Teaching methods include workshops, theoretical courses, lectures and enterprise practice. The school arranges enterprise practice and practical teaching every academic year.
The teaching requirements of Beijing ESMOD are exactly the same as those of France, that is, students must pass strict professional examinations every academic year. The professional level of first-year students has reached the level of understanding the clothing industry and being familiar with the professional thinking and creative mode of ESMOD international. The professional level of second-year students has reached the level of being basically competent for the clothing industry, and the third-year students have reached the level of determining their own style and future development direction. Students begin to receive practical training from the second grade (the first grade of advanced class), assuming that they are professional designers of a certain brand, and start to create, and teachers with rich practical experience provide guidance and understand the soul of the brand.
