city & guilds
We currently offer the following City & Guilds courses for 'on site' and 'distance learner' students, and current City & Guilds students who wish to transfer from another centre:
- City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Design and Stitched Textiles
- City & Guilds Level 2 Certificate in Machine Embroidery
- City & Guilds Level 3 Certificate in Design and Stitched Textiles
- City & Guilds Level 3 Diploma in Design and Stitched Textiles
In summer 2010 we are trialling the following courses for on site students only:
- City & Guilds Level 1 Certificate in Hand Stitch
- City & Guilds Level 1 Certificate in Machine Embroidery
- City & Guilds Level 1 Certificate in Goldwork
Course content is the same for all students, and all new students pay the same course fees. Fees for transferring students are assessed on a case by case basis, and are dependent on previously completed and assessed work.
on site students
These students will regularly attend classes and tutorials in our studios in Durham. STITCHBUSINESS accepts applications from new on site students throughout the year. Start dates for Level 1 courses are variable, but Level 2 and level 3 courses all start in September. (Students transferring from another centre may need to start mid-term, depending on individual City & Guilds registration expiry dates.)
distance learner students
These students will access our course programme via regular emails, phone calls, and occasional face to face tutorials wherever possible. Distance learners will need to send work to us through the post for assessment. (The costs for sending work to and from STITCHBUSINESS will be borne by the student.)
We accept applications from new distance learners throughout the year. Upon a successful application, start dates are variable for Level 1 courses, but all Level 2 and Level 3 courses, start in September.
Students transferring from another centre may need to start mid-term, depending on individual City & Guilds registration expiry dates.
transfer students
Students transferring from another centre will need to go through the same application process as all STITCHBUSINESS students. In your application please state your City & Guilds number and the number of your current centre. Applications are accepted throughout the year, and, upon a successful application, you are able to join our programme at a mutually agreeable time.
