4 week Visual Merchandising and Store Layout Course -
|
| "I own a fashion retail business in South America. The E-Learning Visual Merchandising course that I took from Sarah Manning at VMC has made a tangible difference in my business. After taking the Visual Merchandising course I was able to understand the very commercial and practical principles that come into space management, display, and visual organisation that go into store layout. Applying them has been beneficial both in an immediate financial sense, as well as in the important project of establishing a well-defined brand image, and elevating the status of the store brand name."

This course is aimed at students interested in an intermediate - advanced level of visual merchandising but unable
to attend our face-to-face classes in London and Hertfordshire, UK. The course is delivered online, enabling
students to study in their own time and interact with the tutor and fellow students through a weekly class sessions
for 4 weeks. Weekly learning activities are accessed through our collaboration with Mock Shop whose software,
already readily used by High St retailers will enable you to produce your own 3D virtual shop floor. You will also be using the No Need 4 Mirrors virtual Window Design & Dressing program, where you will be able to practice styling both mannequins and window displays with the latest trends.
After learning the initial theory of visual merchandising, you will go on to research and design your own fashion
window and in store retail shop floor following a set project brief. You will also explore fashion brand styling,
in store visual merchandising, product presentation and store layouts. Understand the effective use of retail
marketing material and graphics within windows and in store. You will then learn how to present your work from this
course in a professional manner, which will assist with future interviews into the industry.
This course will allow you to engage with fellow students who are located across a wide geographical area. In
addition, students will also receive a one-to-one introduction and 1 hour tutorial session during the 4 week
course.

| "The E-learning VMC is an ideal solution for those who are unable to attend weekly lectures. The Mockshop software, widely used in the retail industry, enable students to gain practical skills online that traditionally would only be achieved in an 'in person' situation. The use of Mockshop, combined with Sarah's vast knowledge and top notch tuition, provide students with the skills to excel in the highly competitive retail industry. I would highly recommend this course!"
Lisa Knee, Oxford UK Student who attended the E-Learning Visual Merchandising Course using Mockshop, March 2011 |
| "As retailers fight harder and harder for the consumer's money, the power of the retail experience
is vital to their success. Therefore, the look of the store, as well as the functioning of it, is key
to long term success. Mockshop helps both design a store and help it function economically and our
users see it as a method of planning and designing for success. Our students see it as important to
having a rounded view of retailing, the retail cycle and the consumer's viewpoint, a very useful
addition to their cv."
