Maggie Huckfield, Manager of House of Fraser Worcester believes that increasing the skill level within the city’s retail workers is paramount to the future success of the city. Maggie commented “As Worcester’s leading department store we feel it is now essential that the city as a whole delivers a high level of customer service which will encourage a loyal customer base and help attract visitors”.
Retail is a fast-paced and growing industry, full of quirky ideas and creative minds. Demand is growing for new retail gurus who can succeed in this industry and make big profits, even in the face of an economic recession.
With many roles to consider, from dressing window displays to sourcing ethical suppliers, retail professionals need to be organised, motivated and customer focused. Does this sound like you? Could you be the next Mary Portas or Sir Philip Green? Then look no further. We have the perfect course for you!

Our fast track programme is unique to Worcester College of Technology and the only place in the UK where you can complete your Level 3 and 4 Diplomas in Retail and Visual Merchandising in just two years!
We have developed our programme alongside CrownGate, Cathedral Plaza and the Black Country Skills Shop, so you know that you are gaining approved and industry-recognised qualifications. Our aim is to deliver a comprehensive learning experience in a shorter period, so that you can enter the world of work as soon as possible.
We have collaborated with top Worcester retailers, such as House of Fraser, Animal, Barbarella and Stripes to offer dynamic work placements that will complement your class-based lectures, group activities and research projects. You will spend two or three days a week in the classroom and the rest of your time out in the workplace practising your skills. This is an innovative and exciting programme and brand new for 2012.
