Master a Practical Skill. Earn a National Certification. Build a Real Career.

Introduction: A Skill That Has Built Families for Generations

For decades, tailoring has been one of the most reliable trades in Kenya.

From school uniforms and corporate wear to ceremonial attire and everyday clothing, tailors have always been in demand. In every town, market, estate, and village, there is always a tailor at work — measuring, cutting, stitching, and earning a living.

Tailoring is not just a craft.
It is a business.
It is a profession.
It is a skill that feeds families.

At Delight Technical College, you can turn this timeless skill into a nationally recognised qualification through the Tailoring Trade Test – Artisan (NITA).

What Is a Tailoring Trade Test?

A Tailoring Trade Test is a skills-based national certification examined by NITA (National Industrial Training Authority).

It focuses on:

• Practical garment construction
• Sewing machine operation
• Cutting and fitting
• Finishing techniques
• Workplace competence

Unlike academic courses, a trade test proves what you can actually do with your hands.

It is ideal for:

• Beginner tailors
• Practicing tailors who want certification
• Youth looking for employable skills
• Entrepreneurs who want to start tailoring businesses

Why Tailoring Still Matters Today

In an era of imported clothes and fast fashion, tailored garments remain essential.

People still need:

• School uniforms
• Corporate wear
• Church and ceremonial outfits
• Custom-made clothing
• Repairs and alterations

Tailors are always needed.

A tailoring skill is never outdated.
