The general training fee for general workers is about 2000 yuan. Some ordinary sewing workers are trained for clothing factories for free. The money collected shall be treated according to the signed labor training contract.

In secondary vocational schools and higher vocational schools, the study period is generally more than three years, because it takes a long time to learn not only sewing but also culture. Technical schools under the Labor Bureau have short-term sewing training courses, the duration of which is generally 1 to 3 months.
