FBI Courses - Fashion Business

Now is the time to start a Fashion career in Styling, Magazines, Buying, Events or Marketing and Publicity. With FBI Fashion Business Courses you can study all these areas and more.


  FBI offer part time classes that run evenings or daytimes or Saturdays. The opportunity to work full time and study is a reality with FBI.
FBI run Fashion Business Courses at both Certificate IV and Diploma levels, you can study up to 37 subjects depending on the level you wish to reach. These subjects run on a rotating schedule so you can attend according to your availability. To attend class, you just need to call up and book yourself in. Yes, it's that flexible! You must complete each class once as well as a homework assignment for every subject which is due one week after class is taken.
At your orientation for your Fashion Business Course you will receive a major assignment that is to be handed in before you graduate - this assignment encompasses all of the classes you have taken and brings together all you have learnt while studying Fashion Business.
 

Class Excursions into the Fashion Industry and Guest Speakers are included in every Course. Previous Guest Speakers include Alex Perry, Colette Garnsey, Kelvin Harries, Alice Mc Call, Belinda Seper, Jonathan Pease and Karin Upton Baker.

Part of every FBI Course is Workplace Training. Outstanding Students from Workplace Training are often chosen for Fashion Internships. Fashion Companies FBI deal with include
Channel 7, sass & bide, David Jones’ Ltd, Willow, Cleo, Harper’s Bazaar, Madison, Marie Claire, Karen, Zimmermann, Collette Dinnigan, Akira, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Jayson Brunsdon.
All of FBI’s teachers are involved in the Fashion Industry, either working in an interesting role or owning their own successful business. They give first hand information and examples to Fashion enthusiasts about the Fashion Industry. They can also give you one on one valuable advice you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. For closet designers you can study a combination of Fashion Design and Fashion Business. This is an excellent option for Fashionistas interested in Fashion Buying or Fashion Styling and especially for those who one day want to run their own successful Fashion business.

Guest Speakers
Fashion Business classes sometimes take a break to invite a Guest Speaker to give a talk. It’s an opportunity for Students to meet someone who is doing their dream job or has the experience and knowledge to inspire Students to follow that path.
