TEN members of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) have begun training on an internal Garment Construction Course.

The course commenced on Monday, October 3, 2022, and was officially declared open on Thursday, November 17, 2022. It is scheduled for 36 weeks.

The successful students of this course will gain the knowledge and skill to correctly perform all steps required to construct garments from beginning to end.

According to the GDF, the course, which caters for students with little to no knowledge of garment construction, will be held in three phases: beginners, intermediate and advanced. The covered areas will include garment construction terminology, tools, seams and finishes, fabric cutting, and fabric stitching.
