Testimonial:

"To the wonderful staff at FCC, I just wanted to share with you that I have found my place in the fashion industry. For the last year I have been a temporary employee at Disguise Costumes. I have been working in CAD utilizing the pattern making, marker making and grading skills I learned while I was a student at FCC. Today I was made a permanent employee! I want to thank all of you for enriching my life with such a wonderful educational experience. I enjoyed everyday at FCC, even the ones where I was so stressed I wanted to pull my hair out. My teachers were my inspiration and I would like to personally thank all of you".
