I wanted to create my own shoes to solve a problem for myself and other women like myself. The best thing was the fact that it was condensed - it was only going to be about 13 weeks, so I could do it very easily. I love the staff: they've been really helpful, really encouraging, really supportive, and they really do take your viewpoints on board. I now have some real knowledge of what goes into making shoes.

The course is very comprehensive. There are so many different modules from identifying leather to pattern making. Going through the diploma was very good, in the sense that it gave me exposure to the entire process of making shoes. And through it, I discovered my own strengths and weaknesses - what I like to do and what are my challenges. As I was doing the diploma, I also took up some other courses here and there. I did one course on the retail merchandising side and business planning. Let's say you want to start up your own business. There are skills and real-life experiences you can learn from these courses.

I have taken two diplomas from here so far - Diploma in Apparel Design and Product Development & Diploma in Footwear Design and Product Development. The footwear teachers are from Italy, Japan, Singapore and Spain. The apparel teachers are from Singapore. All of them are very knowledgeable and patient. The teachers also teach at Arsutoria (for footwear) and one of my sewing teachers was a former student at Central Saint Martins. I like their openness and willingness to share and help students who have no experience and, like me, can't even sew, scared of the sewing machine and heavy-duty machines, to be able to actually sew a dress and make 4 pairs of footwear with my own hands at the end of it. So it is a big accomplishment for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed the footwear diploma programme, good content coverage for anyone with an interest to understand the Footwear Design business.
