Overview

Intro

The curriculum we’ve developed for you at the Fashion Retail Academy is fully accredited by ABC Awards, one of the UK’s largest vocational awarding organisations, and the University of the Arts (London) London College of Fashion for it’s Foundation degree. We offer courses, each with rewarding programmes where your hard work and dedication will be professionally recognised.
As well as your classroom studies, each course involves work placement where you’ll gain valuable experience. Students undergo their studies through a blend of work based learning including:

• Inspirational master classes and lectures by highly regarded industry leaders, including Sir Philip Green (Arcadia) & Sir Stuart Rose (M&S)

• In-store experience

As a student, you’ll be expected to study Monday to Friday. High levels of punctuality and attendance will always be expected. Hours of work may vary during the work placements but we will make sure that you receive advanced notice of times and locations. Approaches to work placements differ depending on which course you study, forming a vital part of the learning process. They are grouped in appropriate blocks of time, according to the particular units of study and take into account retail trading patterns.
