Accredited Craft Certificate Courses

Considering a career change? As an approved training centre we deliver courses which are accredited by the Association of Master Upholsterers and Soft Furnishers (AMUSF). These courses are aimed at those who wish to learn the craft in depth, in order to either enter the trade or wish to start their own business.

The course follows a syllabus set by the AMUSF comprising a minimum of 210hrs in 12 months, which, on successful completion results in the award of a Craft Certificate in Upholstery.
