Full-Time |four weeks |six weeks
* Full-time available only for EU/EEA and visa-exempt students
The Handcraft Tailor Academy is now offering a full-time course spread over two blocks whilst still offering four- and six-week courses.
Students wishing to pursue a full-time course MUST choose two of three blocks.
The chosen blocks will depend on whether you are from a country that offers freedom of movement or if your country is visa-exempt.
Students coming from freedom of movement countries have the option to stay back-to-back, completing the entirety of The HTA courses from Tailoring Techniques to The Art & Science of Fitting Gentlemen's Garments in 22 weeks.
For visa-exempt students, we recommend applying for blocks 1 and 3 to avoid overstaying the tourist waiver.
*Students coming from countries that require a visa will only be able to apply for courses (whether for two weeks or a full course) from January to April
