International Network
TaF.tc’s global partnership with sourcing agents and offices, garment manufacturers, fabric mills and testing labs places them in an advantageous position of constantly being updated with the latest developments in the industry, and supports TaF.tc’s vision to always be at the forefront of the textile and fashion industry, and provide quality training that is highly relevant to industry players.
TaF.tc’s in depth knowledge of pre-production processes within the fashion industry enables factories to move up the supply chain through capacity development in Merchandising, Design and Product Development.

Local Expertise
Closer to home, TaF.tc works with several of Singapore’s retail organizations in raising standards of professionalism through its wide variety of custom-designed courses, including Customer Services, Visual Merchandising, Retail Buying, Fashion Knowledge and Fabric Care.
Industry Innovators
As a visionary institution, we are always looking at addressing the needs and interests of the industry, especially so in the developing countries. In 2006, the TaF.tc Design Centre was launched, offering an array of design services, such as sampling, production of technical drawings, and deployment of designers with companies planning on setting up design and product development departments. Another recent initiative includes the Virtual Garment Centre, which promotes the ability of factories to develop accurate samples within a shorter time frame through the adoption of the virtual fit technology.
Recognising no national boundaries, we are constantly expanding our training network, with operations now in Malaysia, Cambodia, Vietnam, India, Taiwan, Laos, Indonesia, Mauritius, and Romania.
