The products are are a) Pattern Construction, b) Fashion Design, c) Pattern Grading, d) Fashion Express pattern making, e) Sewing, f) e-Telestia (on line training school, specialising in clothing and fashion courses). They are all based on the same principles and use them to cover the needs of the specific subject every time. Among these products, two training modules, TELESTIA AB: Fashion Express and Pattern Making, were transferred into Turkish and Romanian under a Transfer of Innovation project.
