walking in on my first day and I am sure not a lot of people can say that.”
