The ARTS courses take you a long way on your own. You learn the method and make the garments with your own hands.
Premium adds the one thing only a person can give: the master's eye on your own work. Andrew looks at what you have made and tells you why the collar is standing away, or the balance is off. That judgement, built over fifty years, is the difference between a maker and a tailor.
Premium gives you two things the other tiers do not: Andrew reviewing your own work every week on a live video call, and the complete fitting process taught the same way, where he guides you through fitting four real people, from the first fitting to a finished master pattern. You do the work; he guides you, call by call, wherever in the world you are.
Draft patterns from a client's direct measurements, and figure them to real bodies
Construct the full suit by hand
Fit four real people from first fitting to a finished master pattern: train your eye to spot the fitting issues, apply the remedies, and transfer them onto paper
Learn all of it with Andrew guiding you on a weekly video call, so the judgement becomes your own, in the way it is done on Savile Row
The complete making programme, over 111 hours filmed and explained by Andrew:
Foundation and Hand-Sewing Skills (10 hours)
Pattern Drafting, with printable guides (17.5 hours)
Trouser Making (11.5 hours)
Waistcoat Making (13.5 hours)
Jacket Making (59 hours)
Each session is a video call of up to an hour, once a week.
Weekly one-to-ones with Andrew, for 18 months. After that you keep the courses for life, but the meetings end.
The complete fitting process, taught live. Across your sessions, Andrew guides you through fitting four real models or customers, from the first fitting to a finished master pattern for each.
Your work, in front of the master, every week, for 18 months.
Each week you bring Andrew what you have made, and he reviews it with you on a live video call: what is right, what is not, and how to put it right. Short of standing in his workroom in London, it is as close as you can get to the master's eye on your work. These calls run for eighteen months. After that, you keep lifetime access to the courses, but the calls end.
Fit four real people, with Andrew guiding you. The fitting is not taught from a video. You work with four models or customers, and Andrew guides you through the complete process on each one, from the first fitting through to a master pattern.
You can use paying clients. Nothing stops you bringing your own customers to these sessions. They get something no other tailor in training can offer: Andrew Ramroop's guidance on their own fitting, through you. You learn on real work, and your clients get the master's eye on their garment while you do.
Each session is a video call of up to an hour, once a week, for 18 months.
On completion you receive an ARTS Certificate of Completion carrying Andrew Ramroop's name, recognising the work you have completed on the complete programme, in the tradition of the Row.
“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.”
Valdone - Scotland
“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. ”
Timothy - Uganda
“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.”
Merridy - Australia
“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.”
