Training provided by the Fashion Technology department specialises in technical skills and knowledge in both the creative and practical areas. Students will learn design and product development processes using the Adobe Master Suite - skills much valued by employers in the Australian fashion industry. Training also provides 'hands-on' learning and allows for creative expression to develop however

as our industry demands commercially viable products graduates finish their training with a sound knowledge of designs that will sell. The Diploma & Advanced Diploma focuses on design & development of fashion
concepts after thorough research into the target market needs. Students develop a good understanding of both manual & digital patternmaking procedures as well as pattern grading (sizing), fitting and garment construction. The principles and techniques of block construction, figure and size
analysis, patternmaking and garment cutting and construction are the key
to successful garment design and development. Depending on the electives selected, areas covered include textile fibre
and fabric identification and analysis of their characteristics, fabric
manipulation to achieve creative effects, identifying design influences,
sketching, fashion illustration, and applying design elements and
principles to fashion concept development, developing product
specifications, development of the fashion designs through patternmaking,
pattern draping, grading and advanced construction techniques for complex
garments, lingerie and swimwear design, block construction using sizing
systems, analysing garment fit, calculating costs and communicating and
selling design concepts, using computer technology and specialist fashion
computer software for fashion industry applications. The training environment will simulate what it is like to work in the
fashion industry, and how to work safely to produce quality product
outcomes. Industry-linkage work placement with a host fashion company is included in
the course. Career Opportunities
Graduates from this qualification are well placed to gain employment within the
fashion industry as assistant designers, product developers, assistant
patternmakers and graders, CAD operators, specification technicians, fashion
prototype developers, assistant production managers, assistant supply chain
managers, assistant brand managers, and fashion merchandisers.
