A two-year, 2,000-hour programme with internships, project work, and exclusive visits to fashion industry companies.

The course, which is currently in its third year, was co-designed by the Olivetti Foundation (previously FITSTIC) and the FRI Foundation which, pursuing its mission of stimulating the evolution of the fashion industry, will contribute to shaping the modules from a digital and green perspective.

The two-year programme, divided into four semesters, will begin by November 2025 and conclude by December 2027.

The programme offers 2,000 hours of training, 800 of which are dedicated to internships in fashion companies, with the option of completing half of these hours in a European Union country thanks to the Erasmus+ programme. This hands-on experience will allow you to acquire concrete skills and increase your job placement opportunities.

Upon completion of the course and passing a final exam, the Specialization Diploma in Applied Technologies in “Higher Technician for Research, Development, and Production Processes of Fashion System Products” will be awarded, certifying skills corresponding to Level V of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).

The qualification will be accompanied by the EUROPASS diploma supplement to facilitate its circulation nationally and Europeanly.

“The project is supported by European funding from the Emilia-Romagna Region. The project was approved by Regional Council Resolution No. 1137/2025, pending Regional Funding Resolution.”

The two-year Fashion programme is designed for young people and adults who wish to acquire the skills and knowledge needed to enter the dynamic world of fashion.

 A high school degree or, alternatively, a four-year professional degree and an IFTS qualification are prerequisites for enrolment in the programme. The programme has a maximum of 25 places.

Admission to the programme is based on the results of a selection process pursuant to Article 3 of the Decree of the Ministry of Education, University, and Research of September 7, 2011. Applications for admission to the selection process are open to young people and adults with a high school diploma, as well as young people and adults with a four-year vocational education and training diploma and who have attended a one-year supplementary course in Higher Technical Education and Training.

The ranking will be based on the sum of the scores obtained, as indicated below:

• Qualifications = max 15 points of the final high school diploma grade
• Written exam = maximum of 35 points depending on the outcomes of the three separate written tests, which are intended to evaluate the general culture, IT proficiency, technical and technological knowledge, and English language proficiency needed to successfully complete the training programme.
• Interview = max 50 points for motivation, aptitude, and technical assessment, to allow for the assessment of the knowledge, interpersonal and decision-making skills and interdisciplinary skills required for successful programme participation.

Admission to the programme is reserved for candidates deemed suitable by the examining committee. Only those with a score of 60/100 or higher are considered eligible. Eligible candidates are admitted in order of ranking until all available places are filled. In the event of a tie, priority will be given to the younger candidate.

In collaboration with a fashion brand or company, a project work is completed at the end of each academic year. The class is assigned a brief based on the client’s real needs. The class, divided into working groups and supervised by a tutor, works on the brief from February to May, alongside regular classes. Project Work takes up 30 hours of the curriculum in the first year and 70 hours in the second.

The final presentation of the group projects takes place at the company, before the heads of the departments involved (HR, Style, Communication, Product Development, R&D).
