Coursework may be introduced in whole or in part to relevant apparel management classes. The training in apparel management technology Business Management Software Training is completed using virtual multimedia training tools, software simulations, and checkpoint for Apparel and Fashion assessments which can be used in any fashion classroom (in full or in part) with teacher answer keys, industry indices, student level apparel man- agement guides and actual hands-on learning.
