Short courses and In-company training

Textile training group

The aims of the textile training group are to support the training needs of the industry: be it manufacturing, industrial, technical or scientific on the one hand; and fashion, clothing and design on the other.

The group operates in a number of different modes and at different levels to cover diverse need. These are detailed in this brochure.

Academic courses in textile technology and science in the UK have dwindled over the years, thus leaving a huge knowledge gap in this industry.

This is where the textile training group fulfils the need by combining academic, industrial textile and business experts who can fill this knowledge gap.

Textiles are an immensely complex area and The University of Leeds, with its network of textile experts, has brought together a wide range of courses that will help to fill this need.

Short courses

Our large folio of courses is carried out on a repeating basis throughout the academic year. The wide range of courses offered is designed to provide training of from one to five days in duration depending on the subjects covered.

These are prepared courses, where the content for each course is detailed in this brochure.

In-company training

A number of companies prefer to commission in-house training programmes designed specifically for each client and held at either their own premises or their own selected venue. The benefits of this are:

cost effectiveness, especially where there is a need to train a number of employees at the same time

sensitive information remains confidential

course programme tailored to company
