Course Timescales

There is around 360 hours of course content/materials and it is usual for students to take between 6-8 weeks to complete each module. Students can take up to 2 years to complete the course, which allows students to work at their own pace. However, it is up to the individual student how quickly they wish to return work to their tutor for assessment.

A six-month contingency is available, if needed, to cover unforeseen issues such as illness, upon production of supporting documentation, which would therefore extend the course life to 30 months (2.5 years). The maximum for this extra contingency time is once during the course lifetime.

Aimed At

Our Skill Stage 3 accredited courses are aimed at students with some knowledge of either Patchwork and Quilting or Machine Embroidery. If you’re regularly completing projects using commercial patterns or kits and you have a fair, though not extensive understanding of different techniques, we’d categorise you as having more experience than a beginner.

If you’ve had an interest in Patchwork, textiles or machine embroidery for a while, attended a workshop or course and regularly read around your craft (magazines, books, articles) then you’re probably ready to take this more advanced courses. This is because our Skill Stage three courses are in-depth courses that require you to research, read and study your subject. We will obviously support you with tasks but some students may find this difficult without previous knowledge and experience of more formal education.

Our skill Stage 3 courses are also great for those with a business ambition. This intermediate Textiles course includes an entire module called professional practice, which is aimed at getting you business ready. We teach valuable industry skills to really give you that professional, competitive edge.
