TSA – PPE Repair Workshop at FCFTA Leicester – 1st & 2nd Feb
FCFTA Leicester is delighted to be welcoming TSA (Technical Services Association) to a 2-day workshop.
This workshop has been created by Fashion-Enter and TSA to support the repair of PPE and workwear, in many cases some garments are too damaged to repair and there is a degree of wear and tear. This course will support learners to make decisions on if a garment is repairable and then how to carry out the repair.
Jackie said: “It’s great to be able to support TSA on this workshop. The class of 10 will be able to get hands-on repair practice along with talks from industry experts.”
