FACILITATORS
COURSE DURATION
SUSTAINABILITY
To ensure sustainability once training has been completed, learners are issued with stationary, material and machines. Learners get to keep all of the stationary, equipment and a sewing machine, to ensure that they have tools to continue practicing their skills. We strongly believe that it is of little use developing the skills without them having the tools to further experiment and gain experience in their newly taught skills.
