The course is aimed at all who want to approach the world of footwear design and must acquire the fundamental skills for a professional approach to this sector.

 

Why attend this course?

The world of footwear is full of special features and technical aspects that must be considered when designing new products and collections.

Even a good training in the field of fashion design is not enough to face up to the footwear industry competently.

This course is an opportunity to acquire in short time some fundamental technical skills in the design of footwear styles and collections at the Shoes Academy of San Mauro Pascoli, shoe district and home of well-known footwear brands of the luxury segment.

The proximity of the Cercal headquarters from the Romagna Riviera allows you to combine the attendance of the course with a holiday in the “Land of Hospitality” par excellence, with its nearby beaches, historical villages and castles of Montefeltro and art cities such as Rimini and Ravenna, all of this in a period when the Riviera and the Romagna hinterland offer plenty of events, entertainment along with cultural and gastronomic proposals.
