Andrew M. Ramroop, OBE CMTT

Founder

Prof. Andrew Ramroop has been practising his craft at Maurice Sedwell on Savile Row for over 50 years. He is the founder of the Savile Row Bespoke Academy (SRBA™) and was awarded the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his services as a trainer and Savile Row tailor. He also holds the title of Professor for Distinction in the Field of Tailoring, awarded by the University of the Arts London. He serves as an advisor to the President of the World Federation of Master Tailors. A.R.T.S is his way of making that level of teaching available to anyone, anywhere, who is serious enough to want it. PREMIUM students have direct, exclusive access to Prof. Ramroop for a weekly one-on-one session to review their work, correct their technique, and guide their progress.

What you get with A.R.T.S

The standard, not an interpretation. Every module is taught by Prof. Ramroop himself. You are learning the process as it is practised on Savile Row, not an adapted version of it.

  • Over 200 video modules From basic sewing through to advanced ultra-bespoke construction. Work through them in sequence or go directly to the skills you need.

  • Certificates that mean something. Every student who completes a course receives a Certificate of Completion. PREMIUM students who meet the standard, achieving above 95%, additionally receive the A.R.T.S Certificate: a unique credential confirming mastery across all components of bespoke tailoring.

  • On your schedule, wherever you are, no fixed class times. The platform is accessible anywhere. Students across the UK, the US, Japan, Australia, the Caribbean, and Europe are learning to the same standard.

  • Direct access to the master, at Premium level weekly one-on-one video sessions with Prof. Ramroop. He reviews your work, identifies what needs correcting, and tells you how to fix it. There is no equivalent to this anywhere else online.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need prior experience?

    For PREMIUM and VOLITION, no prior experience is needed. The programme takes you from the beginning. For Individual Modules, it depends on which you choose. Drafting and making bundles cover the full process for a specific garment. Making-only modules assume you already have the garment cut and require prior pattern drafting knowledge. For any module that involves construction, we recommend also enrolling in the Foundation and Hand Sewing Skills module — it covers the hand sewing techniques that underpin the making process and will significantly improve your results.

  • Can I learn at my own pace?

    Yes. There are no fixed class times. You access the content when it suits you. PREMIUM students have weekly one-on-one sessions with Prof. Ramroop, booked at a time that suits them using an online calendar.

  • Will I receive a certificate?

    Every student who completes a course receives a Certificate of Completion. PREMIUM students who meet the standard, achieving above 95%, additionally receive the A.R.T.S Certificate: a credential confirming mastery across all components of bespoke tailoring.

  • Can I ask questions or get feedback?

    Yes. You can post questions under each lesson. PREMIUM students additionally receive direct, weekly one-on-one feedback from Prof. Ramroop himself.

If you are committed to learning bespoke tailoring to a standard that means something, whether you are starting from scratch, upskilling from within the trade, or looking for proper Savile Row instruction without being in London, this is where you start.

What our students say

“The Savile Row Bespoke Academy online tailoring course has far exceeded my expectations. The depth of knowledge I acquired while studying is astonishing. This course not only equipped me with the technical skills necessary for bespoke tailoring but also touched on the rich history, intricate techniques, and nuances of the craft of sartorial tailoring. One of the most valuable aspects of the online course was the 1:1 meetings with Professor Andrew Ramroop. The guidance and mentorship from an expert in the field proved to be invaluable for my professional and personal development. Professor Andrew always kindly shared his extensive experience, provided honest feedback, also motivated and encouraged me to push my boundaries and strive for excellence in every aspect of the work, from pattern cutting and performing fittings to finishing the garments. The benefits of 1:1 mentorship in weekly online meetings cannot be overstated. It allowed me to learn at my own pace, ask questions, and receive guidance that addressed my strengths and weaknesses. Andrew not only taught me the technical aspects of bespoke tailoring but also instilled in me a deep appreciation and understanding of the art of sartorial tailoring. Thanks to the course, I was able to improve my skills and develop a distinct aesthetic and attention to detail. I believe that this knowledge sets me apart in the competitive fashion industry and also allows me to take on any bespoke projects with confidence and ease. I also observed that most, if not all skills taught in the academy are transferrable and applicable to a broad range of projects. I highly recommend this online bespoke tailoring course to anyone who wants to gain a comprehensive understanding of the art of tailoring and benefit from personalised mentorship. It is a transformative experience that will not only enhance your skills but also instil a passion for bespoke tailoring.”

“The ARTS online course gave me access to a wealth of knowledge that I haven't found curated so well anywhere else. The platform is very user friendly because the course content is organised neatly into modules and topics which makes it easy to follow and track your progress. I particularly enjoyed the hand sewing module and came to appreciate hand craft tailoring as a very relaxing and calming exercise once I mastered the needle and thimble action. The making of a milanese buttonhole really stood out because it's quite fascinating how such a small but complex part adds such a great deal of elegance to a garment. I also found the option to have one to one meetings with Prof. Andrew Ramroop a very fulfilling part of the experience to get first hand insight, solutions to any challenges and answers to any questions. I have no doubt that anyone who chooses to do this course will have all the resources and support they need to become a master of the art of bespoke cutting and tailoring.”

“I’m so happy to have spent the past couple of years working my way through this course under the watchful eye of Prof Ramroop. He has a fascinating background and extensive experience, which he is more than happy to share and he encourages me to ask as many questions about all aspects of tailoring (the practice and the business) – he truly is a one of a kind. Having worked my way through most of the course videos, one of my favourite aspects is Prof Ramroop’s gentle humour. The videos are well produced, easy to follow (and it helps to be able to rewatch as many times as I like) and narrated as if you are in the room with him. Listen closely not only for the wealth of knowledge but also the jokes! As a sewist of more than 40 years, I searched for a course to upskill and challenge myself and this course has provided that in spades. I thought it would be best to learn from the best, and Savile Row is the pinnacle of tailoring standards. I’m so grateful to be able to learn how to produce a three piece suit of the highest standard, and it’s no issue living on the other side of the world – it’s been an amazing experience. It helps to be self motivated and driven; some of the information and skills have been very new and at times overwhelming; if I were to give any advice, it would be to ask ALL the questions and practice, practice, practice. For example, hand worked buttonholes were a very new skill for me so I did one a day for 30 days and saw a huge improvement. My favourite modules are pattern drafting and jacket construction. There’s a feedback loop in measuring, drafting, cutting, basting, fitting, altering and finishing – so I can now ‘see’ the finished product as I measure again, draft again, baste again as I understand the reason for each tiny step. Thanks Prof Ramroop for putting this course together and being so generous with your time! I am a much more confident tailor. Looking forward to passing the course (fingers crossed!) and being able to integrate tailoring as a career option in the future.”

“What i liked the most was to watch Master Ramroop explaining step by step, how to finish and to perfect a garment. Each of the videos had its own sense and important points, to become a real master of the trade. What stood out the most to me was the ability to rewatch and consolidate the knowlegde. I really felt supported by every step i took, by every decision i had to make and guided in questions about the business. The platform was very user-friendly and had the great feature to arrange a personal oppointment(videocall) by a calendar. Overall was it a great decision to take part in the onlinecourse because i grew as a taillor and especially as a person. ”
