They've stopped the course? That's a shame, I'm half way through it now. Though had to take it a bit slower in Module 7 due to volunteering at weekends.

I have a 3 in one printer the HP Photosmart, it seems to scan quite well for my drawings, fabric etc. I also take photos, use a bit of editing software (GIMP, is free) for cropping and reducing the size. I did run into a problem that my final document was over 8MB and had to reduce it, under 7MB seems fine to email. You could always go over your pencil lines in black pen, which may help to pick out the lines.

As I received all my workbooks and test papers all at once mine arrived altogether. I think you need to contact Stonebrige and ask them about your test paper. If you send in by post,make sure you get proof of posting in case it gets lost.
I hope you get your PC fixed, in later modules more research needs to be done in some areas of study and the Internet is very useful for this. You will reach a few assignments that are more theory based, but there isn't that much to do, mainly is all practical.

I work in the daytime until 4.30pm. I found the first few modules quite easy to do, so I spent a few evenings doing bits and then more at the weekends. Since reaching module 6 when things are very sewing related I slowed down and spent a bit longer. On average I have been completing 1 module each week. Now I'm on Module 8 after just starting in July, a lot of sewing terms and techniques I have to research in more detail, read up through my sewing books and learn all this new stuff. I do get frustrated and annoyed with myself. In the long run, when I look back at my work just before submitting I can see how far I have come. I feel this unit will take me a couple of weeks to complete.
Its very easy to submit online, make sure your file is less then 7MB, I have to zip file mine sometimes to reduce the size, email your contact at Stonebridge and then wait for your results, usually the same day. Its worth it, a lot quicker.

I will be applying for a fashion foundation degree through ucas so I hope this course helps me get in my chosen course, I have other experience too such as working in fashion retail companies such as River Island.
My advice for anyone starting this course is they should know how to sew and have a sewing machine because unlike all the other courses, this course require you to sewing and draw, it's creative, you also need to take pictures of your work if you are going an online course so that they see your creative work. This course is hard for people who are unable to sew because there isn't any teacher hear you to help with the sewing........
Its an interesting course and it needs commitment like any other course. You have to have the interest to make garments not just love fashion otherwise this course is not for you.
I hope my advice helps......

I've just enrolled to this course but haven't started yet because I cannot pay (capital controls in my country), I need to speak to the college to find how can I pay so I can access the course, that's why I have some questions. I have enrolled the "paper based" course. Will I receive my diploma by post or just as a pdf document? At "qualifications" says that I will receive 2 types of certificate: a diploma and a certificate of achievement. Can I use these two in my cv? What's the difference between those two certificates?
Also, I haven't draw any fashion piece before (actually I did, but it was really really really ugly), will I learn how to draw?
Thank you!
