The NOCN Skills for the Fashion Industries qualification suite is a response to the Skillfast-UK Sector Qualification Strategy review of August 2006 which noted that barriers to industry-relevant education and training included a lack of accessible courses focused on the specific needs of industry, especially in specialist technical areas. industry need, and provides a major contribution to the qualifications currently available for the apparel industry.
