HAVE MORE QUESTIONS?

  • Who should take these courses?

    We've created these online courses for aspiring fashion designers, sewing/design hobbyists, and dabblers looking to gain some new skills. We offer courses for all levels and welcome beginners to our community.

  • What tools/equipment do I need?

    We recommend that students have a tablet, laptop, or desktop computer, as well as a smart phone to upload photos of their weekly classwork and homework assignments. Additional course specific supply lists will be provided with each course.

  • What will my schedule look like for the certificate courses?

    Our certificate courses will have a weekly drip schedule that will release that week's lessons, classwork submission prompts, and homework submission prompts. Students will then have access to weekly live office hours via Google Hangouts to speak with their instructor for questions and real-time feedback. Students will be expected to submit their assignments by midnight the evening before the next lesson release. We do not have live sessions on US holidays. You will be given a calendar upon enrollment to check the available dates and times.

  • What will my schedule look like for hobbyist projects and workshops?

    Once you purchase our online workshops and hobbyist projects, your schedule is your own. You will not receive a grade, so you can complete each project at your leisure.

  • Will I receive a grade for taking a course?

    Only students taking our Certificate Courses will receive grades. Passing grades will count towards Made Institute's Designer Development Program.

  • Is Made Institute a real school?

    Yes! We are licensed by the PA Dept. of Education. Our curriculum has been scrutinized and approved by the state to ensure our students are getting a quality education.

  • Does Made Institute offer a degree?

    No. While we are licensed as a Privately Licensed School, Made Institute is not accredited. We have found that many of our students are not looking for a degree, but rather an expedited education that will get them closer to their fashion design goals more quickly. Upon completion of the Certificate Courses, students will receive a Certificate of Completion that can be mailed to students upon request.

  • How long will I have access to the course materials?

    Our Certificate Courses have an enrollment period, check the DRIP SCHEDULE at the top of this page. Our hobbyist projects and workshops will be available as long as the student membership is active.
