These courses will teach you the sewing skills you need to make your own clothes to a high standard. Classes focus on threading and using a sewing machine, identifying types of paper patterns and suitable fabric, reading a paper pattern, laying, pinning and cutting out fabric, completing sample seams and hand sewn finishes. The aim is to understand how to make a simple garment and, depending on your ability, you may be able to complete a garment of your own during the course.
Hospitality Supervision & Leadership - Level 3 Diploma
Jerome says: "I chose to study at Merton College because it has excellent facilities for my Hospitality & Catering course. The College is very welcoming and my tutors are very supportive. As part of my course, I deliver a service to customers that visit the Taste Restaurant and I really enjoy interacting with them. We regularly host events and I like working as a team to co-ordinate these events. For example, we are often visited by members of the local community who come to the restaurant for lunch."
Once Jerome has completed his Diploma, he intends to study a Higher Level Apprenticeship in Hospitality and work for a major restaurant chain. His ultimate goal is to own a chain of restaurants one day.
