The 15-hour course will provide learners with the skills required for today’s fashion production workplace and is led by Ben Cooper, an industry experienced tutor.
Previous Gerber learner Emily said: “I used to work as a tailor in E.Tautz and Ozwald Boateng on Savile Row and now I am working as a freelance Pattern Cutter for Simone Rocha. I see more industries require CAD pattern cutters than manual pattern cutters, so I realised I needed to learn these new techniques.”
