Ok, so maybe a bit of an unusual post... I have 2 questions.
1. Did anyone here take any sort of textiles/fashion/sewing course in their GCSE or A-Levels (Or other High School Sewing classes)? If so, what sort of things did you learn?
2. If you wanted to be able to teach said courses, what diploma or other certification in sewing/textiles/fashion would you recommend? (Preferably not a long 3+ year degree, maybe a 1 year qualification of sorts?).
For context, I am already a QTS teacher with 15 years+ experience. However, I am qualified/experienced teaching Music and English Lit. I've been sewing my whole life and I started a sewing club in my school last year, and the kids loved it (mostly KS3 students), and so did I. I thought, maybe this is something worth getting some formal education so I can actually teach courses? I teach abroad in International schools so I'm not worried about strict rules to teach it, but want to get the actual skills/background to be confident and set my students up for success.
Last question.... if I took some sort of programme based on your recommendations, where might you recommend studying in the EU but taught in English?
