Thinking of a professional, fulfilling and AI-proof career in bespoke tailoring, stage/film production or high end fashion design? Are you looking for an alternative to university study, a pathway that equips you with a solid practical skill set?   

The Level 5 Diploma in Bespoke Tailoring is a regulated qualification offering a modern day alternative to the traditional apprenticeship. Developed by the Savile Row Bespoke Association, the year-long full-time programme offers academic study paired with a strong focus on practical skills delivery, at the highest level in the UK. The full skill set is delivered in a structured curriculum, in just one year. Uniquely, we teach the sought-after skills for both, the male and female figure type.

Our graduates are highly sought after and regularly compete in the finals of the prestigious Golden Shears Awards. The programme is hugely popular with candidates from around the world and, following accreditation by the British Accreditation Council, it is now also accessible for international students. 

Come and visit our studio for Open Day on Sat 21 November, meet students and tutors, get an overview of the programme and learn about funding options. Our 2025/26 graduate Lucy Ackers will be attending for a Q&A about her experience on the course and launching her bespoke tailoring career straight out school. And if you fancy a little practice right there and then, you are invited to take part in our mini-workshop, where we teach you to stitch a hand buttonhole!
