The
Fashion Retail Academy
Arcadia have also worked with the London
College of Fashion to produce an exciting and innovative new
learning experience: The Fashion Retail Academy. The Academy
opened in September 2005 in central London and is a training
ground for entrepreneurial talent, the ultimate aim to encourage
students to join established fashion retailers or to go on to
run their own businesses within the retail industry. Philip
Green said "The principal idea and concept for the Fashion
Retail Academy is to train and prepare the next generation of
young people for the work place by teaching and developing the
fundamental skills required in the Retail Industry".

The Fashion Retail
Academy aims to introduce students to all the practical and
vocational skills needed for the challenging and fast paced
world for fashion retail. Students have access to the state of
the art technology at The Academy and the vast resources within
the Arcadia Group to support their learning.
Students study full time for Level 2 or Level 3 Diplomas. Both
Diplomas offer flexible and rewarding programmes where hard work
and dedication are professionally recognised. In addition to
classroom study, students will undertake various work placements
throughout the course. |
Selection is based on enthusiasm and flair for fashion and the
fashion industry, rather than background or qualifications.
There is also a two-stage application:
-
Online application form
-
If accepted there will be a recruitment/open day in Central
London between April-August.
