The course teaches practical skills of both modern & traditional upholstery techniques & other critical thinking skills. Each stage may be studied separately dependant on the students previous experience & is verified externally.

Creativity & precision is key & your tutor will be sharing their passion for a truly creative & joyful learning experience. The stages are intensive courses where you will be learning a lot in a short space of time. The cohort is small, so quality tutoring can be delivered.
