Students pursuing a course in fashion language might expect to learn standard conversation as well as specialized jargon for the fashion industry. These courses would be most useful for a student who wishes to engage in the clothing or fashion industries overseas.

A course is the study of a particular topic within a wider subject area and is the foundation of a qualification. A typical course includes lectures, assessments and tutorials.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
