A good practice case study selected by the Commission on Adult Vocational Teaching and Learning (CAVTL), Ofsted, and the Education and Training Foundation (ETF). In 2005, the Association of Master Upholsters and Soft Furnishers (AMUSF) developed its own craft qualifications in an effort to ensure that the qualifications of students were aligned with industry-standards. This case study details how Wendy Shorter Interiors works towards AMSUFs qualification standards and prepares students for the world of work, through the provision of three-tiered training in upholstery and soft furnishing.
