      Certificate Programs in Textiles

      Students who complete a series of courses in a subject are awarded a certificate. Completion of a certificate program can be used as a springboard to a more advanced degree or as a resume enhancement for job seekers or working professionals.

      Textiles is a broad field that includes everything from fashion design to theatrical costume-making to the development of fibers intended for use in the automotive or carpet industries. So, what is a certificate in textiles?  Depending on the focus area, a certificate may be a general introduction to the creation and use of fabrics or a specialized program intended to train students for a niche industry. Many schools offer hands-on instruction in creating and crafting fabrics.

      Students may obtain several marketable skills, including the ability to create, dye and weave fabrics using cutting-edge technology. Learning to troubleshoot, communicate and work as a team are other possible benefits that can help both professionally and personally.

      Location of the school and length of the program are key factors in determining the cost of a certificate in textiles. Some programs last a year and require students to be on campus full-time while other programs allow more flexibility and may include online offerings.

      The job market in textiles is as broad and as varied as the subject matter. Depending on the focus of the curriculum, students completing a certificate program may be qualified for jobs such as costume design assistant, dressmaker, fashion designer, weaver, home furnishing textiles design assistant, textile lab technician, retail buyer, assistant retail buyer, textile fashion sketcher, pattern maker or sewing machine operator.

      Many schools around the world offer general or specialized programs in textiles. Choose a concentrated on-campus option or a flexible online experience or a combination of both.
