CAD for Fashion Design – Apparel

FIT is not currently accepting new students into the CAD for Fashion Design-Apparel Certificate Program.

The apparel track in the CAD for Fashion Design Certificate Program is intended primarily for those students who need to enhance their computer skills but do not wish to enroll in a full time degree program. Graduates of this program will be trained to become highly skilled in the use of apparel related CAD software.

The program consists of four sequential courses in Computer Aided Design with an option to focus on either the Lectra or AccuMark platform. Students entering the program must possess basic patternmaking and basic drawing skills, along with a general understanding of computers.

The purpose of the program is to provide designers with a broad understanding of CAD software with a particular emphasis on apparel development.
