My experience in SLITA (former CITI) as a Diploma student was blissfully intense and a delightful revelation to the apparel industry. The course structure and content were very comprehensive, practical and applicable. I found the lecturers/facilitators to be highly knowledgeable and accommodating. One fond memory I still carry to date is of our final project where we had the opportunity to work on our very own fashion show. SLITA is a great choice for any person looking to learn the nooks of the ever-evolving apparel world.
