    • 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!

    • Anietie E. ★★★★★ Before I enrolled in ABSL, I had no basic knowledge or training on how to sew. But after the 4months pattern drafting course, I was able to construct garments neatly and perfectly interprets designs and many more. I recommend ABSL Fashion Institute to beginners and anyone who desire to be outstanding in fashion designing. The instructor is wonderful, always there to provide answers to your questions. The lectures are simplified and detailed ....
    • Ugochi A. ★★★★★ I was fresh out of fashion school, when I did the 6 weeks intensive class at ABSL. Before then I was not confident that I could face customers but after the course and the wonderful and ever ready, follow up by Doyin. The teaching was detailed and easy to follow. I have since continued using only the pattern she taught me. Every now and again, when I have any questions, she is always ready to help. I would recommend ABSL to anyone wanting to go into the fashion business.
