The first three weeks of the course are dedicated to basic textile know-how topics. Next,
students select knitting, label weaving or needled narrow fabrics on which to concentrate their
studies. Finally, finishing techniques are taught. To graduate successfully and receive the
certificate woven on a Müller machine students must pass three days of practical and theoretical
examinations.
