Singer Fashion Academy introduces fashion designing programme
For many individuals a career in fashion design is a distant dream.
The ability to transform this dream into reality is now possible through the Singer Fashion Academy’s landmark new fashion designing programme.
Consisting of a structured three-part career progression, the programme includes a six-month Foundation Certificate, followed by a one-year Diploma and a final one-year Advanced Diploma.
Upon completion, students can join a university of their choice, completing their final year and graduating with a Degree in Fashion Designing.
Each stage offers a high quality programme with practical experience and skill development, intensive coursework and rigorous industry skills mastery covering all aspects, preparing students to embark on an exciting career.

In addition, the Singer Fashion Academy conducts classes at over 60 locations islandwide covering all major cities. Students interested in fashion design no longer need to travel to Colombo. Instead, they can follow classes at convenient venues close to their home town.
The in-depth curriculum for each stage has been especially curated, taking into account international and industry standards. The programme’s syllabus up to the Advanced Diploma stage is equivalent to the first two years of learning in a University programme under the UK curriculum.
Along with the curriculum, the programme’s practical aspects including interesting workshops conducted by industry experts, factory visits and dressmaking practicals will ensure students are exposed to all aspects of the industry.
A noteworthy feature of this unique programme is that it offers students an exit path at each level. The Certificate Level helps build entrepreneurial opportunities and students can realise their potential as a fashion designer.
At the Diploma stage, students can transform into a pattern maker joining the many industry opportunities available to them. Additionally, after completing the Advanced Diploma, a lucrative career as a pattern maker or even a fashion designer owning their own label are endless possibilities.
Singer Fashion Academy’s recent milestone achievement of validation status by UK’S Chartered Society of Designers will be applicable for the Foundation Certificate of Fashion Designing. Thus students who complete the Foundation stage will simultaneously receive the Singer Fashion Academy certificate and also credentials from the prestigious Chartered Society of Designers (CSD). Upon receiving the CSD Certificate, students can apply for Student Membership status from the Society with no application or joining fee required. CSD Student Membership also offers a host of benefits including credibility, networking, online portfolio, directory listing with a public profile, professional development, and up to-date news from the design industry.
Singer Fashion Academy students also gain access to digital content such as magazines, reports, advice columns, book reviews, portfolio galleries and much more. The ‘Burda Style’ fashion magazine of international repute is circulated and accessible for all students.
