Level 4 Fashion Retail (with Marketing)
My course helped me decide the career path I wanted to take. They send out regular emails with new job and internship opportunities, and I landed a great internship which boosted my CV. I am now talking to a digital marketing company about a potential job offer! It has been an incredible experience and I couldn’t recommend the Fashion Retail Academy enough.
