Fashion Design & Cosmetology

Where creativity and style become a career

Step into the design studio, the salon and the exciting world of fashion and beauty. Since 1994, the Fashion & Cosmetology Department has been shaping skilled, confident professionals who design, tailor and style, from fashion designers, dressmakers and tailors to hair, makeup and nail artists.

OUR JOURNEY
It all began in 1994 with a Craft Course in Garment Making. In January 1997, we introduced a one-year Diploma in Clothing Technology, and by January 1998 it had grown into a three-year programme.
Then came our bold step into cosmetology. Building on our strong foundation in garment making, we expanded into the beauty industry, introducing training in hair, barbering, makeup, nail care and related beauty services. Interest soared, and today the Department offers a wide range of fashion and cosmetology programmes at Diploma, Certificate, Artisan and short-course levels.
In line with the new direction of technical training, our courses are designed around Competency-Based Education and Training (CBET). This competency-based approach ensures that every learner graduates with practical, job-ready skills that meet the needs of the fashion and beauty industry.
The Department boasts well-equipped fashion workshops and cosmetology workshops, where trainees train in real working environment through practical sessions in garment cutting and construction, fabric decoration, hair, barbering, makeup and nail care.
