Fashion-Enter

Fashion-Enter operates its training primarily through the Fashion Technology Academy (FTA), a specialist apparel manufacturing training academy that runs alongside a live, audited garment factory and fashion studio. This setup allows apprentices and learners to gain hands-on experience of the full garment life cycle, including stitching, production, pattern cutting and quality control, while working towards accredited qualifications. FTA offers sector-specific fashion and textiles apprenticeships, including routes such as sewing machinist, garment maker, pattern cutter and fashion and textiles product technologist, delivered at different levels. Training typically combines on-the-job learning with one day a week released for off‑the‑job study, with units tailored to employer needs. In addition to apprenticeships, Fashion-Enter/FTA provides short courses and accredited programmes in stitching, pattern cutting, tailoring, production skills and CAD/CAM, plus ethical factory tours, masterclasses and seminars hosted within its UK manufacturing sites. The organisation supports employers of all sizes with apprenticeship recruitment, funding guidance and end-point assessment preparation, and works with a range of fashion brands to develop work-ready technical skills for the modern fashion and textiles industry.
