    • Healthy N. ★★★★★ Elege Black School of Fashion Design is truly one of the best fashion academies in Abuja. The environment is serene, the tutors are highly professional, and their teaching methods are practical and easy to understand. From fashion illustration to pattern drafting and garment construction, every class is packed with value. I love how patient the instructors are—they don’t just teach, they mentor you until you fully understand. Enrolling here has been one of my best decisions, and I’d recommend Elege Black to anyone serious about building a successful fashion career.

    • Mary J. ★★★★★ I had a great time at Lamirah Fashion academy.@Lamirah Fashion School is the best place to be if you are thinking of going to a fashion school in abuja ,everything is taught professional and in the simplest way you will understand.The tutors are well detailed,committed to great service and were very friendly. I’m glad and happy I made the right decision to have my training @Lamirah fashion Academy..
    • yawati S. ★★★★★ I was once a student at the L'amirah fashion academy and I must say there would have not been a better place for me to train than L'amirah fashion because I got all I wanted to learn in the fashion industry. I was fulfilled and satisfied by their method of teaching. I spent 3month to learn how to sew both Male and female dresses, even in that 3 months, it was three times in a week; 4hours each day. If someone could calculate that means I spent roughly about 36 days to learn sewing unisex dresses. If you really want to learn sewing to meet standard, I recommend you attend L'amirah fashion academy and I assure you won't feel disappointed. Thank you .

    • CHRIS A. ★★★★★ Indeed Abuja college of fashion is a fashion home, My experience with the company is superb with a high quality touch! One of my Royal wedding attires was designed by this organisation. I can categorically confess that I will recommend anyone to this College of fashion for any task with my two eyes closed. Well-done the sky is your beginning sir
    • Vincent B. ★★★★★ Good evening, Abuja fashion is doing wonderfully okay but let me quickly throw light on the office arrangements sir. 1. Your office is not well arranged sir. We are having cupboards to have those nylons on ground arranged. We have gone viral and I must tell you that most people will get disappointed when they walk into your office sir. I will be very happy if we can have that office arranged as soon as possible as it will speaks more well of us when clients pay us visit sir. 2. This goes to our lecture room which equally serves as our workshop. I don't know if it's possible to mandate or instruct students o be going home with their working materials like text books, fabrics, bags, and unnecessary loads to will shatter the whole place. Since I came, there are some bags of ex students left untouched till date. Please place a circulate to the evacuation of those bags if the owners refuse to come for them in a week time sir. 3. My next observation is time conscious. I observed people come at their own time. This is school where people are expected to have resumption and closing hours. Let there be time table for students to be adherence to. Whoever missed his or her class for the day should prepare next day for time is essence sir. 4. The ex students. There is nothing wrong in coming back to the school for refresh courses but they should pay equally. Yes everything is not all about money but it will push away for others to have chance too to learn and safe your time. 5. Introduction of marketing into the syllabus. Please there's urgent need for the market course to be introduced sir. Let students at a particular point to enable us know how to market our works for betterment of our future business sir. 6. Weekend classes. Presently students are not taking weekend classes serious which is very wrong. If weekend is for practical only, let's know to enable us prepare our minds. 7. Finally, once in a while we students should be mandate to go out for the awareness both online and offline. We have to be proud of our school and let the world know that we are the best. Flies can be printed and we go our for road works for more awareness sir. Regards..... Vincent Oziadaovosi
