Starting from 2021, all our courses can be attended both in-class and remotely

How our courses changed with Covid-19
In light of the current world situation due to the spread of Covid-19, we are proud to have structured our teaching with a mixed system of classes online and in presence. A real revolution in the footwear and bags sector that will allow Italian and international students to attend lessons, both practical and theoretical.
The three pillars of our training remain the same as always:
Teacher lessons
In-class lessons integrated with video lessons. All the didactic contents have been prepared with the same care, the same insights and advice of a classical classroom lesson.
Individual work
“Learning by doing” has always been at the center of our training. Even with the addition of an online teaching component, the “doing” experience will still be ensured for all students. We will send you all the necessary material to work from home. The teachers will assign tasks and projects to evaluate the real understanding of each topic.
Review with the teacher
Teachers will spend 100% of their time reviewing your individual work and giving you feedback and suggestions on how to improve it. This is the key moment of the course.

Training in footwear factories
Frequentemente si legge nelle dichiarazioni degli imprenditori calzaturieri: “non ci sono più le orlatrici, mancano i tagliatori per i materiali pregiati, è impossibile trovare un premontatore o un modellista”. Il messaggio che sempre più spesso ci arriva da chi gestisce le fabbriche dove si fa il “made in Italy” è che mancano le figure tecniche specializzate che si occupino della produzione delle scarpe.
Cerchiamo allora di capire meglio come stanno le cose.
