Accredited, hands-on
QCTO-accredited sewing and clothing-manufacturing programmes, endorsed by FP&M SETA, taught on real machines, not slides.
The Incubator
Accredited training
with a real way in.
Unlike a college, we pair formal accredited learning with real production and market access, so you graduate industry-ready, with your work already on the shelf. Over 890 designers and machinists trained since 2016.
A stipend while you train
Our compensation model lets incubatees earn above the industry stipend average while they learn, through real production work.
Your work on the shelf
Graduates design collections that sell through our store, Takealot and showcases. You leave with your work already in market.
Durban campus
You learn on the floor, on real machines.

Graduate outcomes
Proof you can point to.
Our strongest evidence isn't a brochure. It's a graduate's garment on the shelf, and the graduate standing next to it. Employers, funders and future learners can see the pipeline working end to end.
