Helping you learn new skills and develop existing ones
The Fashion Retail Academy offers specialist fashion and retail courses with unparalleled industry involvement. We inspire future talent via curricula that is matched to current and future industry needs. We work with over 140 retailers and all apprentices receive industry-aligned projects and masterclasses. Since 2017, FRA has trained over 600 apprentices from levels 2-6.
We have now launched our bespoke apprenticeship arm, Education For Industry Training (EFIT), broadening our offer to include management, data science, travel, sustainability, and textile technology. EFIT works collaboratively across all sectors, not only fashion and retail, to enhance employers' apprenticeship offer for their staff and provide the best bespoke experience.
