Lab Trainings

Design cool things. Get certified. Use the equipment to make it. 

FALL 2025: 

The Fashion Technology Lab Trainings are now self-directed with training videos! 

Complete your orientation by watching the training video, then pass the quiz with a score of 90% or above (Link below). Once you pass the orientation quiz,  you may need to complete a series of machine samples to prove that you understand the foundations of the machines in the lab that you wish to use. For the Textiles Innovation Lab and the Apparel Production Lab, you must complete the practical training activity and the Orientation quiz before you can obtain your certification. 

STEPS:

-Watch the training Video

Take the Quiz and pass with 90% or more. 

Complete a training activity for the APL and TIL(printouts and material sample packets are provided in the lab)

-Turn in your training activity samples an worksheet. An FTL lab team member will issue your certification for the lab after checking your work and ensuring that you understand how to use the machine safely. You can pick up your certification badge in the lab 24 hours after you have passed th orientation. 

CONGRATS!  —you'll have access to use the labs (during open lab hours, of course).
