Course Details

This is a distance learning course which can be studied from anywhere in the world. You will learn by working your way through our online course materials, complete with video content and full support from our dedicated expert tutors. Crochet is a highly popular and versatile craft that offers learners the chance to get creative and easily produce original finished pieces.

Course Modules

There are around 100-150 hours of course content split across 4 modules. Here’s what you’ll learn:

  • Casting on and off
  • Checking and controlling tension
  • Reading a pattern or chart
  • Develop a portfolio of your own patterns and designs
  • Experiment with different ideas, colours and textures
  • Learn advanced stitches like tunisian and hairpin
  • Edging and finishing techniques to add a professional looking finishing to your pieces
  • Complete a final assessment piece. Choose from wither a 3D functional item, a panel/hanging/quilt or a wearable art item.

Delivery & Assessment

The course is supplied as a distance learning course where course materials and tutor assessments are delivered digitally and work is returned to your tutor via digital presentation.

Your coursework will be reviewed by your tutor and periodically by an Internal Quality Assessor, to ensure the appropriate quality standard is maintained. You will be provided with written feedback in a timely fashion (usually within 10 days) and, if needed, you will be able to re-submit altered work. You can contact your tutor at any time to request your work to date be reviewed and suggestions for future progress be made.

Course Timescales

There is around 100-150 hours of course content/materials and it is usual for students to take between 6-8 weeks to complete each module. Students can take up to 1 year to complete the course, which allows students to work at their own pace. However, it is up to the individual student how quickly they wish to return work to their tutor for assessment.

A six-month contingency is available, if needed, to cover unforeseen issues such as illness, upon production of supporting documentation, which would therefore extend the course life to 18 months (1.5 years). The maximum for this extra contingency time is once during the course lifetime.

Aimed At

Our Skill Stage 2 accredited courses are aimed at beginners. If you’ve only ever made a few projects by following patterns or perhaps you’ve only just found an interest in your new hobby, then we’d recommend that you study a Skill Stage 2 course. Courses at this level have been carefully designed to not only teach new techniques, but also introduce students to conducting research into artists or designers, and eventually learn how to create their own designs.

If you have already undertaken a few of the crochet basics in this area, but rarely read around your subject or have limited experience of attending courses or exhibitions then a Skills Stage 2 course is probably going to be your best bet.

A Skills Stage 2 course will introduce you to the pleasures of immersing yourself in your chosen craft. Not only does this help you to develop your own style but it’s also an important way of discovering new trends and exploring favourite artists.

Stéphanie Stafrach

“The thing I am most grateful for is the self confidence I’ve gained from this course. Now when there is something I would like to do, I will not try to find a pattern, I will work around it, I will find a way, a solution to create it. It is not daunting anymore, I know I have the skill to do it, I am not afraid to fail and do it again. Such a wonderful feeling.”

“For me, the design process has been the most helpful part of the course. From inspiration to research, to developing design ideas through to the finished piece. It has given me the confidence to continue that design process since I’ve finished the course.”
