If you’re passionate about fashion, this future-focused, design-led course from JCA will help prepare you for an entrepreneurial career in the global couture fashion and accessories industry.

Founded by iconic designer Jimmy Choo, after identifying a lack of focused, professional luxury brand training for students, the JCA is run by fashion professionals and has been created exclusively for talented individuals serious about a career in luxury fashion.

As well as teaching about fashion design, the Academy will equip you with the tools needed to establish yourself as fashion freelancers and micro-SMEs and to manage your business successfully.

For those who’ve got what it takes, the JCA is key to a dynamic and successful career in haute couture, taking students seamlessly from education to vocation.

You will likely want to establish your own enterprise or to join a larger company with the key transferable skills the industry so desperately demands.

You are likely to find careers within large fashion companies that carry garment and accessory lines or specialist careers within the accessory design fields of bag and luggage design, footwear, sports and many other sectors.

This practice-based programme is grounded on entrepreneurship. To support this, you will be encouraged to find and undertake a professional internship that provides context and reflection into a single, applied learner experience.

• fashion designer
