This was my first time. The best parts were when we went on excursions because it really gave us a chance to bond all together outside the college. It felt like we became a family. I would recommend the course to any of my friends looking for a summer camp! The counsellors were all so nice, the lessons were interesting where you learn a lot of new vocabulary.

I made a lot of new friends with whom I am still in contact with today. Not to mention the very interesting and innovative lessons with lots to learn and great opportunities to excel.

Destination

New York

New York City is the most populous city in the United States, with an estimated 2018 population of 8 million. New York is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. A global power city, New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, and exerts a significant impact upon commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports.

Programme Details

Lessons

The Young Professionals syllabus combines three core components: classroom theory lessons, practical workshops, and ‘Study-in-Action’ days that comprise visits to locations related to a student’s chosen subject. Students enhance their knowledge of the main elements of fashion design from colour to form.

The course is best for students who are wishing to pursue a career in the clothing, retail or manufacturing field. The New York Fashion course develops their knowledge in areas of design, marketing, history and creative thinking. Sample topics covered:

Subject Theory:

Use of fabrics & style
Application of colour
Origin, properties and production of fibres
Methods of manufacture
Characteristics of material
Influences in modern fashion

Practical Sessions:

Clothing fitting and assembly
Stitching & embellishment

Group Work:

The Climate Catwalk Exhibition: Environmentally friendly fashion

Activities

One parts of the ‘Off-site activities’ is ‘study-in-action days’. Study-in-action days have a larger academic element, as students visit destinations within that provide real- life experiences relating to their chosen subject area. Sample of the ‘study-in-action days’:

Metropolitan Museum of Art- Teen Studio

Unleash your creativity and experiment with materials in unexpected ways during an art-making workshop in the gallery. Students get inspired by the collections before having the opportunity to produce their own interpretation.

Excursions

One parts of the ‘Off-site activities’ is ‘Excursions’. Excursions are a relaxed way for students to visit famous landmarks and attractions with the whole group. Sample excursion destinations:

Philadelphia (Week 1 & 4)

Visit the city that played an instrumental role in the American Revolution as a meeting place for the Founding Fathers of the United States. Sights include the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, as well as other historic sights.

Six Flags Adventure Park (Week 2)

A thrill filled day riding over 50 attractions to fill your day with at Six Flags Adventure Park. A great opportunity to let loose and have a great day in this adventure park!

Long Beach Island (Week 3)

A lovely beach town known for its long paradise beaches. Founded in 1690, Long Beach Island offers not only beautiful beaches, but quaint American towns and also a delightful “American” amusement park on the seafront.

Accommodation

Accommodation is located a 5 minute walk away, in the pedestrianised zone of Wall Street. Each day, students will walk past iconic locations such as the New York Stock Exchange and Federal Hall. Students live in high-quality twin bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom, mini-kitchen and access to the concierge service. Separate male & female accommodation. A personal laundry delivery service is available free-of-charge.

English Level Requirement : CEFR and Language Assessment

The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: learning, teaching, assessment, (CEFR), was created by the Council of Europe to be a language standard that describes the ability of English language learners in speaking, reading, writing and listening and measures learners’ learning outcomes at different stages.

This standard is widely recognised and used by educational institutions, enterprises and governments around the world and provides general guidance for the development of language syllabuses, curriculum and textbook design, language testing, etc.

Additionally, many internationally recognised English language tests, such as IELTS and Aptis, are associated with this standard as a reference for test score grading. In describing a language learner’s ability, in terms of speaking, reading, listening and writing, CEFR is broadly categorised into the Levels below:

English Level	Category	At this level you can understand:
A1	Beginner	Can understand and use familiar everyday expressions and very basic phrases aimed at the satisfaction of needs of a concrete type. Can introduce him/herself and others and can ask and answer questions about personal details such as where he/she lives, people he/she knows and things he/she has. Can interact in a simple way provided the other person talks slowly and clearly and is prepared to help.
A2	Elementary	Can understand sentences and frequently used expressions related to areas of most immediate relevance (e.g. very basic personal and family information, shopping, local geography, employment). Can communicate in simple and routine tasks requiring a simple and direct exchange of information on familiar and routine matters. Can describe in simple terms aspects of his/her background, immediate environment and matters in areas of immediate need.
B1	Intermediate	Can understand the main points of clear standard input on familiar matters regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. Can deal with most situations likely to arise whilst travelling in an area where the language is spoken. Can produce simple connected text on topics which are familiar or of personal interest. Can describe experiences and events, dreams, hopes & ambitions and briefly give reasons and explanations for opinions and plans.
B2	Upper Intermediate	Can understand the main ideas of complex text on both concrete and abstract topics, including technical discussions in his/her field of specialisation. Can interact with a degree of fluency and spontaneity that makes regular interaction with native speakers quite possible without strain for either party. Can produce clear, detailed text on a wide range of subjects and explain a viewpoint on a topical issue giving the advantages and disadvantages of various options.
C1	Advanced	Can understand a wide range of demanding, longer texts, and recognise implicit meaning. Can express him/herself fluently and spontaneously without much obvious searching for expressions. Can use language flexibly and effectively for social, academic and professional purposes. Can produce clear, well-structured, detailed text on complex subjects, showing controlled use of organisational patterns, connectors and cohesive devices.
C2	Proficient	Can understand with ease virtually everything heard or read. Can summarise information from different spoken and written sources, reconstructing arguments and accounts in a coherent presentation. Can express him/herself spontaneously, very fluently and precisely, differentiating finer shades of meaning even in more complex situations.
