AFS – The Academy of Fashion Studies – is a distinguished name in the field of fashion and design education. Established in 1993, AFS has been the original pioneer in conducting guidance classes specifically curated for students aspiring to crack the competitive entrance exams of premier fashion and design institutes such as NIFT, NID, and other top national art and design schools. With nearly two decades of successful operations, AFS has developed a winning formula that combines expert guidance, a proven curriculum, and cutting-edge teaching methodologies. Now, AFS is opening doors for ambitious entrepreneurs to be a part of its success story through a franchise opportunity.
AFS offers an exclusive chance to step into the niche and rewarding field of fashion entrance exam coaching. With a legacy of over 1676 selections in NIFT alone since its inception, AFS continues to lead the industry with its innovative and result-oriented approach. In 2005, every sixth student selected for NIFT's design program was from AFS. In the same year, AFS celebrated 125 selections in Pearl Academy, with every third design student being an AFS alumnus. These figures are a testament to the quality of education and mentorship provided at AFS.
The academy offers a diverse range of courses to cater to the varied needs of aspiring designers. These include the CRASH COURSE in GAT & CAT, the AFS Internet Powered Postal Coaching (IPPC) for remote learners, the AFS Design Portfolio program, and a comprehensive 1-year Diploma in Fashion Design Management, among others. The institution also organizes Career Guidance Seminars annually at the prestigious PHD Chamber, further enhancing student awareness and career readiness.
What sets AFS apart is not just its academic excellence but its commitment to student welfare. The faculty and staff are known for their supportive and approachable nature, particularly towards outstation students. Affordable and respectable board and lodging facilities are available nearby, ensuring that students feel at home while they pursue their dreams.
