    • Peace O. ★★★★★ : I had a great learning experience at this fashion institute. The training was practical, well-structured, and easy to follow. The instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping students improve. Ms Ann ooh my God you're more than a tutor , thank you for all you do for us. I highly recommend Basilian Ann Fashion Institute to anyone looking to build strong fashion design skills.
    • MARIAM A. ★★★★★ : Miss Anitaaaaaaaa like I fondly call her! Who would imagine that a tutor would be so friendly and kind to her students! That is Miss Anita- owner of Basilian Ann is! 😊😊 No matter the hour and time, call her and she will answer all of your fashion and pattern issues. I have once had joiners issue and she willingly allowed her joiner come help with my own clients work. Which tutor will do that? She’s not just a tutor to me anymore, she has become a name that my entire family knows about. Before you know it, you’ll hear, ‘…and how’s that your tutor miss anitaaa’. Thank you so much for teaching me so well and still following up with me after fashion school. It’s is your coconut baby typing 😂😂. If you need a teacher that will settle down and explain things, you should be a student of Basilian Ann 🥰

    • jesus T. ★★★★★ : Leyshine fashion school is the best fashion academy ever. I study online, and it's amazing, they have all the resources to make the learning task funny and entertaining. It's incredible how much I have advanced since I started studying with them, at first I didn't even know how to draft a basic pattern, and now, I can do my own designs. The teachers are amazing, and they're always looking for new material to make you progress, my teacher, Oluwaseun (please forgive me if I wrote it wrong) knows every drafting technique, from Hellen Joseph Armstrong to Tomoko Nakamichi. They work really hard to ensure that you learn in a comfortable and funny way. I'm so grateful I found them.
    • Cassandra O. ★★★★★ : I recently attended this fashion school as a beginner, and overall, my experience has been quite positive. The curriculum is comprehensive, covering various aspects of fashion design. One standout feature is the quality of instruction from our instructor, whose passion and expertise truly elevate the learning experience. She provide valuable insights and foster a creative environment that encourages experimentation. One minor drawback is the waiting time to get individual attention; there are moments when you may find yourself waiting for your turn to be taught. However, the perks of this waiting time include the opportunity to observe and listen to classmates and gain inspiration from their work. If you're looking for a place to hone your fashion skills with the guidance of an exceptional teacher, this school is definitely worth considering!

How to choose safely

What to check before choosing fashion design institutes in Lagos

Rankings are a starting point. For this category, these are the checks that most often separate a useful recommendation from a risky one.

  • Check accreditation

    Ask which body accredits the programme and what certificate you receive at the end, then confirm it with that body before you enrol.

  • Get fees and duration in writing

    Course fees, what they cover, the length of the course and the class schedule should be on paper before any payment.

  • Visit the classroom first

    See the training room, the equipment and a class in session before paying. A tour tells you more than a brochure.
