Tips for a Better Visit
Check Refunds. Before enrolling, get the security-deposit refund timeline and visa-cancellation charges in writing; one review describes months of delay.
Ask About Practice. For styling, ask whether your course includes live shoots, fashion shows or collaborations, since these are highlighted as portfolio-building work.
Check Course Scope. If choosing Luxury Brand Management, review the syllabus carefully: one graduate found it useful as a foundation rather than deep management training.
Expect Presentations. Prepare for regular presentations in Luxury Brand Management; a graduate found repeated practice improved public-speaking skills.

The Bottom Line
FAD is a fashion design school in Dubai Design District with a strong focus on styling, design and luxury-fashion education. The three-month Fashion Styling course is the clearest recurring theme in the reviews: students describe learning the different styling categories, taking part in live shoots and fashion shows, and using that work to build experience and portfolios. The teaching style is another draw.
Reviews repeatedly mention industry-working tutors and mentors, practical feedback, and a friendly team that remains helpful after graduation. Luxury Brand Management includes presentations, masterclasses and industry visits, while fashion design students describe progressing through levels and experimenting with their own designs. Internship and job opportunities are regularly mentioned, although access to them is not presented consistently by every reviewer.
There are important administrative cautions. Two graduates report waiting months for a 2,500 AED security-deposit refund after completing their courses, and one also questioned 1,100–1,200 AED in out-of-country visa-cancellation charges. Another graduate alleged favouritism in internship selection.
If you are considering a course, clarify the refund process, cancellation fees and internship criteria before paying. Also check the syllabus for Luxury Brand Management if you want in-depth management training rather than a broad introduction.
